Spring break is a long-awaited and glorious event during the school year. Students of all ages are packing their bags and longing for the beach and sun that await them. This list includes everything you'll need to have a fun-packed successful spring break.

1. Sunscreen

This is one of the basics, but it's important to point it out because the majority of college students think they're invincible and don't need sunscreen.

2. Aloe

If you're one of the students mentioned above, you're going to end up needing aloe after you burn in the sun from not using sunscreen.

3. Bathing suits

Duh.

4. A fanny pack

It will hold all of your valuables and make quite the fashion statement.

5. Your decorated water jug

Whether or not you choose to fill it with water is your choice, but this jug will keep you from having to run around all day looking for a refill.

6. The perfect hat

7. A flag

Whether it's for a sorority, fraternity, school, or America the great, a flag will make for some great pictures.

8. Koozies

There will be drinking.

9. Sunglasses

Make sure you have the perfect pair that's a mix between protection and fashion!

10. First-aid kit

Trust me, you'll thank me for this one. Better safe than sorry!

11. Plenty of tanks

12. A cooler

13. Disposable cups

This will ensure that you're not too upset over losing your favorite cup.

14. Plenty of drinks and snacks

Keep yourself hydrated and well-fed!

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
