Exam season might just be the death of all of us. While it might be tempting to spend your entire paycheque(s) in the world of online shopping during one of your procrastination breaks in the library,  it might be to your detriment when you can’t even afford an Uber if you’re running late to your exam. Here are six adorable little pick me ups, all under $30, that will make studying for 18 hours a day a little more bearable.

 

1.  These Ryan Gosling Socks

“Hey girl, don’t worry, you got this” – Ryan to you (after you accidentally spend an entire day watching Netflix instead of studying for you Friday exam)

2.  A Cookies & Cream Frappuccino

Instead of choking back another black coffee, treat yourself with this frappe, that tastes like a milkshake and has enough coffee in it to get you through the rest of your study session. Remember … calories don’t count when you’re in the library.

3.  This Pretty Bralette

Sometimes the library can feel like a jail, the last thing you need is for your boobs to be locked up too. Girl to girl we can all relate to being distracted by your underwire digging into your skin, and your double extra padded push up bra practically suffocating yourself. Slip on one of these cute – but supportive, bralettes so you have one less thing to focus on.

4.  An Emergency Kit

Sh*t happens… especially during exam season. Unfortunately, its not socially acceptable to lug a suitcase full of things that you might need in case of emergency into the library. This cute little pouch eliminates the problem. It includes: pain reliever, elastics, breath freshener (in case you run into bae), deodorant towelette, earring backs, lip balm, a tampon and so much more!

5.  These Calming Wallpapers

Sometimes all you need for a little pick me up is a change in scenery… which is hard to come by when you’ve been locked in the library all day. These computer wallpapers are the perfect small change that you need, with their bright prints and pretty sceneries reminding you that there is life outside of the library walls.

6.  These Gorgeous Necklaces

We’ve all been there, the only thing you’ve focused on for days is your upcoming Calculus exam… when your roommate calls you out for wearing the same shirt three days in a row. Throw on one of these statement (but small!) necklaces to make it appear that you’ve been putting some effort into your look, and draw attention away from your outfit – repeating.
