10 Things To Help You Have a Great Spring Semester

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

After a long winter break, we could all use a little help getting back into a good routine for the spring semester. From bad sleep schedules to spending too much money on takeout, there’s always a little room for improvement. Here are some things that will help you kick off this semester on the right foot.

Essential Oil Diffuser 

This compact essential oil diffuser is perfect for a dorm or small bedroom. Whether you need something to help you fall asleep, get rid of a headache, or boost your mood, essential oils have your back. It’s available in four colors, so you’re sure to find something to match your room perfectly.

White Noise Machine

We could all probably use a little help getting on a better sleep schedule after winter break. Not only will this machine help you fall asleep faster, but it will help you stay asleep by tuning out any other noise that might wake you up.

Insulated Tumbler

Keep your drink hot or cold while on the go with this set that includes a tumbler, two metal straws, and a cleaning brush. Ditch the single-use cups and bring your daily dose of caffeine from home – it’ll save you money too!

Clip-On Reading Light

This reading light is perfect for those late nights when you need to study, but your roommate is sound asleep. No need to worry about waking them up when you need to get in one last chapter before bed.

Thermos

Save some money this semester and start packing a lunch to get you through long days of class. This thermos keeps food hot for five hours or cold for 10 hours. Not only will you save money, but you can have a healthier lunch, too. Who needs dining hall food anyways?

Dry Erase Calendar

This dry erase calendar is perfect for planning out the month ahead of you. Place it over your desk so you’ll never forget that big exam coming up or the shift you picked up at work. With a blank template that can be changed for any month of the year, you’ll be using it for all semesters to come.

Desk Riser

Whether you’re in a dorm or a small college student apartment, we all could use a little extra storage space, especially at our desks. Tuck away your textbooks, notebooks, and other clutter and give yourself more space to sit down and get your work done.

“Friends” To-Do List Notepad

You’ll love writing down your daily notes on this Central Perk notepad. Never again will you get home from class and think, “What was the homework again?”

Alarm Clock

We all dread the first day of class when we finally have to wake up early again. This semester, make it a little bit easier with this sunrise-simulating alarm clock that will help your body adjust and wake up gradually.

Aerie Weekend Joggers

Whether you’re at home studying with your roommates or heading to the library for the night, sometimes you just can’t be bothered to wear anything but sweatpants. These joggers are super soft and cozy, keeping you comfortable all the way through writing that dreaded essay.

The start of a new semester can be a stressful time- just remember to give yourself time to relax and have fun!
