Her Campus Fall 2015 Survival Kit

Her Campus Fall 2015 Survival Kit

Recently Her Campus writers from colleges across the country received our Her Campus Survival Kits for the fall 2015 semester – full of fun and helpful stuff we never knew we needed! 

A cute Her Campus banner is now sitting on my desk, proclaiming my love for HC.

The first issue of #ActuallySheCan gives great advice for collegiettes and hopes to help girls “get inspired, empowered, informed”. I’m also excited to read previews of e. lockhart’s We Were Liars and David Levithan’s Every Day and Another Day.

A sampling of Cold-Eeze (and coupons for more) has already proved helpful for me in dealing with what one of my professors calls “the four-week plague”. There are also coupons to buy one, get one free for burritos at Chipotle, and a sample of Zing zero-calorie stevia sweetener.

Call me clueless for not knowing that eye shadow pencils were a thing, but I’m certainly glad they exist now! These ones from NYC New York Color are super cute and easy to apply, and I’ve already used them several times. They even have primer built in. Another miracle product is the cocoa butter swivel stick, which does wonders on chapped lips. TRESsemme’s Sea Foam and Sea Salt Spray finish off a sampling of great beauty products.  

It’s always good to have some extra headphones on hand, and now I have some with cute white, blue, and pink ear buds, produced by 5-hour Energy… as well as some actual 5-hour Energy. I can’t say I’m looking forward to a time when I’ll need to use it, but I’ll be thankful to have something to get me through whatever it is that’s draining my energy.

Finally, the survival kit is complete with a few stickers supporting My Social Canvas and Actually She Can, one of which is already adorning my laptop: “Live. Love. Learn. Repeat.”
