Today I’m moving back to Amherst for my last year of school. In honor of that, I decided to share with you a few of my college essentials. These are the items I swear by and use every single day at school! (Seriously, if you ever see me walking around campus I’m carrying the majority of these on me).
The water bottle is probably my favorite thing ever. It’s a great dupe for the Hydro Flask which can be $40. This one works just as well and is less than $15. I’ve taken it to the beach and have had my water stay cold with ice in it all day.
I also use the Tervis’ all the time. You can use them for hot or cold drinks which is perfect for iced coffee the majority of the year and hot coffee for the winter.
Another thing worth mentioning are these sheets. These are just the ones that I use all the time, but what is really important here is to order your sheets in the size full! I always find that on my twin xl bed with a mattress pad that my sheets will pop off a corner every now and then (It also doesn’t help that I’m usually sliding on and off my bed). I decided to buy full sheets and I will never turn back. Now since there’s that extra fabric on the fitted sheet I can tuck them far under the mattress and they never rise up or pop off! Best hack!
I hope you enjoy these college essentials and if you are going back to school, I hope you have an amazing start! As always tag me on instagram (@makeupbykatejane) if you use any of these items so I can repost your photos!
