Forget the cooler, here’s what you really need:
- Slip-resistant shoes for dancing on elevated surfaces.
- Tissues for your inevitable drunk crying.
- And waterproof mascara.
- A pillow and blanket for your middle of the beach pass-out.
- All the high-waisted shorts for the post-beer bong bloating.
- Some sort of GPS locator when you wander off to mingle and realize you’re completely lost.
- A Sharpie to write your info on you and your friends’ bodies. You know, just in case.
- Aloe vera to use after you decided you didn’t need sunscreen.
- Go ahead and buy makeup a shade darker while you’re at it.
- A bikini top that’s incredibly hard to remove. Standards tends to frown upon “Girls Gone Wild.”
- One of those toddler harness leash things.
- A metal detector to find your phone in the sand.
- All the Pedialyte.
- An abundance of sunglasses. You will lose all of them.
- Mouthwash.
- A big floppy hat to conceal your identity.
- Plenty of outfit choices. You never know where the drunken days will end up.
- A playlist to drown out the sound of puking in the background.
- Name tags to give to guys who think you’ll remember their name.
- A backstory for your fake spring break persona.
- Your dignity. No guarantees it’s coming back with you, though..
