When people think of spring break, they think of the warm weather. It is incredible to be hit with the realization that our week of fun is only two weekends away. We have exams nonstop and homework for hours each day, but we know it'll all be worth it when the time comes. A week to just relax and be with your friends in the warm weather.

1. Do all of your homework early. There is simply nothing worse than having to do homework the day you get back from a relaxing vacation.

2. Tan beforehand. You don't want to look like a tomato the first day of vacation. If tanning isn't your thing, I highly recommend lots of sunscreen the first day.

3. Eat healthy weeks beforehand. Everyone wants to be healthy and happy during their only week off during second semester.

4. Go to the gym. Working out releases endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people enjoy break.

5. Make a trip to the drugstore. You will absolutely want to bring medication, better safe than sorry.

6. Pack accordingly with your friends. Do not bring five straighteners and four blow dryers for one room.

7. Purchase a lock. You definitely want to lock your suitcase each day. I am sure as a college student, you are not staying at a five-star resort so it's best to protect yourself.

8. Have the correct currency on hand. Have your money exchanged prior to the airport and the hotel. Besides, you will want to buy some things.

9. Have a phone on hand. In case you need to beg your parents to put extra money in your bank account or something goes wrong you will need a cell phone. Don't bring it out everyday, but just make sure you have it.

10. Feel confident. Be happy with the person you are, don't walk into spring break comparing yourself to everyone else.
