Her Campus Back-to-School Survival Kit

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

Her Campus VCU was thrilled when Her Campus announced they were sending us a Back-to-School Survival Kit stocked with tons of essentials to help us get through the semester. I wasted no time opening the box when it arrived. Here’s what I found. 

So many mysteries! What are all these goodies?

Contents included a water bottle and $10 cash cards from Aeropostale, Cupcake Panties from Affinitas, buy one get one free Chipotle cards, mini LUNA bars, special edition Nasty Gal pins, Blackhead Eliminating Scrub and Nourishing Cleansing Oil samples from Garnier, elastic headbands from sweetgreen, and discounts from Tanda Zap, Clue and European Wax Center. 

We gave out the Survival Kit at our general body meeting last week. The Cupcake Panties were by far the team’s favorite! 

We want to thank all of the amazing sponsors of the Her Campus Back-to-School Survival Kit and we want to thank Her Campus for putting the kits together! HCXO!
