The other day, I was browsing through my Facebook when I saw an ad for the most bizarre thing. A banana hammock! A few more hours of surfing and my e-cart was full of the most interesting things! And so that you don't have to waste time looking for these, I present to you:

1. The Banana Hammock

Extremely beachy vibes, innit? The Banana Hammock is like a hammock, but for bananas. Because bananas are the superior fruit. They deserve a special throne. Need I say more?

If your love for bananas is especially is immensely strong, go for the Plastic Banana Guard as well.

2. Desktop Punching Bag

Are you ever sitting at your desk and suddenly feel the urge to throw your laptop across the room? Same. Unfortunately, we are not all billionaires who can afford to break laptops and smash televisions every time we get angry. Which is why we NEED this desktop punching bag.

3. Clean Dreams Kitchen Sponge Holder

Look! I found Spongebob's bed! Your kitchen sponge also deserves a special throne. As if it isn't already getting enough rest (I know you never wash the dishes).

4. The Experience Tube

Here's the deal.

I love talking. I can go on and on about anything and everything. What I need is people who will listen to me. Because, you know, I can't survive without attention. Which is why this is my favourite product on the list. With the Experience Tube, you can now entrap whoever you want to in your endless chat sessions.

Who doesn't like constant, undivided attention?

5. Bluecrate's Selfie Light

This Selfie Light is to my Instagram feed what corn is to the residents of Illinois: a necessity. It's small, it's easy to use and it works great! No more dull selfies.

Prepare to drown in my selfies, people of Instagram.

6. Egg of Thrones Egg Cup

If your bananas and sponges get thrones, why not eggs? For all you Game of Thrones fans out there, the Egg of Thrones Egg Cup!

7. Airplane Armrest Divider

As if being stuck in a floating metallic tube, thousands of meters up in the sky wasn't enough, I also have some random guy's arm awkwardly brushing against mine while I try to find a comfortable position to sleep in. The Airplane Armrest Divider is the solution! No more silent wars over who gets to keep their arm on the armrest. Now you can peacefully complain about all the other parts of the journey.

Before I knew about these products, I didn't know I needed them! But now I am sure I do! Kudos to all the creative minds of the 21st century!

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.
