Spring Break Survival Kits!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCSB chapter.

There’s no better way to de-stress than to be showered with fun, handy, and pink goodies!  As we conquer finals week, Her Campus Nationals and some of our favorite partners have rewarded us with a big high five and a “You go girl,” sending yet another round of amazing Survival Kit treats!  

Even in the spell of the inevitable finals week struggle, our swag bag is pleasant motivation to get spring break ready…soon to be swapping our caffeine regimens to champagne diets and yoga pants to hot-bod bikinis!

Helping us keep our beauty (and brain) rest in order as we ace final examinations, Neuro has provided us with its Neuro SLEEP drinks – allowing you to get a tasty blend of sleepy-time ingredients and wake up refreshed and recharged.  Whether in the library, coffee shop, or on the beach, TRESemmé and ZOTOS Professional hair care graciously help remind that luscious locks are always a must!

Though finals week somehow makes sour gummy worms and pizza an appealing combination, Chipotle and Bobble help us kick our junk food cravings with free meals and stylish filter water bottles. With an awesome discount on swimwear and a free wax, our friends at Yokini Swimwear and European Wax Center take care of our spring break necessities, easing the search of a perfect bikini frenzy and helping to flaunt a va va voom beach bod! 

We would like to send special thanks to Her Campus Nationals and our amazing partners for such awesome Spring Survival Kit swag…we’re ready to splash into spring!

Rachel is a senior at UC Santa Barbara and studies Communication and Global Peace and Security. Rachel is from a small, beautiful town in southern California called Palos Verdes. However, Palos Verdes is just one of the many places Rachel has lived. Rachel spent her childhood moving and traveling all over the world, living in places such as Indianapolis, Indiana; Santiago, Chile; Vienna, Austria; and Orlando, Florida. Rachel has found her heart and her home in California, choosing to spend her college years in sunny Santa Barbara. However, Rachel continued her wanderlust when she studied abroad in Barcelona, Spain in Fall 2012. At UCSB, Rachel is an immensely dedicated and involved member of her sorority Kappa Kappa Gamma, where she held the positions of Panhellenic Delegate, Inter-Greek Counselor, Rho Gam, and a member of the Nominating Slate. Best Buddies, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, and leadership development for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, is a passion of Rachel's, as she is their Social Media Coordinator as well as an active and proud member. As a member of the Lambda Pi Eta Communication Honors Society, Rachel is able to implement her prowess and affinity for communication and communication-related issues. When Rachel is not writing, participating in Kappa events, or volunteering, you can find her in the gym, on the soccer field, watching Modern Family, or cooking. Rachel's love for sports, food, and writing often times go hand-in-hand, as one may see in her weekly blogs. For the past two summers, Rachel has been freelance writing for the Los Angeles Times, and hopes to continue her career pursuit of journalism after she graduates. Rachel is elated to be a part of Her Campus's fabulous team and loves every moment of it!
