Finals Survival Kit

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

It is officially the dreaded “dead week.” We all know that can only mean one thing… finals (YIKES!) Thankfully the Her Campus national team sent us some wonderful goodies to get us through it. HCScranton was sent not one, but TWO boxes of fun treats in their “Finals Survival Kit.”

Finals are a time when snacks are always welcome and colds, which are ready to attack are not. While you’re in the library working on that presentation or studying, snacks are a definite must! Staying healthy is just as important and HC has the solution to both!

Luna’s Chocolate Peppermint Stick bar tastes like Christmas. Think Starbucks’ Peppermint Brownie cake pop with half the calories. These bars are delish and perfect for a late night snack! Every sweet treat needs a salty companion, try Kettle Brand’s Hey Neighbor Kits. Not sure what flavors you’ll like? Try the 3-pack sets including their new Maple Bacon Popcorn, Krinkle Cut Salt & Fresh Ground Pepper and Backyard Barbeque.

To help fight off those nasty colds try Cold-EEZE Cold Remedy. Let’s face it no one wants to be that girl coughing on the fifth floor of the lib.

We all know we aren’t getting the sleep we need and our bodies start to get run down. The best way to conquer the possibility of getting sick is to drink as much water as possible. Hydration is key! CamelBak supplied us with a Pink Eddy water bottle, it’s super cute and it’s good for the environment! Be on the look out for a contest where you could win this awesome bottle!

During all of this studying, writing and stressing staying positive can be difficult. But thanks to Bayer and their Timeline Project Zines motivation is never far. With the Timeline Project Bayer wants you to think about your future. They believe you should “dream it, visualize it, and ultimately realize it.” Don’t let your goals drift away instead flip through these booklets for some motivation!

During finals week your hair can take a toll, messy buns we see you in our future. Instead of trying to remember if you brushed your hair let TRESemmé help. Try their hairsprays and Keratin Smooth Sample Sets. Bye bye buns hello runway ready hair!

HC sent us Chiptole BOGO cards; so when you get home you and your bestie can celebrate over a burrito bowl! The best part is one is compliments of Her Campus. Score! The only thing better than Chipotle is FREE Chipotle.

As college kids gift cards and promo codes are definitely our friends. Thanks to Chain & Charcoal, BaubleBar and Cosabella your holiday shopping bill just came down a little! A big thank you to the Her Campus national team and all of these amazing brands!
