For my college students, undergrads or grads, this list will make those study sessions just a bit better. As a graduate student myself and have already done 4 years of engineering school, these are my top recommendations.

Tech ⌨️🖥️
Technology must haves for back to school. Laptops, iPads and headphones to keep you going and studying in school.
Best way to take notes and it makes it so easy to download PowerPoints.
iPad Air
Connect to your phone, iPad or tablet to watch lectures, listen to music or talk on the phone. Love mine.
AirPods
When you need to listen to your surroundings. Whether that is a run or your half studying on your own half with a group of people.
OpenRun Pro 2 Bone Conduction Headphones for Premium Sound
Perfect computer for most students and has a touchscreen - I love mine.
Meet the Surface Laptop – An ultralight AI touchscreen laptop
Love these headphones to cancel out all noise. They are very comfortable for long periods of time.
Sony WH-1000XM5 Premium Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones | Black
Clothes 🧥
Study in Comfort
Perfect to lounge with an oversized fit - it is warm but not too warm and not just bulky enough that you can still carry it around with you
Accolade Hoodie - Black
Best leggings to lounge in while studying. Wash them inside out and dry on a drying rack for the best outcome. Have had pairs for over 8 years and they are still good!
Women's Align Leggings
Perfect sweatsuit for ultimate comfort. Wash inside oout and dry on a drying rack for best results. Big pockets which we never get in women's clothing lol.
Accolade Sweatpant - Black
Beauty and Skincare 💄
Self care is always important but even more important when you’re stressed out.
Suncreen for the day to day - does not feel stick and since it is clear you can put your make-up over top of it.
Unseen Sunscreen SPF 50
For some sparkly but still being protected from the sun. This is great if you just want something light and fun.
Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40 - Tinted Sunscreen & Primer
Perfect to sleep in. We know stress from school sometimes breaks us out. These patches help with that very much!
Mighty Patches: Original, Invisible and Face
Perfect moisturizer for the day to day good for sensitive skin and you can also buy a multi-pack at Costco!
Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Skin Care
Smells so good and feels great on your lips. I have multiple tubes for different bags and at my work desk.
Lip Butter Balm, Vanilla
Other Necessities
Other things that have made my undergraduate and graduate student life slightly better.
I take this everywhere, love this water bottle so much. Keeps things cold for the entire day and makes it easy to drink water.
FreeSip® Water Bottle
We all do it - doing homework in bed. This stand has lasted me over a year and has holes in the bottom for cooling purposes. It is height adjustable and works really well.
Mind Reader Lap Desk Laptop Stand, Bamboo
Caffeine is a necessity for late-night study sessions. Getting a nespresso machine was game changing, love making my own iced coffees.
