My Favorite College Products:

1. Pop-Wallet:

Buy from Amazon

If you’re going to buy anything for college, make it be a pop-wallet!! I have this one and use it every. single. day. It’s the perfect place to put your student ID and other important cards. I am able to fit up to four cards in mine and it’s super secure.

It’s a life-saver in college and has saved me from getting locked out of my dorm countless times, haha!

2. Twin-XL 4-Inch Mattress Topper:

Buy from Amazon

If you’re going to college, you need a mattress pad! I promise it will make your bed so much cozier!! I recently got a 4-inch topper just like this one and I swear it’s the best! Make sure to buy this mattress topper in a size twin xl to fit most dorm room beds.

3. Amazon Prime:

Amazon is so helpful in college because it’s super convenient and will make not having a car on campus a lot easier! I literally use Amazon Prime ALL of the time and love it! I hate paying for shipping and love getting things quickly which is why Prime is the best!

As a student, you can get free Amazon Prime for 6 months (which is so cool!)

4. Air-pods:

Buy from Amazon

It’s nice to have AirPods in college so that you can be on your phone and/or listen to music without disrupting your roommates. I use my AirPods literally every day and they are the best!

5. Bed Rest Pillow:

Buy from Amazon

I recently got a fuzzy Ugg Bed Rest Pillow from Bed Bath and Beyond for my birthday and it’s the best! It makes sitting in your bed to read and do work so much more comfortable! I linked a similar one from Amazon above.

My Favorite Student Products:

1. Planner!!

Buy from Amazon

I love planners and could literally spend all day shopping for the perfect one (it’s so bad my friends never want to go planner shopping with me lol)

This semester I am using the 5″ x 8″ Day Designer by Blue Sky and love it! It’s actually the best planner I’ve used so far. I am using the daily/monthly layout so it includes a page for every day of the week. If you’re looking for a planner that will allow you to time-block and really schedule out your day, this is it!

2. Water Bottle:

Buy from Amazon

Bringing a good water bottle to school and staying hydrated is super important! I LOVE water and think having a bottle that you love makes drinking water a lot easier and more fun.

I definitely recommend either a Super Sparrow bottle or a Hydroflask. Both of these bottles will keep your drink cold or hot for hours and come in a ton of super cute colors!

3. ASUS Laptop:

Buy from Amazon

I got this laptop for college and love it! It’s amazing and perfect for college students. My favorite thing about it is that it’s really lightweight which makes it a lot easier to carry around campus.

4. Zebra Mildliner Markers:

Buy from Amazon

These markers are so cool because one side is more like a marker and the other is a highlighter. I use them to highlight my notes and just to doodle in my planner. The colors are also really pretty!

5. Colored Pens:

Buy from Amazon

I love colored pens almost as much as I love planners! These are my favorite because they write really nicely and don’t bleed through paper so they are perfect for writing in your planner!

My Favorite Beauty Products:

1. Conair Straightener:

Buy from Amazon

This is the BEST straightener ever. I got this straightener in middle school and still use it today! The one above is a limited-edition rose gold (same brand and model) of the one that I have. It’s gorgeous and works super well!

About Me

I'm glad you're here!

My name is Emily and I started Positivity is Pretty six years ago when I was in college. Back then, it was the place for all things college, roommates, and dorm decor. Since then, it has grown with me into a space to reflect on life’s messy, busy, and beautiful parts while practicing real, intentional positivity. While you’ll still find pieces of college life and other popular content here, my hope is to use this space to write about apartment life, relationships, making friends in your 20s, healthy habits, and finding ways to enjoy movement. My goal is that Positivity is Pretty helps you notice the good and find calm through life’s ups and downs.
