The Ultimate UConn List of Finals Must-Haves

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

We are so grateful for the giveaways we received in our finals survival kit this semester. We learned that there are some true essentials that every UConn woman needs in order to make it through a week full of final exams and projects.

Thank you to our sponsors for the support and motivation we needed to ace our finals!

1.  Snacks- Luna bars and Kettle Popcorn were the perfect midnight snacks during a late-night study session. When we needed a study break for lunch on the go, we used our Chipotle coupons for a great deal and easy meal. 

2.  Medicine- It is always the week finals start that we get that awful cold. Luckily, our sponsors had our back and sent us these Cold-EEZE tablets to combat any cold symptoms.

3.  Travel size hairspray- Let’s face it, we are not spending too much time worrying about our appearance during finals week. In fact, we probably have not looked in a mirror in days… shout out to our sponsor TRESemme for sending us shampoo samples and travel size hairspray for our hectic days on the go!

4.   Water bottle- Coffee and chips are “great” study fuel, however they leave you utterly dehydrated. Staying hydrated is essential to preventing headaches and feeling energized. We raffled of a Camelback water bottle at our last meeting and spotted our winner, Katie Hlywa, carrying it all over campus during finals week!
