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

School is daunting enough, let alone without the essentials. This Her Campus School Survival Kit is filled with things that you can use to succeed this year! So here is the rundown of the 11 not-so-strange items with the help of the Netflix Original, Stranger Things! (links in pink)

  1. CamelBak – Forge Divide Mug

Not only is this mug handy to carry copious amounts of coffee/tea to class, it is also super sturdy! If you knock it off your desk in the middle of class, no need to be embarrassed anymore! Your beverage will stay nice and toasty inside and with a mug as cute as this, what is there to be embarrassed about?
