Products every college student needs

School is officially back in session. Now that syllabus week is out of the way, student life is getting hectic. Between classwork and extracurricular activities,  the last thing we want to do is make our lives harder. Check out some of these products that will help you embrace your laziness in the most efficient way.

A 10-foot phone charger

Attempting to reach your phone cord from the outlet to your bed is a thing of the past. If you are sick of struggling with your phone while it’s plugged in, you should add this cord to your shopping list. These cords are sold online and in most stores for a low cost. Not only are these phone chargers great for using in your dorm, they are ideal for other areas of campus as well.

A bed tray

No nightstand? No problem. While it may be difficult to find the space for a nightstand in your dorm, bedside trays conveniently clip onto the edge of the bed. These trays are useful for holding your water or food when you are snacking, or for other items that you want to keep close.

Portable charger

A full day of classes can leave your phone battery low. To avoid a dead phone halfway through the day, keep a portable phone charger in your backpack. Not only will you be able to avoid searching for an open outlet in the UC, you will also be able to charge your phone anywhere you go.

Power strip

While this seems like a no-brainer, power strips are super important and often overlooked. These can triple the amount of items you can have plugged in at a time, which is helpful when your roommate is also using the same outlet. There are many different kinds available for low prices, so you can find the one that works best for your technology needs.

Laptop table

If you find yourself working on assignments, scrolling through Twitter, and watching Netflix on your laptop in bed, a laptop table is essential. In addition to helping the ventilation of the computer, the laptop is raised up a little higher than normal so that you do not have to strain your neck by looking down at the screen. It’s a win-win situation and a must-have for college students.
