Are you feeling demotivated and sluggish? Are you unwilling to do even the most basic things (like showering or wear something other than sweatpants)? Is your motto "IDGAF"? Are you a college senior? Buddy, you may have a serious case of senioritis.

We hope you love the products we recommend! Just so you know, BuzzFeed may collect a share of sales or other compensation from the links on this page. Oh, and FYI — prices are accurate and items in stock as of time of publication.

1. A mini three-month planner that'll help you focus on the three most important tasks of the day, even if on some days it's just 1) take a shower 2) make it to class.

2. A sheet of graduation countdown stickers to use in your planner and remind you that you're almost at the finish line!

3. A free planner app you probably should have downloaded as a freshman (but whatever, better late than never) for keeping track of all your classes and assignments. Don't miss a paper because you simply forgot the deadline.

4. A bike-chain fidget toy for keeping your fingers busy when you're feeling restless during an hour-long lecture.

5. An online tool that'll let you make your own flashcards or games to study for upcoming exams. You can also search the website for ready-made study sets!

6. A portable reading stand sturdy enough to handle your heavy-ass textbooks. It'll make researching for your senior thesis less of a pain in the neck.

7. An informative book on the best job-hunting practices so you can get a head start on landing your dream gig.

8. An online class on something you're actually interested in (like cookie decorating or watercolor lettering and illustration) to stimulate your brain if you're feeling bored of your college courses.

9. A motivational shaker bottle that'll encourage you to take advantage of the university fitness center as much as you can. You'll feel more energetic after a workout, which can help get you out of a slump!

10. A highly effective (read: loud AF) vibrating alarm clock because one of the most important factors of being productive is getting up on time.

11. A free productivity app to prevent you from browsing your phone when you're supposed to be studying.

12. A bookmark notepad for keeping track of your progress and thoughts as you read. Otherwise, you might end up reading the same page three times because your attention span is extra short these days.

13. A single-cup coffee maker because a jolt of caffeine might be the answer to finishing those last two pages of your essay.

14. A pair of sleep headphones (nestled in a soft headband that can also double as a sleep mask) to ensure a good night's rest even if your roomie is pulling an all-nighter.

15. And a free sleep sounds app so you can wind down before bed even if you're feeling anxious about the future.

16. A cute floral dress as comfy as sweatpants that'll give you a reason to get dressed and head to class. You might prefer to sleep in, but your dress deserves an audience!

17. A set of squishy mochi cats to squeeze when you're feeling overwhelmed by finals and the prospect of leaving college for the real world.

18. A Chrome extension for catching grammatical errors, spelling mistakes, and improper word usage in emails and essays, so your professor can't tell that you typed them up at 3 a.m.

19. A funny but helpful book on how to get your shizz together if you're feeling seriously demotivated.

20. A mug with some good advice that'll apply at every stage of your life, including right now.

21. A professional-looking blazer (or better yet, a suit) you can wear to job or internship interviews.

22. A booklet of stickers for adults so you can feel good about taking small steps toward becoming a responsible human.

23. A bucket list notebook to document your adventures in the last few months of college, whether it's trying something new or going on a road trip with close friends.

24. A free Chrome extension that'll let you block certain websites like Netflix and Twitter for a set amount of time so you can buckle down and stay on task.

25. A splurge-worthy portable pillow for taking a power nap in the library (or wherever you happen to be in between classes). You can't fight nap attacks so you might as well embrace them. 🤷‍♀️

26. A little black book with all the knowledge you need for post-grad life, including how to find your first apartment and how to understand your paycheck.

27. A box of maple almond butter squeeze packs that'll make a quick and tasty power snack because your lack of energy could literally just be caused by hunger. Remember: your brain needs nourishment!!!

28. A portable steamer so you won't look like you slept in your clothes at your final presentation.

29. A free timer app because study sessions are a lot more manageable when they're broken down into 25-minute chunks.

30. A pretty journal to remind you that you still have a LOT to look forward to after graduation, so don't lose steam — finish college with a bang!

Graduation is nearly here — you can do it!
