Everyone knows the arrival of school each fall brings a multitude of emotions ranging from excitement to dread. Some of you are elated to be reunited with your friends, others cannot wait to start their classes, and a few of you are wishing summer lasted for eternity. Regardless of where you are on the spectrum, here are a few items that ensure a seamless transition into the school year.

The Roomate Book: Whether you are living with your best friend or a complete stranger this year, The Roomate Book is applicable to everyone. It offers hilarious tips and recommendations on topics such as “Creating Nicknames” and “Should I eat this without asking?”

Freeman Beauty Feeling Beautiful Charcoal & Black Sugar Polishing Mask: This mask plays double duty with the naturally purifying activated charcoal absorbing oil and impurities and the black sugar exfoliating away dull skin cells for softness and clarity, leaving your face absolutely fabulous.  

Wearsafe Adventure Box: Wearsafe is a personal safety button that instantly connects you to the people who know and love you the most, giving them your location and valuable context about what’s occurring, courtesy of a continuous audio stream.

Adulthood is a Myth: Becoming an adult and entering the ‘real’ world can be difficult at times; this comic book discusses, in a satirical fashion, anything and everything that can/will happen once you’re a ‘true adult’ including navigating dating and relationships and struggling with body image.

MONISTAT Complete Care Instant Itch Relief Cream: MONISTAT helps you deal with the intimate health issue of yeast infections. Even today most young women don’t know how to treat a yeast infection, so this cream is an easy and quick remedy.

CamelBak Forge Divide Mug: With a drinking valve that both opens and seals shut with the press of a button, the Forge Divide is an all-terrain mug that makes it easy to drink one-handed. Most importantly, the leak-proof cap means you can toss it into your tote without soaking any of your homework, books, and study materials.

L’eggs Sheer Energy Sheer Panty Medium Support: Black sheer panties provide the perfect balance between sheer and light opaque coverage and are perfect for any occasion whether that’s giving a presentation in class or going out to dinner with your friends. 

Rimmel London 24HR Supercurler Mascara: Combining both volume and lash curling power in one wand, this mascara promises a twenty-four hour curl and hold an instant ninety-degree curve.

Flying Colors Apparel Koozie: Flying Colors Apparel is known for feminine, fashionable, and fun collegiate clothing designs. Alums, students, parents, and fans can all support their college and love of collegiate spirit.
