6 Eco-Friendly Products to Keep in Your Finals Week Survival Kit

It's coming. The most stressful time of the school year is upon us: finals season. High school and college students across the country are officially swamped with exams, papers, and presentations. Caffeine consumption is at an all-time high. Sleep is at an all-time low. If we're being frank... finals season sucks.

But, it doesn't have to suck too much. There's actually a couple things that we have in mind to help you have a more pleasant and successful finals week. (Besides studying, of course, which we hope you're already doing!)

To make your finals season a little less lousy, here's a list of products to put in your finals survival kit that will push you through those last couple weeks of the semester.

6 Products for Your Finals Survival Kit

3. The Good Chocolate Signature Dark 65%, $8

Chocolate? On a list about finals seasons products? Not as weird as you may think. This dark chocolate by The Good Chocolate is made from a select blend of Central and South African beans and is sugar- and soy-free.

Chocolate has a compound in it called flavonoid that improves blood flow to the brain, which can boost your memory and improve your reaction time. So if you're craving some chocolate, just tell yourself it helps you study better.

4. Vertly Soothing Floral Soak Bath Salts, $55

After a long day of chugging coffee and hitting the books, sometimes you need a little help with winding down.

Just sprinkle 2 to 3 scoops into a hot bath, and let your soul be soothed.

5. ONE432 Upcycled Unisex Hoodie 33, $88

If you're a student attending college (or any school, for that matter), chances are the library feels like a chilly winter storm year-round. Keeping a trusty hoodie in your bag will definitely help when it feels too cold to focus.

This ultra comfy unisex hoodie by ONE432 is handcrafted by artisans in Pakistan and made from an upcycled cotton blend fleece, so you can feel warm and good about where your hoodie came from while you're writing that final paper.
