The 7 Things No Self-Respecting Srat Girl Leaves For Spring Break Without

Georgia Gallagher

There are some basic rules you should follow as you're preparing for spring break: Know where you're going. Don't pack beach clothes for a ski trip and vice versa. Also, try to pack light. (This is totally directed at myself.) I'm about to embark on a beach trip with THREE boys so if I don't pack light they might not be too happy with me. One bag only, Crimson, you got this.

1. Swimsuits

Normal clothes (i.e. Nike shorts and T-shirts) are perfect for putting on as a cover-up over your swimsuit, going somewhere casual to eat, and even pajamas. A true triple threat.

2. The Flag

OK, I know it's super basic. I'm definitely bringing the flag and getting another beach pic with it.

3. Going Out Clothes

On the rare chance we might go somewhere that requires a little more effort than a T-shirt and shorts, bringing a going out outfit or two might not be a bad choice.

4. Makeup

I don't know about anyone else, but my hair gets a little unruly at the beach. So I will not be bringing my flat iron. My makeup, however, is a different story. If we go out I've got to look nice!

5. Sunglasses

I try to always take multiple pairs of sunglasses with me when I go to the beach. A nice pair for the ride down and the ride home, and some cheap pairs I wouldn't cry over if I lost.

6. Travel Cups

I have a really bad habit of not being able to make a road trip without having something to drink, even if it leads to frequent stops to go to the bathroom. Having a Tervis or something similar is perfect to have on any road trip, not just spring break.

7. Playlists

I can't wait for the playlists to be made. Riley has enough music to keep everyone happy and makes really great playlists. I might be slightly biased though.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

You can't just go to your room to take a nap in the middle of your classes.

Having to spend all your extra cash on gas for your car.

Speaking of money, you probably don't have a meal plan so you're forced to scrounge up some change or mooch off of your friends.

It can be harder to maintain the friendships you make with people from class.

Finding a parking spot.

It can be harder to be involved on campus because between your one, two, or three jobs and school you don't have much free time.

When you try to be super involved on campus, it can kill your sleep schedule.

It's impossible to do homework at home, but staying on campus isn't an option sometimes.

There are surveys and events that you can't participate in because you're a commuter.

Group projects are the bane of your existence.

Traffic.

Your backpack rivals that of a survivalist trekking in the woods.

Driving all the way to campus to find a note on the door of your classroom saying class was cancelled.

Because have you ever had to endure grilling your foot on a George Foreman?

1. When he just wanted bacon from his George Foreman grill

2. When he had money (and Jan) issues

3. When he got upstaged at Phyllis' wedding

4. When he unintentionally saved Meredith from rabies

5. When he wore a "bisexual" suit

6. When he had to apologize to Jesus

7. When his GPS drove him into a lake

8. When he had to deal with Ryan as his boss

9. When he couldn't fulfill his most generous empty promise

10. When this happened

11. When he struggled with a X-Mas break up

12. When he had to defend his generosity

13. When he threw a classy Christmas party for Holly but she had a boyfriend

14. When he had to stand up to peer pressure

15. When Toby was "Toby-ish"
