By Kayla Samek\u2014Spring break is around the corner, and for many students that means a well-deserved break from classes either by going home or on vacation. The most difficult part of any trip is packing. Here are a few tips and tricks to help a spring breaker pack efficiently.<\/p>\n
First off, don\u2019t over pack. It is a good idea to be prepared for situations that may come up during a trip. Be conscious of what your plans are for your vacation and pack accordingly. If need be, you can always purchase small items when you get to your destination. Also, bring only one or two bottoms that can be paired with different tops to make different outfits instead of bringing five separate outfits.<\/p>\n
Secondly, don\u2019t under pack. Think you\u2019ll only need seven pair of socks because you\u2019re staying seven days? What if those socks get wet or ripped? For some items, it is acceptable to pack extra\u2014certain hygiene items go without saying. There is nothing wrong with being prepared, especially if you are travelling somewhere with unfamiliar weather patterns. Even if you are going somewhere warm, it may get cold during the night or it could rain.<\/p>\n
Lastly, don\u2019t wait until the last minute. Don\u2019t wait to start packing until three hours before the plane is scheduled to leave. Packing quickly leads to throwing everything within an arm\u2019s reach into a bag. When you arrive to your destination, you might find that you packed three belts but no toothbrush or underwear. It\u2019s smarter to plan out in advance what should be packed. Some things can be packed early, but others have to be packed last minute\u2014such as a toothbrush or perishable items. Create a list of what you will need and when you are going to pack it.<\/p>\n
These tips can help get your Spring Break to a relaxing start. Making sure you have everything you need, will let you get the most out of your break before it is time to come back to classes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
