I can’t believe Spring Break is almost here! This semester is flying by and nothing sounds better than a relaxing week off of school. This year, I will be spending my spring break at home in Kansas, but I know many Emporia State students will be making trips to popular spring break destinations.
The most popular destination for ESU students seems to be South Padre Island, Texas. Texas is home to the closest beach to Emporia and many college students go to South Padre to enjoy the sun and the partying.
I joined the crowd one year and went to Texas with a group of friends. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it ended up being a great time. I had no idea what to pack for this 4-5 day trip and ended up over-packing which I always seem to do. For all of you girls who plan on going on a Spring Break trip this year, here are some items to make sure you include!
2-3 swimsuits (this is what everyone wears to the beach everyday)Shorts and tank tops (wear this over your swimsuit before you make it to the beach)Going out clothes (Padre has amazing clubs that everyone goes to at night)DressesSkirtsCrop TopsSkinny JeansSandals and flip flops (wear these to the beach)Heels or Wedges (wear these to the club)Comfy clothes (for long car ride home and for bed)Fanny Pack (this would be great to hold your items at the beach)Cross shoulder purse (easy to carry at the club)
Of course you are going to also want to pack all of the other essential items, but this is a general idea of what you might want for those long days and nights with hundreds of friends. If you are going on a Spring Break trip, be safe and have fun! Enjoy your Spring Break!
