Summer Survival Kit!

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

With spring semester coming to an end, it’s time to #CelebrateYourself and all that you have accomplished so far this year. Whether you landed the internship, got stellar grades, or just had a terrific semester, you deserve to take a moment and celebrate what makes you amazing. Spring semester is always grueling, so with summer just around the corner, you deserve to kick back, relax and remember what it is like to enjoy a little free time.

Here at Her Campus UNC Wilmington, we are gearing up for summer with some essentials that our national team sent. You can never be completely prepared for what summer has to offer, but here are some of the things that we received that will be sure to make our summer kick butt.

Chipotle: Burritos may not be a summer essential, but Chipotle is something we love to eat no matter the season. The fresh ingredients and large variety make chipotle THE Mexican food hot spot. There is at least one Chipotle in most major cities, so you are sure to find one no matter where you travel this summer.

Boohoo “April Showers” Ponchos: In Wilmington, rain notoriously falls when the weather is meant to be sunny. So, we always need to be ready for a quick shower during the spring and summer months. Boohoo “April Showers” Ponchos are perfect for this because they are lightweight and convenient to store almost anywhere. Also, Boohoo recently released a campaign called #WeAreUSA to celebrate what makes you who you are.

The Her Campus Guide to College Life: With the help of Her Campus’ Guide to College Life Postcard, we are well on our way to learning how to be the best college students we can be. These postcards offer tips on every aspect of college life in order to maximize the time we have remaining at UNC Wilmington.

Crunch Live: To help keep our bodies in tip-top shape for summer, we now have 30-day free memberships to Crunch Live, an online gym program. Crunch Live allows you to work out anywhere at anytime, which makes it a lot easier to stick to a workout plan.

Rich Bitch, by Nicole Lapin: This summer we’ll be reading up on how to get our financial lives in check by reading Rich Bitch. Nicole Lapin’s new book gives young professionals a 12-step plan to learn how to handle your money and budget for the future.

Blink Tattoos: Want a tattoo without the pain or the commitment? Well luckily for us, we get to try out Blink Temporary Tattoos. These are perfect for bikini weather because they add a little extra bling to your body.

Chloe + Isabel GEM Program Cards: This summer we are also going to learn how to be the best we can be in the professional world while trying out and trying on awesome jewelry. With the help of Chloe + Isabel and their GEM program, we have the opportunity to learn techniques to make it big time in the marketing and business world. 

Thanks again to Her Campus and all of our sponsors for sending us these goodies to ring in the summer season. We cannot wait for summer to start so that we can celebrate ourselves and all of the hard work we have done this school year.
