1. Motivational Supplies: College can be tough and sometimes we can get discouraged when things don’t turn out how we want them to. Sometimes, you just need a mood booster to help push you through that hard day/week/month! Motivational supplies like post-it notes, folders, notebooks, pencils, etc. are inexpensive ways to keep you inspired and positive this year.

2. Planner: As the new year begins, who doesn’t want to be organized? To help keep yourself in check and keep track of due dates, appointments, important dates, etc. get yourself a planner! Some people opt for a more detailed, large-scale planner that can track anything and everything in life, down to how many glasses of water you take. Others, however, get a simple planner that just has the months of the year with a note section. Whatever your preference, get yourself organized this year!

3. Homesick Candle: With all of the business that this year will bring, whether it be school or work, sometimes all we want is to be back in the comfort of our own home. Due to the obligations of life, most of us can’t go back home, but that doesn’t mean we can’t experience the feeling of being at home where we are! One thing to definitely buy in 2019 is a Homesick Candle. The Homesick Candle Company has candles dedicated to every state, even some cities, and crafts scents for each state based on what the state is known for. For instance, the New Jersey Candle has notes of candy and the fresh smell of the ocean. These candles can bring you right back home during the stressful days of this year!

4. Water bottle with Markings: During the day, it’s so important to stay hydrated, but it can be difficult to keep up with proper water intake when you’re running around at work or working on school projects. To help with this, a water bottle with hourly markings will keep you on track and ensure that you’re hydrated during the day. These bottles have hourly markers corresponding with the amount of water in ounces that you should drink, keeping you hydrated and feeling great during the day!

5. Amazon Echo/Echo Dot: You’ve seen the commercials, you’ve read the ads, and now you’re reading me write about the amazing Amazon Echo. The Amazon Echo is one of the hottest items to get this year for so many reasons, the biggest being its hands-free nature! You can do just about anything with Alexa, the Echo’s built-in virtual assistant, such as play music, check the weather, create a shopping list, play games, catch the latest news, etc. Who doesn’t want that? An Echo can make your life so much easier when you have the time or ability to use your hands, a need for 2019!

6. Self-Care Items: Just about everyone needs a good spa day every once in awhile (yes, guys included)! With the stresses of school, extracurriculars, work, and social life, sometimes you just need a day to unwind and relax. Spa day essentials are a necessity for this year! Good spa day essentials include bath bombs, face masks, body scrubs and lotions, a fluffy robe, etc.

7. Portable Charger/Charging Port: When we’re out and about, running around and accomplishing our goals this year, it’s easy to forget to charge your phone or let your phone die. One of the best inventions, and a great thing to get this year is a portable charger. All you have to do is charge the charger at home, then remember to bring a charging cable for your phone and you’re ready to go!

8. CrockPot: School and work can occupy most of our time which means that when it comes down to meals, we can get lazy about it. One of the greatest inventions of all time (besides sliced bread) is the crockpot. With the crockpot, you can prepare your meals hours in advance, put them in and cook them slowly for hours! The great thing about this? You can work or study all day and not have to worry about throwing a meal together when it’s dinner time! This can eliminate unhealthy substitutions for meals and make life so much easier for you.

2019 is going to be a great year full of surprises, like securing a new job, mending old relationships, and enjoying life’s adventures. These items will not only make your year a little bit easier, but they’ll also help you enjoy your year to the fullest! As always, good luck!
