The only thing that 99% of collegiettes everywhere have in common is that their backpack becomes a black hole. Do you need an umbrella? Check. Do you need a parking ticket from 2012? In there. Missing a bobby pin? Find a whole colony at the bottom of my bag. It seems no matter what we do, our bags will always be full of loose papers, spare change, and the lip gloss we lost freshman year. Christmas break is a PERFECT time to clean out the bag that you don’t appreciate enough. Her Campus is here to help with our perfect #HCSurvivalKits

2. Cold-Eeze
N.o.t.h.i.n.g is worse than a cold. But nothing is worse than a cold in college, it knocks you out. They make everything more difficult and get in the way of everything college should be.
