For yourself
Don’t forget the little things that keep you happy, healthy, and confident. Self-care items, fun accessories, and treats that make college life feel a bit more like your life are all included here.
If there's anything you need to be in college, it's that you have to smell really good. Not only it makes people have a better impression on you, smelling something good will uplift your mood every time.

September rains are… such a good memory. I can remember the downpour one day and an umbrella saved me from being stuck in the building unlike the others. It's good to always have one in your bag.

It's not good to study all the time. Your brain needs a break some times. There's so many games you can play with a steam deck, you can even connect it to the monitor and you can even use it as a PC for emergency school work too.

This is a portable fan, powerbank and flashlight. All 3 important things in one product! What a smart idea.

For the dorms
These are the items that make your dorm feel like home. Think cozy bedding, clever storage solutions, and small comforts that turn a tiny room into a space you actually want to spend time in.
Having a cozy bedding make me actually look forward to crawling into bed after classes. It also bring small joys in your life.

Let me list down what you'll gain from having this ottoman: a step on to reach your bed, a foot rest, an extra seat when people come over, and extra storage, it even has an bonus pocket! ✨✨

Always use this when going to the bathroom. Keeps you from slipping and also from any fungal thingies that may be on the bathroom floors. (Plantar warts are totally contagious).
Shower Slippers
You already saw this a handful of times, but yes, water filter pitcher is a must. Better be safe. Especially if you are in a new state/city. You need to be acclimated with everything.

A laundry bag is definitely a must. It has straps to hang it behind the door, has drawstring to limit the smell coming from the clothes, very large capacity, has a front pocket to put your detergent, and most importantly: it has shoulder straps to ca...
Laundry Bag
Feels like it's designed for college tbh. This extension cord is long, has 10 outlets and 4 USB ports, has surge protector because we don't want to cause any fires in the campus and the cord is looong.

There will be times when you'll be lazy to go to the cafeteria to eat and sometimes you would just want a quick cheap meal like ramen noodles, soup or a plain sandwich. Having this electric cooker is convenient and helpful to help you survive your co...
