Back to School / Campus Essentials Coeds REALLY Want this Fall

Make your back to school, back to college coed extra happy this fall!

Oh! It's that time of year and if you are in college, more than likely already in the dorm. In fact it's Move In Week now at most universities. So if you are on campus or know someone who is, what would make them feel more at home?

As a Rutgers alumna, I can still remember those special "Care Packages" my parents put together for me. Those comforts from home, made all the difference transitioning into dormitory living. In fact, I'm back on campus again this fall. Among other endeavors, I have volunteered to help out with the college's alumni publication, 1766 Magazine. RU Rah RAH (deja vu)!

So here are my top suggestions for yourself or that special coed in your life.

Fjallraven Kanken Backpack, Apple iPad with stylus and Pamu Slide Earphones

Fjallraven Kanken Backpack is the IT bag this year on nearly every campus. Super lightweight yet rugged, it offers plenty of storage with a tablet compartment in the rear. 

6th Gen iPad 32 GB in Space Grey with Stylus is pretty much a necessity for every student these days. Sleek and elegant but ready to rock.

PaMu Slide Wireless Earphones offer amazing sound quality, resonant bass and actually stay in your ears. Bluetooth pairing is almost instant and the case doubles as a wireless phone recharger.

Back to Campus Clean and Green Laundry Tips

Laundry Day on Campus can be clean AND green!

I was so spoiled! Either Nanny or my mother took care of my laundry even all the way through High School. When I arrived on campus at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, I was clueless on how to do my wash. 

New on campus, Riders by Lee are wrinkle resistant so no ironing!

I can remember the huge front loading washing machines in the dorm basement which were similar to those in my aunt's laundry room. After that it was all Greek to me. Sorting colors, temperature and fabric settings all were hit and miss the first month or so. Ironing was another issue so I'd highly recommend investing in some Riders by Lee Casual Slacks pictured above. On the Go comfort and breathable, these are wash and wear ready. 
At the very least, make sure your freshman leaves with these few tips on how to wash their clothes while keeping it totally clean, green and natural. They will thank you for it.
