After spending the winter holed up in your dorm, crying into your textbook, and begging your mom to buy you a sunlamp because you think you have SAD, it’s good to know that spring break is waiting just around the corner in all its tawdry, tacky glory.

Whether you’ll be on campus in a week-long bender where you try and see just how many historical statues you can pee on, or on some sunny getaway with a fruity drink in one hand and your swimsuit in the other as you frolic in the moonlight, we’re sure you’ll have fun.

But, like with mid-terms and first-dates, it pays to be prepared. Make sure you have all the necessary accoutrement  for a raucous good time.

Download this FREE college party checklist, and tick off your “to-do” list one-by-one.
