1. Fine Point Gel Pens

Hands down the best and CUTEST gel pens on Amazon. They are equivalent to the G2 pens (IYKYK). These pens have a smooth writing grip making them comfortable to hold. They are so aesthetic and write amazingly! Truly a great Amazon find.

2. Laptop Tote Bag

You’ll never catch me walking around campus without my laptop bag. This gorgeous beige tote bag is perfect for lugging around your books, laptop, iPad, water bottle, and other personal items. This bag is so chic and professional and goes great with any outfit!

3. Water Bottle with Two Lids

Every college student needs an amazing water bottle and this one is definitely the best Amazon find. I have a handful of water bottles but none of them beat this one! I love that it comes with two different lids and keeps my water cold for those really long days at school.

4. Academic Planner

My absolute favorite academic planner with a weekly layout, monthly notes, and a to-do list for each day. It’s compact enough to slip into my tote bag and keeps my life and school assignments organized. This planner is an Amazon find you definitely need!

5. Matte Black Nespresso Machine

I HIGHLY recommend investing in a good coffee machine like this matte black one. I cannot function and study without caffeine and you can’t go wrong with Nespresso. There’s no easier way to make a single cup of coffee or espresso and I love that the pods are recyclable!

6. Aesthetic Highlighters

These are the most beautiful highlighters you’ll ever own! The pastel colors are perfect for highlighting your study guide or planner, and I love that they don’t bleed through the page. Highlighters are one of my grad school necessities and an amazing Amazon find!

7. Blue Light Blocking Glasses

There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t wear my blue light blocking glasses! Whenever I’m on my computer for a long time, my eyes start to hurt and I get a headache. These glasses are great at preventing that and wearing them before bed will also help with producing optimal melatonin levels!
