Ah, spring break. So close yet so far away. Is it bad that the semester just started but I’m already dreaming about it? I can’t wait for a chance to get away. Where will I really be going for spring break? Nowhere. But a girl can dream, right?

‘Why?’ tends to be the popular question. Followed quickly by, ‘Were you drunk? and ‘Do you regret it?’ No. Well, I was drunk, but I definitely don’t regret it. It’s awesome.

As summer internships and jobs wrap up and summer comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to make a quick getaway before school starts. Don’t worry–you don’t need a lot of money to get away and enjoy a little piece of summer if you follow this guide!

So it’s Spring Break and I only have two words: hell yes. Here are the top 10 ways Greeks keep it, well, Greek on vacation.

I rarely burn, but I’ve had a few cases of awful sunburn where I had to stay inside and lay on the floor because my down comforter felt like a bed of nails against my skin. I’ve blistered and picked and even had sun poisoning. So trust me, I feel your pain.

There are only 4 days (well, more like 3 days, 22 hours and 12 minutes) until your flight takes off for Cancun. You’ve got 6 lectures and 2 discussion sections between you and the smell of SPF 30/sweet, sweet freedom, but your brain has been checked out for days.

I think there are just one too many excuses to celebrate this month – from Spring Break to St. Patty’s Day and even Mardi Gras (even though I will not exactly be there to enjoy it…). Let me tell you, March is really gonna test my stamina.

Spring Break is right around the corner!! Can you tell I’m really excited? Come on, I know I’m not the only one. But while it may seem like you can be as carefree as you want, truth is you need to take care of yourself, especially your skin!

Sun, sand, swimsuits and Spring Break. Apart from an icy cocktail and a hot cabana boy, the final touches for your Spring Break packing is an assortment of practical (yet stylish) accessories.

Baggage fees are beyond outrageous now, so the ultimate goal for any traveler is to pack as many things as possible into as few bags as possible. However, Spring Break is the time when you want to show off your killer tan and fabulous fashion finds all week long so it presents quite the problem for the spring breaker on the budget.
