Hasta La Gadget!

Whether you’re a bright-eyed freshman or a super senior, summer vacation will be over before you know it–so you’d better start your shopping soon. Check out Gearlog’s Back-to-School Essentials list pronto for the gadgets you’ll want on hand during the best years of your life.

Samsung DualView TL225: Cultivate your college digital identity with the Samsung DualView TL225. It has impeccable image quality, a sleek and slender design, and a 3.5-inch touch screen. This camera also has a LCD on the front, so if, say, Jason Mraz gives a campus concert, you can secure a picture of the both of you, not one of you and his left ear. $349.99 list.

Skullcandy 50/50: Drown out the sound of people “studying” in the library, or pump yourself up while jogging with these headphones from Skullcandy. Priced at just under $50, you get a lot of bang for your buck: They’re excellent for bass-lovers and work wonderfully with your iPhone to take or end phone calls. Your ears will thank you. $49.95 list.
