I'm a student, and these are the 11 cutest college essentials, from $5
Somehow it's already August, which means that 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. (Believe me, I've been there). I'm here to tell you that I will not let that happen to you this summer! 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.

Bronax Shower Slippers
Who knows what yuckiness is living on that dorm-room-shower floor? These comfortable, adorable shower slippers mean you'll never have to find out. The thick, cushy sole provides lots of support, too. Choose from 22 colors!
Bedroom
Natural Mulberry Silk Pillowcase
Add some luxury to your sleep situation. Silk pillowcases feel cool to the touch and devotees say they're great for waking up with smooth skin and frizz-free hair.
9.8 FT Extension Cord with USB
Many dorm rooms only come with two outlets, so an extension cord is a must. This one is cuter than most, and has three USB ports for phones, powerbanks and more.
Decor
Leclstar 17Ft Photo Clip String Lights
These fairy lights can make a bland dorm room feel dreamy — and they come with clear clips for hanging photos. Genius! They can also be placed in a jar for a fun nightlight.
Sophia's Garden Set of 3 Succulents
Real plants can take a lot of work — and between classes and extracurriculars, time is at a premium. These faux succulents are a great hack for adding pops of green, no watering needed. They're the perfect size for a windowsill.
Kitchen/Food
AstroAI 4-Liter Mini Fridge
Most dorm fridges cost over $100 — this mini marvel rings in at less than half that. Use it for stashing drinks, snacks, even face masks. It comes in six fun colors, some as low as $40 with on-page coupon.
Accessories
Laptop Backpack
This laptop knapsack has it all. Not only is it stylish and comfortable, it contains an external USB port with a built-in charging cable that allows for a more convenient way to juice up your phone. There's also a luggage strap for when it's time to jet off for spring break.
Cosmetic Bag
Organization is key for a successful semester. This water-resistant cutie, great for makeup, pens and more, comes in 12 different patterns. Use it for travel too.
Tech
Apple AirPods Max Wireless Over-Ear Headphones
These popular headphones have Active Noise Cancellation that blocks what's going on around you, so you can immerse yourself in music — or in silence when your roommate is being a little too loud.
Kuulaa Portable Charger
Have you ever seen a charger so chic? Just as handy on the go as it is at home, you'll be able to juice up your phone and laptop even when there's no socket in sight. An on-page coupon makes it yours for just $22.
If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)
