University Life x Thermos
There’s so much to Uni life with students carving their own path and juggling their desire for new journeys and discoveries coupled with their need for stability by saving for a rainy day.
Student life
For students who have moved away for university, one of the hardest changes is learning how to budget for food. University life can be very expensive and many students struggle to make healthy meals everyday. This is when a Thermos food flask can be your saviour throughout your uni days.
Making food and drinks before going to lectures
Are you someone who usually buys a boring meal deal from your local supermarket for your lunch? Getting tired of the same non nutritious lunches? When you have back-to-back lectures, it's easy to opt for the convenient unhealthy lunch options. With a Thermos Food Flask, such as The Icon 710ml, you can enjoy your favourite homemade meals wherever you are.
Instead of spending +£4 at a coffee shop everyday, take your favourite hot drink into university from home. Our Stainless King Travel Mug will keep your drinks hot for up to 7 hours.
Late-night study sessions
As a student, you will often find yourself staying up late doing long hours of writing essays or studying. To help power you through these long nights you can enjoy your favourite beverage all night long.
For the iced coffee lovers, we would recommend our new Icon Cold Cup with straw. It keeps your drinks cold for 24 hours whilst looking stylish. For the hot drink lovers we would recommend our new Icon Travel Mug to keep you energised all night. It keeps your drinks hot for 7 hours… perfect for long nights.
University bucket list
A new term brings fresh adventures with many students now creating their own university bucket list. These lists usually include some of the following popular ideas:
Go on a day trip. When you're in a university bubble, it's easy to forget that there's a whole world around you. And if your university city is nowhere near where you lived before, there are some great opportunities to see new places that are right on your doorstep. Whether you go to the beach, the countryside, or other local points of interest, getting away from your daily routine and taking a break from uni life is essential… and great fun.
Supporting a Uni sports team. This is a great way to get out with your mates and cheer on your team. It is also a good way to meet people from other universities. To stay warm and cosy this Autumn/ Winter whilst shouting those words of encouragement from the touchline, we recommend our Stainless King tumbler for your hot drinks.
Cook a house Christmas dinner. Even if you never eat together at any other time, make sure you take the time to sit down and eat a meal with your housemates. It's the perfect way to hang out with everybody before you all head back home for Christmas. Get the tunes on and either give each person a task or just let the best cook take charge! Oh, and don’t forget the crackers and Christmas playlist!
Go to a music festival. Your student years are the best time to embrace the wellies, mud and chaos of a music festival. While festivals are far from cheap, it's a great way to see many of your favourite artists. Oh, and don’t forget your Revival Flask for the big gig! Students of today have a love for the past which is most prevalent in their music and fashion preferences, with 90s music one of their favourite genres. Interestingly, many of the coveted trends we see students bringing back are from before they were born as they crave heritage and authentic brands.
Run. Whether it's a 5k, a half-marathon or a Tough Mudder, grab your trainers and start making tracks. Even if you're a terrible runner, you'll probably be surprised at what you can actually achieve if you're determined. You can even get your Uni mates involved and run for a charity or in a fancy dress costume for added fun. Don’t forget to stay hydrated and for this, we recommend the new Icon bottle with spout.
Visit a mate at another Uni. Chances are you'll have friends at different universities across the country and this is a great opportunity to explore other places you've not been to. Your friends will show you all the best places…..plus, it's a good chance to have a look around another university and see how they compare to yours. For the commute, we recommend our new Icon Travel tumbler.
Create an epic fancy dress costume. One of the great things about Uni life is the endless opportunity to wear fancy dress costumes. Whether it's a bar house party or a themed club night, spend a day making an epic costume that will blow everyone else out of the water.
Win a pub quiz. No cheating by searching for the answers on your mobile. Google should not be part of your team! This one might take some serious dedication because the chances of winning a pub quiz the first time around are pretty low. But if you're strategic about your team (you're going to need a geographer, a history buff, a science student and a couple of all-round knowledge geeks) you'll seriously improve your chances. And sometimes you can win some good prizes, including extra money for drinks.
