There are two types of college students. The first type will continue to go out to the frats and bars no matter what type of weather is falling from the sky or how low the temperature goes. The second type refuses to leave his or her bed unless it is above a toasty 40 degrees. (Full disclosure, I am the second type.)
If you happen to fall into the later, I strongly suggest you make the most of your sleepy, bar-free nights with the following:
1. Flannel sheets to keep you toasty from head to toe.
You can find these adorable, twin XL lifesavers on Amazon for the worth every penny price of $42.15.
2. Cushion-y headphones that will block out those rowdy hooligans from the bar.
From personal experience I can say that my wireless Beats block out seriously ~eVeRyTHiNG~ when I choose to stay in. And I promise that they're comfy enough to doze off in, unlike chunky headphones. Oh, and you can use them for working out too, so consider the $199 well spent. Find them here.
3. A heated blanket that feels like you're cuddling without the extra sweat or losing precious bed space.
This is an item you'll buy and then wonder how you ever lived without. If you love to cuddle but hate sharing the bed (especially when some smelly, drunk frat boy sweats on you), toss this overly fluffy blanket on instead and let it warm you to your heart's content. But just so you're warned, this will make it extremely difficult to get up in the morning. Buy one for $60 here.
4. A good pair of silk pajamas, because TREAT YO 'SELF.
Because why would you put on jeans and go out when you can put on silk and go to bed? Even if you're chilling in your dorm, these will make you feel like you're living in ~LuXuRy~. Get them from Victoria's Secret for $74.99.
5. A pillow that will prop up your iPad so you don't have to strain your neck.
How can you Netflix and chill properly with the inconvenience of positioning your iPad or tablet just right on a pillow and praying it doesn't slip? Stop that. Get this pillow for $10 and save yourself the hassle of ever having to do that ever again.
6. Some fake candles to relax in complete bliss without violating any housing policies.
While these don't emit a sweet scent, they are 100% realistic and make you feel like you are at home in a blaze of candlelight. And you won't have to worry about falling asleep with open flames, because these babies are ~fLaMeLesS~. Snag 'em for $39.99 here.
7. An eye mask to make your bedroom as dark as your soul.
Block out all that pesky light and keep your sleep undisturbed with a cushion-y sleep mask that will help your snoozes stay snoozed. Find it here for $18.99.
8. A luxurious body spray that will help induce sleep and keep things smellin' ~fReSh~.
Spray this on your pillows (okay, and on yourself) to surround yourself in the sleepy aroma of lavender. It'll help you stay sweet as a rose... even if you've been wearing the same sweatpants for two days and haven't left your bed. For $15 bucks it's yours, here.
9. A monogrammed robe that will extend the warmth of your blankets if you ever get up from bed.
If you do ever take the plunge and pluck yourself from your covers, throw on this waffle-weaved blanket with sleeves to keep yourself toasty and monogram it so everyone knows that it belongs to ~YoU~. Get it for $39.99 at Marley Lilly.
10. Pretty copper lights that will look chic and provide the perfect lighting.
Upgrade from your bargain bin Christmas lights to some more dainty copper lighting instead. It'll look better and provide the perfect Snapchat selfie lighting. Trust me, I'm a professional selfie-er. Get yours for $25 from Dormify.
11. Speaking of lighting, make your entire room look like the night sky.
Feel like a little kid again with a starry assortment of twinkling lights that will make you never want to leave your room. Who needs to go out when you have your own lights, am I right? I am. So buy yours for a well invested $15.99 from here.
12. Maintain good posture with a ~FaNcY~ prop pillow.
Don't let your nights in give you a sore back. Prop yourself up with this comfy pillow that will make binge-watching and blogging a breeze, $139 well spent from Amazon.
13. Get a giant bowl for all your snacks in one place to minimize trips to the fridge.
Stop wasting precious time that could be spent sleeping by having to get up for snacks. This bowl is roomy enough to hold it all and conveniently holds two clip on bowls for dips. Yeah, we know you'll want guac with that. Order one for $18.99 here.
14. And I mean you might as well order a giant glass to go along with those snacks.
This one in particular holds a full bottle of, uh, sparkling grape juice. It's only $10, wink wink.
15. If you need a recommendation on snacks, I would highly recommend this ~GoUrMeT~ hot cocoa.
You'll never touch Swiss Miss again once you get your tastebuds on this stuff. And since you know you're not going to accidentally end up eating pizza at 3 a.m., you might as well indulge. $15.99 from only the best, Williams & Sonoma.
16. A cheeky pillow to let everyone know what's good.
Let it do the talking for you so you can get back to more important things... like sleeping. Get it for $39 from Dormify.
17. A good pair of slippers that you can even low-key wear to class when you're not feelin' a fleek outfit.
I'm all for looking fashionable, but sometimes you need some footwear that can do double duty for lazy nights in and for late nights in the library. And because they're from L.L. Bean, they come with a lifetime warranty for only $69. You're welcome.
18. And in case the pillow wasn't enough, remind your roommates to not disturb with this somewhat adorable but mostly aggressive rug.
It's cuter coming from a cat than you. Available for $19.99 on Amazon.
