For those who have already defeated the numerous midterm monsters and those who are still fearlessly battling, spring break 2013 is finally upon us. We venture out of the stuffy library still donned in yesterday's sweatpants and grab our suitcases and journey to that long awaited destination since the beginning of spring semester.
No matter if you are going to relax on a beach in California or spend time with your family, it's hard to pack for a spring break vacation. I always find myself trying to pack my whole closet into one suitcase. To combat the spring break fashion fever, here are a few tips on what to wear and how to effectively pack a suitcase.
Beach:

City:

Pack a purse that will be able to hold all the essentials, including a camera if you want to take pictures. Wear closed-toe shoes (no heels), period. Your feet will love you.

Mountains:
