Google Nest Mini
Earn a degree, get a job, and one day you might climb the corporate ladder high enough to earn your own personal assistant. For your college years, however, a smart speaker can be just as useful. Google Assistant can do everything from helping you with your studies, to easily setting alarm clocks when you’re too tired to fumble with buttons, to even playing soothing sounds when you’re struggling to drift off to sleep. It also gives you access to various music streaming services, and at $49, the Google Nest Mini is one the most affordable options currently available and no larger than a hockey puck.
