McIlroy emerges from wild day to win Players Championship

<p>It is hard to believe that in less than a week spring will be here!</p><p>So that means spring breaks and vacations are kicking off. After weeks with snow and a polar vertex, I think we will all be happy to ditch school for warm weather and fun. One thing that isn&#8217;t usually exciting is packing. It can create a lot of stress and anxiety, so let&#8217;s kick that to the curb and talk about some spring break packing survival tips.</p><p><strong>1. Clothing:</strong> Bring pieces that you can mix and match with. You want what you are packing to be extremely versatile and be able to play off everything you bought. A tip I suggest is to stick to a similar color story and only bring 1 to 2 statement pieces for date night or an occasion you know you want to wear it for. Also opt in for pieces that you can dress up or dress down. You want to be able to go from the beach to the bar.</p><p><strong>2. Beach bag:</strong> Use this as your carry on bag for the plane so you don&#8217;t have to worry about stuffing this bag in your suitcase. It will act as the perfect size if you are flying or even as a travel bag if you are driving. You don&#8217;t need to worry about packing your best handbags because a beach bag can do just the right trick!</p><p><strong>3. Roll your clothing in your suitcase:</strong> This will not only keep your suitcase organized but it will help you to pack more strategically. Also, none of us like wrinkles so rolling pieces like shirts and shorts can help prevent them.</p><p><strong>4. Limit the amount of shoes:</strong> Ladies we all know we love shoes. In our minds, we probably picture at least five different pairs that we would want to wear with our stuff, but they take up a lot of space in our suitcases. Especially for a spring break trip, pack a few comfortable and chic options and you are good to go.</p><p><strong>5. Be realistic: </strong> It is a vacation so don&#8217;t bring your laptop and other technology that you don&#8217;t have to unless you truly need to. If a phone will do the job, then don&#8217;t cause yourself more stress by packing unnecessary stuff.</p><style>
