Laptops
I really love this laptop for its ability to be good at almost anything I need. The 16 inch screen is great for college research, as it helps with straining, and overall, this has lasted me through college with no problems!
Macbook Pro 2020
A favorite among engineering majors. Reliable, easy to use, and recommended by most colleges as a great option!
Razer Laptop
I recently got this, and it has been a game changer! No more sore eyes, better movie watching experience, and it doubles both as a school computer and a gaming monitor!
Acer EB321HQ Awi 32" Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS ...
Consoles
I use my Xbox for everything. Movies, Netflix, games, music, literally whatever I'm feeling like. This is a great option for its versatility and reliability.
Xbox Series X
If you're not an Xbox lover (my boyfriend, and honestly most men) then the PS5 is a good option. I'll be honest, the graphics are phenomenal - better than I've seen on any other console.
PlayStation: Play Has No Limits: PS5
Music
These are GREAT for everything in college! They work well for parties, kickbacks, listening to music while studying, or really anything. The sound quality is the best of any speaker I've ever had, and it's been a staple in my apartment for years!
Waterproof Bluetooth Speakers
Great for music and working out. I've had my Beats for 6 years now, and they still sound great!
Beats Headphones
Great for walking to class, working out and super small and compact to save space in your bag! I love these, and their sound quality and noise cancelling is great!
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) Wireless Earbuds
These have been all the rage, and I completely get it. The comfort and sound is amazing. They are perfectly fit to your head, and they even come with a little case so they don't get scuffed!
Apple AirPods Max Wireless Over-Ear Headphones
For daily reminders, wake up alarms, recipes, and anything else, this was such a huge help for me my freshman year of college! It also plays music too, just like a bluetooth speaker!
Echo Dot
Smart Watches
Great for walking around campus, tracking workouts, or answering a quick text. I love my Apple Watch because its comfortable, easy to wear, and it helps me be able to see notifications without pulling out my phone! I prefer to use these at work, as s...
Apple Watch Series 8
For something smaller, and more workout oriented. If you don't need all the bells and whistles of an Apple Watch (totally understandable) then this is the best option. Tracks your workouts, heart rate, calorie burn, and sleep.
Amazon.com: Fitbit Charge 5 Advanced Health & ...
Other
For keeping track for your keys, wallet, backpack, and anything else you could need. These are great, portable, and reliable! (For another option, Tile is a great item to look into!)
Apple AirTag : Electronics
For the times when you only have your phone, this is my personal favorite way to print photos! Great quality, and you can edit and adjust the photo in the Instax app before printing!
Instax Printer
For the times when you do have your camera, this is a great and affordable option for polaroids. I love the colors and my polaroid has been such a reliable staple for birthdays, holidays, and so much more!
Instax Camera
This has been one of the best purchases ever. For stressed shoulders, or after a long workout, this helps with everything! I love it so much, and it lives up to any expectations you could have.
Theragun Prime - Electric Handheld Massage ...
For the perfect atmosphere, for winding down at night, or for the not sun-facing apartment dwellers (me). Small, reliable, and easy to use. Do I need to say more?
Sunset Lamp
Best gaming headset anywhere. Period.
