Store your leftovers so you have something to snack on in class the next day. 

4. BYLLAN laptop support

Working from bed can feel like a dream come true with this laptop support to keep you comfortable.

5. FROST drying rack

Living in a dorm or an apartment without an in-suite laundry? Save yourself money and countless trips to the laundry to check if your clothes are done and air dry them in your dorm instead.
