How I Prepare Myself For Spring Break

It's almost bikini season!

Spring Break is just around the corner! Here are some things that I do to get ready for it.

1. Buy some cute (and cheap!) bathing suits.

I love Zaful and Asos for cute and cheap swimwear. Nothing makes me feel more confident than rocking something that I know looks good on me.

2. Eat a little bit healthier than usual.

I don't believe in crash dieting, especially to prepare for an event or vacation, however, cutting back on the sugar and salt definitely helps with bloating and will make me feel my best when I am in a bikini all day.

3. Avoid foods that make me feel and look bloated.

Everyone has different foods that they are sensitive to. The week leading up to Spring Break, try to cut back on those foods that bloat you. For me, eggs, broccoli, and dairy are foods that I will be avoiding right before my trip.

4. Hydrate!

Staying hydrated is important all the time, but especially when you are going to be spending hours in the sun!

5. Don’t stress!

Remember that Spring Break is supposed to be fun and relaxing. If you are not in perfect shape, it's ok. Just enjoy your time!

Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.

We often forget to thank them for the little things that they do to make college even a tiny bit easier and more fun.
