There are many things a college student doesn’t leave their dorm without; keys, phone, wallet, etc. Now that winter is about to hit us head on, there are a few things every college kid should keep on them, or remember to use, at all times.
1. Lip balm
Odds are, your lips are already chapped. Invest in some quality lip balm, not just the expensive egg-shaped ones. Brands like Carmex and Blistex have some quality lip balms that won’t leave your lips dry. You can find a 0.35 oz tube of Carmex at Walmart for just $0.98!
2. Tech gloves
It cannot be stressed
enough how important a good pair of gloves can be in the winter, so do yourself a favor and get some that you can still use your phone with! These black Spyder gloves are $35 on Amazon.
3. Vitamin D supplements
It’s not uncommon for people who experience long winter months to be Vitamin D deficient, so it’s a good idea to take a supplement daily. You can get a bottle of 120 tablets for $4.88 from Walmart.
4. Hand lotion
Everybody hates peeling and dry skin, so make sure you always have some lotion on hand (haha, get it?). One moisturizing and dermatologist recommended product is Neutrogena’s Norwegian Formula hand cream, which can be found at Walgreens for $4.99.
5. Snow boots
You’ll always need good snow boots for trekking across campus to class every day. Lucky for you, the boots pictured are just $19.99 at Target!
6. Hand warmers
This one’s pretty self explanatory. You can either splurge and buy a rechargeable hand warmer for $34.95 from L.L. Bean, or you can buy the $0.99 packets of from Walmart. Either way, they’re good investments.
