HC Back to School Survival Kits

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

At the beginning of every school year, Her Campus sends its chapters Back to School Survival kits filled with awesome swag and freebies.  Going to the mailroom and getting our beautiful brown package with a huge pink survival kit sticker on the side is like Christmas come early.  

And we want to spread the joy! 

That’s right, we want to share FREE stuff with you! As a wonderful and loyal reader you deserve it! Plus it’s midterm season and if there’s ever a time for a pick-me-up, it’s now.  

So what exactly is in our kit this semester?  A lot of stuff.  This year’s theme was #GettingBackGivingBack.  We recieved information about amazing organizations and projects like She’s the First and No Ceilings: The Full Participation Project.  Here are more highlights (and the things we want to share with you) from our kit:  

  • Mini TRESemme products from their Perfectly (un)done line 
  • Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Swivel Sticks (which makes amazing lip balm btw) 
  • NYC New York Color 24hr waterproof eyeshadow crayons 
  • Martha Stewart Craft Supplies 
  • Chipotle buy-one-get-one-free gift cards 
  • Cold-Eeze Losenges 
  • 5-hour energy drinks and earbuds 
  • Chapter Sampler of We Were Liars and Every Day 
  • MZ Wallace Chelsea Tote 

Awesome right?  But how exactly do you get this stuff? We’re planning some cool raffles and giveaway contests so make sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and check daily for posts and updates with more info.
