The mophie powerstation plus 6000 can help you stay juiced up with up to two charges for your smartphone. Get it here!

4. A smart plug that lets you control devices from your phone because you don't have time to sit in class worrying about if you left your flat iron on.

The Belkin Wemo Mini Smart Plug lets you schedule and sync when you turn on appliances and is compatible with Alexa and Google Home, so all you have to do is shout to turn off your lights. Get it here!

5. Some solid earphones that power your workouts and study sessions without getting in the way.

And with the BeatsX Earphones, you get two hours of battery life from just five minutes of charging. Get 'em here!

6. Or some totally wireless headphones for a more subtle look.

The sound and voice quality on the Jabra Elite 65t Wireless Earbuds will win you over. Get 'em here!

7. Instead of splurging on a personal trainer at the local gym, just go for a smartwatch that personalizes your workouts for you.

The Fitbit Versa will help you stay active, even when you just feel like binge-watching sitcoms in between classes. Get it here!

8. You're already crazy busy as a college kid, so let a voice-activated home assistant lend you some help, switch up your music, and tell you the weather before you head out.

The Google Home Mini's minimal design and small size tells little of how impressive it really is. And unlike your English major friends, Google Assistant won't judge you when you ask for the definition of "fallacious." Get it here!

9. A super-protective case 'cause when you're cramming for exams, the last thing you want to worry about is a cracked screen.

And you won't have to sacrifice looks when you go for a stylish case like the OtterBox Symmetry Series Case for Samsung Galaxy J3V (3rd Generation). Get it here!

10. Or stay entertained with a glittery waterfall case that will keep you from dozing off during a long lecture.

The Case-Mate Waterfall Case for Galaxy Note9 might be super cute and ultra thin, but don't be fooled: It has military-strength impact protection and will keep your precious smartphone safe. Get it here or at Case-Mates for $40.
