Tired of feeling trapped in your dorm with boring microwavable
mac and cheese? Feeling glued to your chair at the dining hall
with bland meals? Desperate to soak up the sun and sink your teeth
into a delectable strawberry?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, we are here to help.
Here is your guide for the perfect picnic break you deserve.
1
Grab a basket, backpack, or tote bag.
Finding a way to transport all your goodies is critical. It
should be light and comfortable to carry, and prevent any
creepy crawlers from getting into your food and drinks!
2
Find
a cozy blanket.
Bring a blanket that will make you feel cool and comfortable.
Picnics are not all about the snacks, they’re also about
relaxation and good times. For instance, if you want to
cloud watch, be sure to bring a wide enough blanket so you
can share with friends.
