Spring Break is by far the best time of the year; it is perfectly placed in the middle of spring semester when stress is at its peak. Enjoy the break while you can but whether you're going to the beach, somewhere you've never been or enjoying a stress-free week at home there are still a few tips you should remember:

1. Wear sunscreen!

It is almost guaranteed you're going to be outside for Spring Break. You can get your tan without getting burnt, lather up!

2. Drink plenty of water.

Most college students indulge in plenty of alcoholic drinks over the break but make sure you also drink plenty of water. Staying hydrated is important.

3. Make sure you keep track of how much money you're spending.

It is easy to get swept up in vacation and swipe your card more than you intended. Keep track of what you're spending money on so you don't have to work overtime for the next three months.

4. Stay safe!

Being in a place that is unfamiliar, especially in a party atmosphere can be dangerous. Always stay with your friends, in well-lit areas, and POUR YOUR OWN DRINKS.

5. Check-in with your mom.

It is important that someone knows where you are, and I don't think any mom would be happy to see you posting pictures from halfway across the US and she didn't know about it.

6. Always keep your phone charged.

You never know when you're going to need that sucker for an Uber, or just security.

7. Your body looks great in your bathing suit.

Eat that cookie, Spring Break is not the end all; I guarantee you will still look great.

8. Remember, there are cameras everywhere.

This day in age everyone has a smartphone and they snap and post everything. Don't do anything you'd be embarrassed to see on social media later.

9. Have fun.

Spring Break is a time you need to be at least somewhat responsible but that doesn't mean you can't have fun. Face it, once you get a real job you're not just guaranteed a week off in the middle of spring so enjoy it while you can.
