Unwind with these six uniquely scented candles

By Jessica Berget, Staff Writer

Being a student is tough. Admit it: You’re barely holding it together as is. With all the stress we have to deal with on a day-to-day basis, it’s a wonder we haven’t all gone completely apeshit. At the end of the day, all we want to do is run a bath, read a book, and relax with a calming scented candle. For those times when you feel like you’re about to fly off the handle, light one of these incredibly effective, stress-relieving candles and feel your scholarly agony just melt away.

House Full of Groceries

There is nothing greater than coming home after a long day of cramming your head with knowledge than finding out your house has been blessed with food, oh glorious food. Now that beautiful, calming feeling can be relived, and smelled—in candle form!

Class Gets Cancelled

Is there any better feeling in the world than discovering your class has been cancelled? I doubt it. And now there’s no better fragrance. This candle combines the bliss and contentment of finding out the class you were dreading all day has been cancelled, along with the gratification of not having to leave the house at all. Simply sublime. 

Free Textbooks

No need to shell out $300 this semester for your textbooks, this amazing, long-lasting candle will provide you with the scent of brand spanking new textbooks, absolutely free!*

*(Actually for $27.99.)

Cancelled Plans

The most satisfying feeling is now the most satisfying scent. If your anxiety is at an all-time high, lighting this candle will put you in complete euphoria. You’ll wonder why you don’t cancel all your plans all the time, every single one of them. 

Did Well on a Test You Did Not Study For

We’ve all been there. You did not study for this test because you were too busy thinking about what other professions you could try if you dropped out of school right now. Maybe professional juggling could be fun? You already juggle with your hopes and dreams on a daily basis. You get the test back you for sure thought you failed, only to realize not only did you pass, you killed it, dude! This candle provides the scent of the utter ecstasy of acing a test you put no effort into studying for, with a hint of disbelief that you even passed at all. The result? Complete transcendence.

Student Debt

Amazing! This hyper-realistic candle smells exactly like the burden of your $40,000 debt being burned right in front of your very nose, making this our most effective stress-relieving scent.
