Technology surrounds us in literally every way possible. From your phone to your Amazon Alexa, tech makes our lives so much easier. That being said, college is the perfect place to try new things, so here are some of my favorite tech items that have helped me cruise through my first semester at Stern:
With Anker’s latest and greatest tech, this power bank sure does the trick for all college students. Its 2-in-1 charging style allows users to take advantage of a 65W wall charger, a handy portable charger, or both! If you ever forget to charge your devices before class, there’s no need to worry anymore with this powerhouse.
Whether you want to play music while doing your homework or set up an alarm for class the next day, the Echo Dot truly does it all.

Not just that, but with one voice command (“Alexa”) , this device is ready to help answer any and all questions you may have. It is truly a blessing for anyone in search of a smart speaker.
The Apples AirPods Pro are a must for any college student. With its lightweight body and noise-cancelling abilities, these serve as the perfect pair of earphones for daily use. Whether you need to listen to a documentary before class or if you need some music while traveling in the subway, these earphones have you covered. These also have the ability to elevate your listening experience altogether with its new transparency mode. AirPods are an absolute must!
Ever wanted to turn on some background music while doing homework? Well, the JBL Flip 4 is just for you. And, don’t be fooled by its small design. This speaker is, in fact, packed with a punch in terms of volume. So, whether you need a pick me up in your dorm or if you want to blast some tunes during an event, this speaker is extremely versatile. Plus, its waterproof too, so go right ahead and take this to a pool and have a great time with this incredible device.
Capture all your dearest memories with the FujiFilm Instax mini camera. This portable device allows anyone to take pictures and print them right on the spot. So, whether you want to create a picture collage for your dorm or take pics with some friends, this camera can help you do just that with one click of a button. This a great way to collect little keepsakes of all your memorable experiences in college.
