School is right around the corner, and in order to make sure that this year of college is among one of your best, then be sure to keep these six items with you.


Tupperware

This will come in handy when you want to pack some lunch for school, or when you want to save some leftovers. Your food will also last longer if it’s sealed, and it will definitely keep your fridge organized and smelling clean. You can’t go wrong with tupperware!

Back Up Battery
In college it seems like you end up using your phone way more then usual. And in between e-mailing, texting, taking pictures of your lunch on instagram, and tweeting, your phone just might not make it through the day. And if you don’t have time to run back to your apartment/dorm to re-charge then you might find yourself in a sticky phone less situation. And is it just me or do we always seem to need our phones the most when we’re out of battery? So I’d say that investing in a backup battery can really be a life saver. 


AZO Products-

If you’ve ever experienced a urinary tract infection (UTI) then you know that it’s a guaranteed mood killer. A UTI in college will surely suck the fun out of anything. Increased sexual activity can lead to a greater risk of an infection. And it’s always better to be prepared! With an AZO Urinary Pain Relief product, relief can come as quickly as an hour. So unlike the general brand, AZO acts fast to get to the source of the pain, in order to allow fast relief. It’s also the “#1 pharmacist-recommended brand.”

Dry Erase White Board
Too many of us know what it’s like to forget an important deadline, or to get the times of our finals mixed up. So I recommend buying a dry erase white board. These come in handy when you want to leave little stickies and memos to serve as your reminders for completing assignments. 

Book Light
There’s nothing worse then wanting to go to sleep and having a bright light shine in your face. A book light is great, especially if you’re sharing a room and you don’t want to disturb your roommate, or be disturbed. And even if you have your own room, a book light means a lower electricity bill! 

Foldable Shoes
A pair of cute heels goes well with about almost any outfit. They look great, but they aren’t the most comfortable shoe option out there. So when you’re out enjoying the night life it’s always great to have a pair of foldable shoes in your purse.
