Snowfall in New England is typical this time of year. Lucky for us college students, we get an opportunity to swap trekking to class in the snow for laying in the sand under some palm trees. Before you can put your bathing suit on and hop on a plane, you need to do the hard part -- packing. If you are wondering, “What should I bring?’ we’ve got you covered. Here are five travel essentials you will need when heading to your destination this spring break. 

  1. Disposable Camera

Traveling on spring break is all for the memories. Whether that includes shopping at the local small businesses in Costa Rica or laying beachside in Daytona Beach, a disposable camera is able to capture all the memories from your glory days in one place, without taking up storage on your phone. Then, after your trip, you can develop the pictures and reminisce when it wasn’t 25 degrees and snowing. You can get this one on amazon for $21.94 at KODAK Disposable Camera .

  1. Supergoop Glowscreen

Want to stay protected from the sun, but not look like a lifeguard from the 1980s? Supergoop Glowscreen is SPF 40, so it shields you from the sun, but also adds a glow to your face! Keep that shine and tanned look while preventing sun damage and aging. You can get Supergoop Glowscreen in four different shades for $22 at Supergoop Glowscreen.

 

  1. Samsonite Carry-On

You can’t go anywhere without luggage. Since spring break is only a week, and I would hope you’re spending most of the time in a bathing suit, this 21” carry-on made by Samsonite is perfect. It has a 10-year limited warranty, a TSA lock that ensures security, four spinner wheels, and much more. Get it on Amazon now for $149 at Samsonite Carry On.

 

  1. Hand Sanitizer Wipes

Traveling can spread a ton of germs. You’re touching different door handles, seatbelts, credit-card machines, and much more. That’s why keeping clean on vacation is so important; you don’t want to miss the classes after spring break. These hand sanitizer wipes are compact and good for on the go sanitizing, and can be used to wipe down surfaces to kill germs as well. Get this pack of 24 individually packaged wipes at CVS now for only $4.99 at Hand Sanitizer wipes.

  1. Sandals

Every warm destination vacation calls for a new pair of sandals. A universal sandal is hard to find, but not impossible. Luckily, the ones from Target fit every occasion. Beach at 4, but dinner at 5? No problem. For the feminine look, get these in a variety of different colors for $19.99: Womens Lulu Sandal. For the masculine look, try these out for size at $24.99: Mens Ashwin Sandal.
