While at one point it may have seemed as if classes were inching by at snail speed, those days are long gone with midterms testing the confidence you have in yourself and spring break teasingly approaching you while also being just out of arms reach. I’m sure you can almost feel that sense of relief that a good vacation from real life provides, and it’s almost time to really let your hair down, but you may be a bit unprepared. Have you even started packing yet? If you haven’t, Her Campus is here to aid in that process with the ultimate spring break survival kit that you simply must squeeze into your carryon.

6. Krazy Glue
I know you’re probably thinking: “why would I ever need Krazy Glue on my spring break vacation?” Now I want you to think about those sandals that you’ve been wearing out for the last six months or those reasonably priced shades that you picked up from Forever 21 a few weeks ago. How much of a bummer would it be if your thong sandal just happened to snap mid-step or if your sunglasses lost an arm while you frolicked through the beach waves? That would be terrible, but luckily you’ll have Krazy Glue All Purpose Singles 4ct.-0.5g on you to fix both malfunctions in a cinch! Krazy Glue easily bonds with wood, metal, plastics, glass, vinyl and ceramics.

The towelettes are compact enough to slip in your overnight bag and even in your purse and the natural color will begin to develop in about 2-4 hours after application.
