With spring break right around the corner, we are going to explore some items that are essential to making your trip unforgettable (que Unforgettable by French Montana ft Swae Lee). The ultimate spring break destination is somewhere warm and sunny, where you can hang out with your friends and make amazing memories. Making sure you have these items for a beach getaway is bound to make your spring break more enjoyable.

Here are 5 MUST HAVES for your upcoming Spring Break Trip:

  1. Sunscreen: It is essential to always wear sunscreen. This does not just apply to destinations that are bound to be sunny, but also in your daily skin routine. But it ESPECIALLY applies to your sunny vacation. We want to return from our trip looking as beautiful as when we got there.
  2. Waterproof Phone Pouches: This is a must for anyone that frequently uses their phone near the water or on the sand. Whether you take your phone in the water for swimming selfies or leave it back on the shore, you want to make sure you are keeping your phone protected from anything that can damage it or the sun.
  3. Reusable Water Bottle: Staying hydrated is crucial, especially when you are spending lots of time outdoors. I don’t know about you, but I have to have my water bottle with me at all times to make sure I am drinking lots of water!
  4. Flip Flops/Slides: Now this may be something that you are looking at and thinking is an obvious one, but you’d be surprised how many people forget to pack these for vacation. Having something you can slip on and off next to the pool or beach is essential. You don’t want to get your New Balances sandy.
  5. Beach Bag (Duh!): And lastly, you need to get a beach bag. Whether your tote is cute or just something that is easily transportable is super important because that’s where all of the above items are going to be placed.

Let me know if I missed any items on this list or what you’re putting in your bag!

My name is Rose Soltani and I am a writer of Her Campus at NC State University. I love writing and sharing my thoughts and ideas with everyone! I am a 4th year Business Administration Major with a Concentration in Marketing and I am also minoring in Middle East Studies. Upon graduation I am looking forward to attending law school due to my passion for law and legal rights issues. In the summer of 2022, I was fortunate enough to be a part of Duke University Law School's Pre-Law Fellowship. I learned so much valuable information about preparing for law school as well as the legal field. This past summer, I focused on studying for the LSAT. I was raised in Charlotte, NC and am the oldest of 3 children. I have 2 younger brothers so I love spending time with when I am back at home. I love baking, traveling, going for walks, and spending time with family and friends in my free time. Some of my favorite movies include How to Lose a Guy in 10 days and Father of the Bride.
