I'm a student, and these are the 13 cutest college essentials, from $5
Classes are soon to be back in session. For most college students — I'm one of them — moving into dorms and new apartments can mean spending (crazy amounts of) time and money on boring essentials that usually come in the same three colors. Time to shake things up! Amazon has tons of back-to-school deals that are not only efficient but, more importantly, super cute. Bring some life and fun to your home away from home with my favorite college supplies — all with a massive price slash just for you.
