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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
