Whether you're starting out a new semester, returning to work or just need some "me time," taking a nice, relaxing bath is the best way to decompress after a long day. Use these bath essentials to make the end of your day the best part!

1. Suction Cup

This neat plastic contraption covers the overflow drain in your bathtub, which means you can finally feel like you're in a relaxing soaker rather than a half-filled kitchen sink. Just place the suction cup over the drain and viola! Bath time is on!

2. Bath Bombs


First it was bath pearls, then it was bath salts, now it's bath bombs. Rather than spending ten dollars a pop on those "fancy" bath bombs from Lush, hit up your favorite online shops like Amazon and Etsy to get more fizz for your buck.

3. Wine

Wine + bath = relaxed. Really relaxed. Just remember to get out of the tub before you take your mid-wine nap.

4. Candles

Who doesn't feel relaxed when they walk into an over priced boutique? Harness the essence of Anthropologie with this favorite hipster candle and slip away into your bohemian dreams with hints of tropical fruits and sugared citrus.

5. Bath Pillow

The wall on the bathtub is hard and unsupportive. Grab this bath pillow and get comfortable for a long, relaxing bath that you won't want to leave.

6. Face Mask

Bath time isn't complete if you don't treat yo'self! Make sure you enhance your spa experience with a face mask that will wash away all the troubles of adulting once and for all.

7. Waterproof Speakers

No spa day is complete without the soothing voice of Michael Buble or nature sounds. Whether you like to pretend you're in the jazz age or a yoga class while you rinse the day away, make sure you do it in style with waterproof speakers rather than that red party cup you should have thrown away after beer pong was over Saturday night.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
