You’ve passed the tests, you’ve written a million essays, you’ve attended the lectures, you’ve paid four years of tuition… (sorry about bringing up that last one). BUT the point I’m trying to get to is that basically…. YOU ABSOLUTELY ROCK!

You’re finally in the home stretch of your final year in your final semester! Can you believe it?! Just a few assignments/exams to go!!!

Now, with only a few months left… we know you need a little pick-me-up to get you through. 

After recieving our 2016 HC SPRING BREAK SURVIVAL KIT, our recommendations for the Class of 2016 became super clear… here’s what you need to do!

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL THE RIGHT TOOLS… in other words, make sure you still have some pens/pencils to finish off your final exams. It may seem silly…but this is NOT something you want to worry about 5 minutes before your final….R.I.P to all the other 57 I’ve lost from my 60 pack this year…

PS. This HC one has a game inside… perfect for procrastination! I mean… improving your focus. 

GET YOURSELF A HELLA CUTE DRINKING CUP! Stay hydrated and study hard! AND AFTER, you can use this for your party drink!!! Cheers!

DON’T FORGET YOUR STUDENT CARD… You’ll need this for all of your exams! We’re keeping ours safe and tight in these super adorable Vera Bradley ID and change purses. The change compartment is also perfect for keeping your coffee change in one place.

STAY FLAWLESS… okay, you dont have to be “flawless” but don’t forget to take care of yourself! When you look good, you feel good… I swear it’s science! A little eyeliner or blush can really hide the fact that you’ve had 3 hours of sleep… Thank us later!

GET CREATIVE… take a break and relax. Go to the mall, go for a walk, surf the internet (for awesome HC articles), or check out some cool new products – we just discovered brappz. These things are wacky! They can turn into jewellry, shoe laces, and bra straps?!?! Say what?!?!?!! I know right? 

GET YOURSELF A BIG BAG… Not joking. You’re super busy and have a million things to bring on campus to study (text books, binders, laptops, chargers….). Don’t be that girl trying to balance everything in her arms… we all know how that ends. If you wanna go BIG… we suggest one of these gooooorgeous Vera Bradley bags. They’re also going to look fab at your first real job post-grad.
