July: The sun is shining, the days are long, and the last thing anyone wants to think about is an 8 a.m. lecture. And yet, from July 8th to 11th, Prime Day arrives like a ghost of semesters future, giving us a golden opportunity to get ahead of the game. It's the one time you can procrastinate on your summer reading by productively shopping for all the gear you'll need to... well, do your school reading later.
So, for every student who swears this is the year they'll color-code their notes and not write their entire thesis in the 12 hours before it's due, we've got you. We braved the digital crowds and scrolled through endless pages to find the back-to-school essentials actually worth adding to your cart. Consider this your cheat sheet for a semester's worth of success.
