How to Get Through Midterms with HC’s Survival Kit!

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

We all know that Midterms are a stressful time collegiettes. With multiple study guides to create, tons of papers to write and the hours of sleep you’re getting becoming less and less, we all need a little help to get through in one piece. Luckily, Her Campus and its AWESOME sponsors are here to save the day with some amazing products to help us do just that! What are they? Check them out below!

Stay Hydrated!

CamelBak knows that a main staple in most people’s arsenals during Midterms is coffee – and lots of it. With their new insulated travel mug, The Forge Divide, they’re making it easy for you to stay focused and hydrated on the go. With the press of a button, enjoy that hot brew anywhere it takes you for up to SIX HOURS! The best part? IT’S COMPLETELY SPILL PROOF! So go ahead and throw it in your bag, you can be confident that all those study materials will stay nice and dry.

Stay Safe!

If there’s one thing you shouldn’t have to worry about during Midterms, it’s your health and well being. No fear collegiette’s, The Diva Cup, Monistat and Wearsafe have got your back!

For some it never fails – exams always fall on that time of the month. Stay calm and use a Diva Cup! The DivaCup is a reusable, bell-shaped menstrual cup that is worn internally, collecting rather than absorbing menstrual flow, offering more convenience, confidence and flexibility. The DivaCup provides up to 12 hours of leak-free protection and eliminates the need to carry extra menstrual products around, so, you could think of it as your handy little secret to carrying one less item in your bag!

If it’s not one thing it’s another. And if it’s not your period, it may be a yeast infection. When it comes to dealing with intimate health issues like yeast infections, young women are relying on advice that’s plain wrong – and even harmful. More than half – 53% – of young women say they don’t know how to deal with a yeast infection and two out of three women (66%) don’t know it can be cured with an over-the-counter treatment. There’s no reason to panic. In many cases, yeast infections areas easily treatable as they are common so reach for Monistat’s Complete Care Instant Itch Relief Cream when in need! 

Life can be unpredictable, whether it’s with your health or your safety. In those moments when you feel uneasy or unsafe, it’s hard to know how a situation will change–or how to get the help you need if it does. Say hello to the Wearsafe Tag! Discreet, wearable and easy to use, this is the only personal safety button that instantly connects you to the people who love you the most, giving them both your location and valuable information about what’s happening through a continuous audio stream. With a private group chat, the people in your network can also communicate with each other to quickly decide how to get you the right help, right away. We hope you never find yourself in a situation like this collegiettes, but it’s comforting to know that when you leave your late night study sesh, the Wearsafe Tag makes sure you get home safe! It’s the smartest, most effective personal safety system in the world, and it will allow you – and the people you care about – to live more confidently every day.

Stay Sexy!

Everyone has heard the saying, “look good, feel good,” and with a little help from Rimmel London, L’eggs, Flying Colors Apparel, Juicy Couture and Maidenform, it’s that much easier to do during Midterms!

Let’s face it, makeup and midterms aren’t the best of friends. Those extra minutes spent putting on a full face of makeup could be well substituted with some precious moments of sleep. However, Rimmel London knows that beauty doesn’t have to be a 50-step process and delivers wearable, on-trend looks at a superior value! With a bit of their 24HR Supercurler Mascara, a swipe of their Colour Precise Eyeliner and a dab of their The Only 1 Lipstick, you’ll be looking and feeling your best, wherever your studies take you!

The easiest way to feel well during Midterms is to dress well, and that means comfy from head to toe. With L’eggs Sheer Energy Sheer Panty Medium Support stockings, you’ll be looking and feeling great thanks to their Sheer Energy knit that micro-tones legs for constant, refreshing comfort that feels like an all-day massage! Pair that with a comfy Love the Lift® Push Up & In Lace Demi Bra from Maidenform. The side shape and push in design enhances your shape and creates a perfect narrow profile where smoothing side wings wrap your body in comfortable support. And why not pair them both with some fun and fashion forward clothing courtesy of Flying Colors Apparel. Pick up some tops in a bright Red-Hawk red and show your school pride while acing those exams! 

Don’t forget to finish your look with Juicy Couture’s newest scent I ♥ JUICY COUTURE. The new scent from Juicy is for the glam rebel who declares her passion for life and all things Juicy, so get out there and rock it collegiette’s!

Stay Calm!

The best way to getting an A on your midterms? Take a cue from Kings of Leon and don’t forget to “take some time to waste a moment.” As tempting as it is to study your brains out, if you don’t take a break every now and then, you might do just that. You have to schedule some time to unwind and Freeman Beauty and Andrews McMeel Publishing have just the things to help. 

Pampering yourself if the easiest way to de-stress, so why not indulge your skin in a nice facemask. Freeman Beauty has four new TO DIE FOR face masks that you have to try. Available in Avocado/Oatmeal ClayCucumber Peel-OffCharcoal and Black Sugar Polishing, and Apple Cider Vinegar Foaming Clay, these masks will have you feeling zen in no time!

While that’s working its magic, why not indulge your mind with something else than memorization for that Math exam and pick up some fun reads like Sarah Anderson’s “Adulthood is a Myth” and Becky Simpson’s “The Roommate Book.” Filled with hilariously on-point comics and sound advice, these two are MUST-HAVES during some quality “me-time.”

We hope you love all these products and wish you luck as you ACE those midterms! Go Red Hawks!
