All Brandeisians know the struggle that is the month of March. We are one of the only colleges I’ve ever heard of that has vacations in February and April, instead of the traditional March spring break. Due to this, March can seem like a never-ending month, where your Instagram feed is filled with pictures of incredible getaways, meanwhile you struggle along through midterms. Luckily, the HC Spring Break Survival Kit has arrived, and with it are plenty of goodies to get through the month of March while feeling like you are on spring break, not slaving away in the library.
Midterms season is one of the busiest times in a Brandeisian’s semester. It seems like everything is due all at once, and you have a million and one things on your to-do list. During this stressful time, my planner helps me stay on top of everything going on in my life. The Erin Condren Deluxe Monthly Planner is perfect for organizing my assignments, meetings, and other obligations. And so that list doesn’t get too depressing, the adorable stickers and colorful markers are perfect for making my midterms schedule as aesthetically as possible!
In the stress of midterms, sometimes self-care can fall to the wayside. We stay up too late, forget our healthy eating habits, and throw our hair in the same messy bun day after day because we just don’t have time to do it. If it’s one of those weeks where your hair is a little past due for a good wash and style, dry shampoo is a great option. The Psssst! Tropical Dry Shampoo is perfect for giving some extra life to your hair, and it smells so tropical that you’ll think you’ve taken a vacation to the islands.
In the midst of staring wistfully at the spring break pictures flooding your social media, you will probably notice that many people are soaking up the sun and getting a nice tan, while your “glow” has definitely seen better days since those late nights in the dungeon. Luckily, the HC Survival Kit came with L’Oreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Towelettes and Lotion. You just wipe your face with the towelette like it’s a makeup wipe and in about 2 hours, you’ll start looking as sun-kissed as someone on spring break. You can also use the lotion to fool everyone on campus into thinking you got a good dose of Vitamin D.
What’s something that midterms season and being on the beach have in common? Well no matter where you are, it’s important to stay hydrated. Luckily, the super cute and sparkly tumbler from Juicy Couture is the perfect vessel for your water, because it’s always easier to sip from a cute container when you are trying to struggle through mountains of work.
When you finally make it to the end of the week, take a well-deserved break and hit the town with your friends. Waltham and Cabo are only different if you make them, so party it up like you’re on spring break! If you use the Hot Lips lipstick samples from Charlotte Tilbury , you’ll be sure to feel dolled up and glamorous for a night out to blow off some steam.
After all, it’s spring break…or midterms season.
