5 Hacks For A Fun (And Safe) Spring Break

It's that time of the semester! Finally, a chance for you to relax and take a break from your constant school work and work load. Whether you're going on an all-inclusive trip or on a trip with just a couple of friends, you should make sure you prepare yourself for the week ahead. Here are some spring break hacks to help you survive the week!

1. Stay hydrated

Water will be your best friend through spring break if you're going to be hanging around the beach or pool all day. Make sure you remember to drink water when you wake up in the morning and throughout the day. The sun will dehydrate your body very quickly.

2. Pack lightly

Plan ahead on what you absolutely need to pack and make a list so you know you don't forget anything. Make sure the list includes essentials like any medications, sunscreen, sunglasses, deodorant, makeup, etc. Try and plan out some things on your vacation so you can plan what to wear on certain days.

3. Treat yourself

You deserve to pamper yourself this spring break. You have worked so hard this semester and deserve to treat yourself whether it be to a mani-pedi, a mini shopping spree, or a delicious meal. Do it because you deserve it!

4. Buddy system

No matter what happens, do not let yourself stray from your group. You may be in an unfamiliar place and you don't want anything to happen. Make sure to look out for your friends and stick together!

5. Relax

Spring break is meant for relaxation. Take the time to catch up on some sleep and clear your mind. Go to the beach and read a book you have been dying to read. You will realize how much you miss reading a book you're actually interested in since you are so used to reading boring text books.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
