For those of you that don't know me very well, I am originally from a small northern state called New Hampshire. My parents still live there, so I travel from Florida back to New Hampshire at least two times a year.

Aside from that, I love to travel in general and take some little day or weekend trips. Although I am not an expert, I can definitely say that I have improved at packing. I used to stay up all night before any trip trying to decide what to bring - even if the trip was only for a weekend. Now, it only takes me a few hours. So, I decided to share a list of essentials to make packing easier for you too!

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
