For college students, spring break is that silver lining in the sky that temporarily frees them from tests, professors, and late hours spent in the library. It's a full week of whatever the hell you want, including fun — which you can always somehow afford. "Affordable" is the most attractive thing you can say to a college student, and spring break party items under $20 would have anyone in a pinch me, I'm dreaming phase.

Basically, with any of these items, you will be at the center of those instances when dope sh*t happens. Save your money and make your spring break festivities extra lit with some affordable items.
