Retail therapy is personally one of my favorite things. But, it can get expensive! Thankfully, one of the best events of the year is quickly approaching: Amazon Prime Day. Prime Day is Amazon’s annual deal event every July 11-12 for Prime members. I’ve tried to take a hiatus from retail therapy and online shopping in preparation for this event. If you aren’t already an Amazon Prime member, WYD? This membership is worth every penny, especially if you are a college student.
I already have some SKIMS dupes on my list but I also have some essentials on my list that are perfect for college. I am slowly starting to get stuff ready for my senior year of college (I can’t talk about it, OK), and Prime Day has some stellar deals. I also have been loving the Her Campus 2023 College Packing List. I would highly suggest checking it out, especially if you are a first-time college student!
Even though I am not a college commuter, I have been eyeing some of the deals for college commuters this Prime Day. If you are a first-time college student or new to commuting to college, these seven deals on Prime Day are perfect for you.
