3. Aéropostale’s Denim Collection
It’s very easy to put your fashion sense on the back burner during finals season — trust me, I’ve been there. But with Aéropostale’s comfy and affordable denim collection, it’s never been easier to feel comfortable and look hot at the same time! My personal recommendation? The seriously stretchy jegging line.

If there’s one product I cannot live without during the school year, it’s Bed Head by TIGI’s Dirty Secret Dry Shampoo. A couple quick sprays and a little teasing can earn me an easy extra half hour of sleep after a late-night study session — for a college student, there’s nothing more precious. Check out their other killer products as well, like the Masterpiece Shine and Hard Head Hairspray and the Oh Bee Hive Matte Dry Shampoo.

6. Erin Condren Planners
I don’t know how I would get through life — let alone midterms — without my Erin Condren planner. I’ve used a bunch of different planners through the years, but once I bought my Erin Condren, I have never been able go back. The planners are sturdy, very well-organized and completely customizable. I just ordered a new one and was able to upload all my Instagram pictures to be printed on the cover! The LifePlanner with the notebook rings has always been my go-to, but check out the new Hardbound LifePlanner (hint, hint: there’s a sale).
7. Hi-Chew Candy
