While these headphones may be pricey, they’re absolutely worth it! All that annoying background noise and people talking gets blocked out by these headphones. They’re also very comfortable for over the ear headphones!

My iPad screen gets so dirty, but getting this screen protector changed everything. My screen is so much cleaner naturally, without having to wipe it off often.

Some college classes require that you have number two pencils for exams. I love these BIC number two mechanical pencils, they have great erasers and the lead is usually pretty strong and doesn’t break easily.
