Every fall, college students get to return to campus with a clean slate. Everything that happened the previous year is forgotten (unless you did some unspeakably awful shit, then maybe not) and the entire campus gets a do over.
Now, let’s be honest, you haven’t changed one ounce since last year BUT you want to make it look like you’ve at least matured a little. Let your clothes and style say what you’re unable to say — “I might be an immature asshole but I look pretty damn good.”
Here are seven things to purchase before heading back to school that will at least give the appearance you’ve got your head on straight this semester.
