Back To School: The College Student First Aid Kit

Back To School

Back to school time is both a joyous and somber moment for us parents. We all live for summers where our kids can be home, family dinners are together, vacations are a time to rekindle, and so much more. However, when your kids are headed off to college at the end of the summer like mine, it becomes a bit overwhelming…more so for me. Did we pack everything? What did we forget? Who will take care of them when they are sick? And the questions go on and on. But back to school time doesn’t have to be overwhelming and scary thanks to…The College Student First Aid Kit!

The College Student First Aid Kit

This year as my kids head back to school I decided to have both of us make a detailed list of what we need to pack and what we needed to buy. One of the top priorities that I made sure was at the top of the list was a first aid kit in case they get injured or sick while away. I remember when I was in college, yes we did have a school nurse, but she wasn’t on campus 24/7 and I didn’t want to go to her for every little thing. I also have to say, I didn’t realize it then because I thought I was too cool for school, but the one thing I was really missing was a dorm room style first aid kit.

Final Thoughts

I am so thankful for these two kits. They seriously have made a huge impact. My kids even call me every single time they use the kit to say thank you because they knew how much I stressed the importance of having something like this. Instead of heading to the nurse for some ointment and a band-aid my daughter was able to use her kit. She even helped a friend out by using her kit and sent me a text asking if she can send the kit link to her friend so her mom can get her one. This is 100% mom approved in my book. For the amount each individual item costs you really can’t beat this price!
