College Survival Kit Ideas

Whether you’re heading off or sending off to college, the thing students really need (other than money) is a college survival kit! These are things to make your experience a little easier beyond the obvious stuff.

Think quick snacks both healthy and not-so-healthy:

• Ramen
• popcorn
• favorite candy
• canned tuna/chicken
• canned vegetables and fruits
• nuts
• energy drinks
• quick-cook rice

Gift cards are basically gold:

• Subway
• McDonalds
• Walmart
• Target
• GAS STATIONS (because gas is expensive)
• HEALTH FOOD STORES (because healthy foods can also be expensive).

Must-haves include:

• Ibuprofen/Aspirin
• liquid IV or Pedialyte (for… extra hydration)
• sleep mask
• lint roller
• portable charging pack
• candles
• laundry detergent
• weather-based vehicle gear like carpet squares for icy inclines/windshield visor/ice scraper.
