You're in your second year of college and it's almost that time of year again when your classes start to pile up and drop pounds of work into your lap. You know that in just two short weeks, you will have your toes in the sand and not a care in the world. Spring break is right at the end of your finger tips, to the point that you can almost smell the sea salt air. Before you get to pack your bags and leave, there's a few things you're going to have to take care of first.

Did you study for your big History exam this week? It's the last thing you want to think about, but it's the major thing you can check off your list when finished. You will feel so relieved knowing that you passed your exam before heading off to vacation. While you study for your exam, knock out a few extra assignments for any other classes. This will help you feel not so overwhelmed when you come back and your Professors are sending constant reminders for upcoming assignments. You can relax knowing that you already finished them.

I know everybody stresses over their "spring break bod." This is nothing to worry over. Go to the beach and flaunt that new black bikini you bought. The reality is, is that majority of us aren't actually going to hit the gym 7 days a week. Be confident in the skin your in and own it.

Prepare for the unexpected cold that may come up. It's the worst possible scenario, but if it does happen stay calm. Make sure to take plenty of antibiotics and get your rest. If you follow those steps, you should be feeling better in no time.

Pack ahead of time and pack light, but let's be real you are most likely going to over pack and that's okay. Just make sure you have your necessities and don't forget to pack extra underwear. You and the girls are about to have the time of your lives. College trips are something you will never forget, so let's make this spring break one for the books.
