F&M’s Ultimate Spring Break To-Do List

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at F and M chapter.

So spring break is almost here, right? So we’ve got everything you need for your ultimate spring break and what you should do with everything.

So for starters, let’s take SABRE’s pepper spray.

So when you’re getting tan, don’t forget to stay safe! This pepper spray has a 12-foot range, so attackers beware! SABRE has a mission to educate and advocate for college-aged students by empowering them to take control of their own personal safety. the SABRE Campus Safety Pepper Gel has a concentrated formula with no airborne particles. That means it has no effect on bystanders and is safe to use indoors. To ensure you have the best grip on the pepper gel, make sure to place it in the palm of your hand and grip your fingers around it. To activate, use your thumb, not your index finger. Be safe, ladies!

And, of course, there’s everyone’s favorite–Chipotle!

We all get hungry and Chipotle always seems to hit the spot. It’s everyone favorite Mexican food! So we got Buy One Get One Burrito Cards to keep your cravings under control while on break. Also, the company has released a mission statement called Food with Integrity, which highlights its efforts in using organic ingredients, and serves more naturally raised meat than any other restaurant chain. Not to mention, their new tofu Sofritas are #bliss.

We’re also sending some major HC Love to Her Campus Nationals for sending us some awesome stickers, koozies, sunglasses, and pens!

Her Campus has totally got your back with these awesome spring break must-haves! In fact, they’ve really got your back with the exclusive pre-release of our new book!

Since we all know that when you meet that campus cutie, you’re going to need amazing hair, Not Your Mother’s Hair Care has you covered!

So, Not Your Mother’s Hair Care was awesome enough to send us a ton of samples of their Clean Freak Purifying Shampoo and Clean Freak Purifying Conditioner!

Since we’ll be having some downtime during spring break, we’re all looking for something amazing to read. Well, thanks to Simon and Schuster, that’s not an issue anymore.

Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster is committed to serving readers and dedicated to publishing a wide variety of must-read books. Their newest spring break book, Dirty Rush by Taylor Bell, is what happens when you take the creative minds behind Babe Walker (author of the New York Times bestselling White Girl Problems series) and add Rebecca Martinson to the mix. Rebecca Martinson—yes, that bitch—the former Delta Gamma sister responsible for the scathing, expletive-filled email that verbally assaulted her entire chapter. Get that towel out and get ready for one engaging beach read! Can you say AMAZING AND HYSTERICAL AND PERFECT?

Needing a little boost after having some fun playing beach volleyball or skiing during spring break? Then you’ll definitely want to munch on some yummy LUNA bars.

We got some super delicious Luna Minis of Lemon Zest, Chocolate Dipped Coconut and Chocolate Peppermint Stick. (Don’t ask me to share. I won’t. You think I’m kidding. I’m not). Besides now being gluten free and releasing a new (and unbelievable!) Chocolate Cupcake flavor, Luna bars are the perfect Spring Break snack. Whether you’re heading on a hike with the fam, or want to do some healthy snacking on a girls night, these three flavor options are everything you need! Trust me, your life isn’t complete without LUNA bars.

Since you’re probably spending some of spring break trying to avoid thinking about the stress of finding an internship or job for the summer, why not read a book guarenteed to make you feel better about that situation? Enter in “The Intern’s Handbook” by Shane Kuhn.

At the ripe old age of almost twenty-five, John Lago is already New York City’s most successful hit man. He’s also an intern at a prestigious Manhattan law firm, clocking eighty hours a week getting coffee, answering phones, and doing all the grunt work actual employees are too lazy to do. He was hired to assas­sinate one of the firm’s heavily guarded partners. His internship provides the perfect cover, enabling him to gather intel and gain access to pull off a clean, untraceable hit.

Part confessional, part DIY manual, The Intern’s Handbook chronicles John’s final assignment, a twisted thrill ride in which he is pitted against the toughest—and sexiest—adversary he’s ever faced: Alice, an FBI agent assigned to take down the same law partner he’s been assigned to kill. Have we mentioned that it’s about to be a major motion picture hit starring Dave Franco?! You’re welcome.

So now you’re ready for all the things you need to do on this spring break. Now go out and enjoy the world!
