College students everywhere use Amazon all the time.  Here are some of my favorite items from Amazon that have helped me throughout college.

 

1. Desk Organizer: This desk organizer set is great for college students to organize their desk items such as pencils, pens, note cards and paper clips. It comes in a pack of three and has very high reviews as well as being cost-effective at $16.49. These desk essentials are super handy for college kids because you can store so much in them and they look cute!

 

  2. Oil diffuser: This one has personally helped me a lot with anxiety.  A natural oil diffuser disperses oils into the air that relaxes you and can even help with anxiety.  As a stressed college student, I love having an oil diffuser, as it helps calm my mind and ease me when I’m stressed with day-to-day life and college-related stress. You can buy many different scents for the diffuser, my personal favorite is lavender.

 

3. Slippers: Slippers are an absolute must for when it is cold outside, and you are spending a lot of time in your home or apartment.  No one wants to walk around their floors with cold feet. Pairing these with a matching robe is my favorite winter essential look. The slippers I wear come in many different shades and are truly the softest things you will ever put your feet in!

 

4. Shower caddy: Organise your shampoo, conditioner and body wash in a cute and stylish way! A cute shower caddy can spice up your shower or tub and is a great way to stay organized. The one that I have been using since my freshman year is high quality and comes with room for many bottles and even a clip-in piece for a razor. This one is only $20.99 and easily can be hung on any wall.

 

5. Noise-cancelling headphones: This must-have is definitely a little more expensive but has saved me in college. Having headphones that cancel out the noise around you is essential for studying and for working. The ones I have linked are a bit expensive, but I love these and have had no issues. You can also find more cost-effective ones.
