With Spring Break quickly approaching and midterms in full swing, packing for your tropical getaway is the last thing on your mind. Packing can be stressful for many, so to ensure precious space in your luggage is not wasted, follow these steps below:

1. Pack in a carryon

Most people tend to over pack when it comes to vacations, and I can say that I am one of those people. But for a short five-day trip, a carryon is all you need. Remember with a carryon that you must make sure all of your liquids are travel size.

2. Plan your outfits

In order to not bring too many clothes it is necessary to plan what you plan to wear for each occasion. Know how many bathing suits you need to last through the days, and how many outfits you need for a night out. Also, try and see if you can bring pieces that can be worn multiple times but styled differently. This will save lots of space when packing.

3. If you haven't worn it in a year, don't bring it

I constantly find myself always buying things that I think I'll wear one day, and that day never comes. Vacations especially have been a time when I pack something that I think I can finally wear, but ultimately still don't wear it. To avoid wasting this space, make sure each piece of clothing you bring is something that you know you will wear.

4. Don't forget the sunscreen and aloe

Speaking from my own experience, I thought I could beat the sun. But sadly, I found myself on the second day of my trip with severe sun poisoning and paying for overpriced aloe. Don't think you're invincible and the sun won't affect you, because it will! Make sure to pack travel sizes of these products to avoid spending the extra money.

5. One pair of night shoes, one pair of day shoes

Like many women, I am a shoe fanatic. When I'm packing I always see myself throwing in three pairs of shoes to wear to dinner, when in reality I'll wear the same ones every night. Packing extra shoes that I never wear ends up being a massive waste of space.

6. Cash is a necessity

If you are traveling out of the country, it is always a good idea to bring extra money with you in case of emergency. Also, when you're on vacation you may want to do something that you hadn't planned for ahead of time, so having cash to pay for those things will definitely come in handy.

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
