TEM #049: Everything you’ll need to buy for graduate school.
I hope you've had a solid week and have enjoyed watching companies out-sale each other in a bid to compete against Amazon Prime Day.
In the spirit of back-to-school shopping for everyone who's starting school soon, today I've put together an overview of what type of items are worth buying - and what's simply a nice-to-have - when going back to graduate school after working full-time.
This week’s highlights:

Technology
Office supplies
Health and wellness
