Apart from midterms, deadlines for projects, and studying, figuring out trips and planning around work and friends’ schedules is tough. Traveling is taxing enough, but there are plenty of tips and accessories to make your plans easy and affordable.

Whether you are heading to the sunshine state, or skiing in Colorado, the clothes you pack are important. They also take up a lot of space, and paying for items of luggage and carry-ons can put a dent in your bank account (as well as the flight itself!) Packing cubes can be super helpful because it allows you to keep track of what you are packing and keep it neat.

Spring break should be full of relaxation and stress-free. Yet, it is not an excuse to ween off of staying healthy and safe. If you travel with medicine, vitamins, or a full-on skincare routine, it is best to keep this stuff safe and easy to manage while on the go. It is also important to keep your skin hydrated, especially in the sun.

Travel-size sunscreen, moisturizer, and lotion are important to keep your skin healthy. Another way to save money instead of buying new things is to buy travel bottles and fill them with your normal-sized necessities!

Another great investment for spring break is a fanny pack or neck wallet.

No one can pickpocket you because it is basically right in front of you at all times! There are a number of designs; some have card holders, and others can hold your phone, wallets, and even water bottles.

A simple fanny pack from Amazon can really elevate an outfit while simultaneously keeping everything you need secure.
