11 Geeky Essentials For Back To School

Break out your favorite academia-busting supplies because school is back in session and there’s nothing you can do about it. Teachers, books, essays, homework, and reading assignments upon reading assignments for days are back. And it’s time to embrace it: because knowledge is power! As is knowing where to get the best geeky goods to ensure your gewgaw game is strong this school season.

Because nerds are cool and showing off your obsessive fandom love is a way of life for you: sort of like how the Doctor travels through time and space. Flitting about wildly, trying to figure it all out, with a bunch of cool contraptions and knowhow to help him. That, my friends, could be you (metaphorically speaking, natch). So we’ve rounded up eleven of our favorite geeky goodies to make sure that at least your accouterment game is up to snuff when your alarm goes off and the school bus comes careening towards you.

1. Chewbacca Lunch Bag

Thermos

OK, so maybe bringing lunch to school isn’t the coolest, all things considered. But knowledge is power, fueled by protein and there’s no better way to traverse time, space, and math class than with a Chewy-themed lunch bag. The Force is clearly quite strong with this one. Buy it here.

2. Wonder Woman Laptop Skin

SkinIt

Because why have a regular ol’ laptop when you could have one that proclaims your love of everyone’s favorite Amazonian superhero? Lasso one for yourself here.

3. Catch’em All Sweatshirt

DrewWise

Not only is it a Pokéball on a sweatshirt, it’s all pixel-y and stuff! So nerd, very wow, much Internet. Catch it here.

4. Warp Speed Backpack

MadPax

Sure to take care of you even when you’re traversing warp speed across the quad. Pick it up here.

5. The Flash, Uh, Flash Drive (get it, get it?)

MimoCo

The Flash will save your cache in a…flash! On a flash! There’s so much flash you’d think we were the paparazzi. …Or an evil villain hoping to steal your most precious materials. Drive on over and pick it up here

6. Illusion Pencil Pouches

Fakus

They look two dimensional but they aren’t. Because optical illusions are officially the coolest way to carry around your three-dimensional objects. Pick ‘em up here.

7. Ewok Hoodie Tank

HerUniverse

The ladies of HerUniverse sure do know how to make clothes, don’t they? Anything from their collection will do, but we’re particularly fond of the Ewok hoodie because LOOK AT THOSE EARS. Grab it here.

8. The Big Red Button

ThinkGeek

Every desk needs one…particularly around midterms. And the rage receptacle will do one of four things when you press it: cover your screen with explosions; prompt you to punch a photo you’ve uploaded; taken to a spreadsheet to create the illusion of productivity; or a hotkey to take you to your favorite site. What’s not to love? Nab it here.

9. TARDIS Laptop Bag

Etsy

‘Cuz it’s bigger on the inside, duh! Within it you can very easily fit all of time and space. Fantastic! Pick up this one of a kind big blue box here.

10. The Borg Mini-Fridge

ThinkGeek

Fight the good fight while you’re keeping all of those (totally legal) brewskis chilled. Or, you know, your leftover ramen noodles. Get it here.

11. Dancing Baby Groot Figure

Funko

I mean how else are you supposed to get any work done at your desk without some sort of tiny, wooded champion cheering you on and reminding you that we are ALL Groot, huh? Keep an eye on Funko’s Twitter page to find out when it’s available (apparently the answer is “soon”)!

BONUS: Baked Potato Bean Bag Chair

Etsy

OK, so it’s not a part of any particular fandom but admit it: you totally want this bean bag chair for your dorm room, right? You can even pick if you want chives or no chives so how’s that for service, eh? Buy it here.

Too much exuberance for one person. Follow her on Twitter @alicialutes.
