Trend Hunter’s Armida Ascano brings it back to her school days with this a talk on the college student lifestyle. Being a college student is hard for a multitude of reasons and often students don’t get the love or respect they deserve for the work they put in. These companies know how real the struggle is and as such have made gear just for college students.
Moving out into the world on your own for the first time and being responsible is a big and often underrated task. Parents still don’t quite understand the problems though they may have gone through them themselves when they were young.
Companies understand the importance of the millennial generation and with items like laptops on stationary bikes they pretty much have the college student lifestyle down to a science.
