My freshmen year of college; I had two jobs. I decided that working was more important than doing what most of the other students were doing, which was socializing and hanging out with friends. I stayed at home and was so content with working all 7 of those days that I had off that I didn't even think about what I was missing out on. When it was February I heard a bunch of people talking about spring break. I had heard about it before and had seen it in movies, but had never actually experienced it. Not going on spring break was one of the biggest mistakes of my life. Here are 10 reasons why you should go on spring break!
1. You're young, so please don't work your life away.

2. Regardless of where you go on spring break, you will make memories that will stick with you forever.
3. After being in school for 2 months, it's nice to take a break. Whether you're laying on the beach or doing something else, not thinking about work or the next assignment that is due is a break in itself.
4. Quality time with some awesome people is never unwelcome!
5. Wherever you go, you can meet some really awesome people that you might connect with!
6. Exploring somewhere other than where you live is a really great life experience.
7. Get out of your comfort zone! If you're anything like me, you like the normal routine of your day, but broadening your horizon never hurts.
8. If you don't go you may regret it. Once a moment passes, you can't get it back. Take full advantage of the opportunities that are put in front of you!
9. Escape your responsibilities! You are young and deserve to test yourself every once in a while. You deserve to figure out your limitations.
10. Let go! Let go of the guy that you may or may not hang out with back at home. Let go of the pressure your boss is putting on you to stay and work. Especially let go of your personal barriers that are telling you not to go out and live your life!
Spring break isn't for everyone, but I suggest that you give it a chance! I'm going on spring break this year, and I can't wait. Spending some quality time on the beach with some amazing people is exactly what anyone needs. Regardless of what you end up doing, make the most of it!
