The HC Back To School Survival Kit does it again!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fordham chapter.

Fall is a great season for the Her Campus Fordham team. Pumpkin flavored everything, flannels and scarves, and football games galore get us all excited for the fall semester. But what gets us really excited? The Her Campus Back To School Survival kit. 

These days, packaging is everything. The folks at Affinitas know all about this. The “cupcake panties” that came in our BTS kit arrived in individual boxes shaped like, you guessed it, cupcakes. Speaking of sweets, we’ll never go hungry thanks to all the Luna bars and Chipotle coupons we’re rolling in. Seriously, we’re the envy of everyone else on campus drooling over our buy one, get one burritos. When we decide it’s time to work it all off, though, we’ll take a group trip to SoulCycle to redeem our free class, wearing out Sweetgreen headbands of course. 

To wash off the post-workout dirt, Garnier hooked us up with samples of their nourishing cleansing oil and blackhead eliminating scrub. For an extra boost, Tanda sent over coupons for 50% off their amazing Tanda Zap device. Clinically proven to clear or fade zits, this little guy is our new best friend. And, thanks to the Clue period tracking app, we’ll know just when to expect a breakout. To match the clear skin we’ll be rocking, European Wax Center spoiled us with coupons for their exfoliating gel as well. 

Last but not least, we’re working on expanding our wardrobes thanks to Aeropostale, who gernerously sent over $10 shopping cards, and Nasty Gal who sent us exclusive back-to-school accessories. Did we just humble brag through this whole blog? #SorryNotSorry.
