What do you need to get ready for spring break 2k15? Let HC tell you what’s on our list and in our beach bags this spring break. First, HC GCSU wants to thank Nationals for sending us some awesome swag! Also, a huge thank you to our sponsors – we appreciate you so much! Before you head off campus to get some much needed sun, sleep, and Netflix binging, check out our list of must haves to make this the best spring break yet!

SABRE Pepper Spray

While we are all about having fun safety must come first, collegiates. This adorable and cute pink pepper spray not only looks great on your key chain, but also could save your life! While having fun on your spring break, here are SABRE’s top three spring break safety tips:

o Party safely. Watch your drink at all times and don’t ever take anything from strangers. Make sure you are with people you trust.

o Remember that there truly is strength in numbers. Never a leave a friend on their own and keep an eye out for your friends. Always make sure you have emergency cash on-hand and a charged cellphone. You never know when you might need it.

o Especially if you are traveling internationally or in an unfamiliar place, it is always a good idea to have a business card with your hotel’s address and phone number on.

· About the SABRE Campus Safety Pepper Gel: Designed with college students in mind and a 12-foot range, 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.

Chipotle

Yummy! Too bad Milledgeville doesn’t have a chipotle near by, but definitely hit this place up when you are at the beach and need some delicious refueling! Another great thing about Chipotle is their dedication to delicious and wholesome ingredients that make their burritos and tacos absolutely wonderful!

Her Campus

That’s right, Nationals sent us some amazing swag from pens to koozies to stickers to sunglasses! The online Her Campus store has everything you need to make it a great spring break. They also have their book The Her Campus Guide to College Life: How to Manage Relationships, Stay Safe and Healthy, Handle Stress, and Have the Best Years of Your Life ready for pre-order.
