Spring breaks are just as diverse as the individuals who go on them. You have the:

  1. Go Big or Go Home: Parties on the beach, packing hotel rooms, and constant intake of fluids. Usual locations for these types of spring breaks are Cancun, PCB, and Fort Lauderdale. This type of break is great for letting go, having fun, and releasing some immaturity. Don’t forget to bring plenty of cash and your favorite bathing suit!
  2. Hibernation: These breakers spend a majority of their free time in bed catching up on the hours of sleep, missed during the school year and also probably spending quality time with their TV.
  3. Route 66: Road Trips. What else is more exciting than just hitting the road with a few friends with no plans in place? Car snacks and pillows are a must for this type of break.
  4. Money Maker: We all know how expensive the school year can get, so props to students who take the week to replenish their spending funds at work before heading back to school.
  5. Hometown Hangout: This type of break is basically a weeklong flashback. Popular activities include meeting up with all your high school friends and revisiting your old stomping grounds. This type of break is a great way to catch up with the people you may not have seen since high school graduation.
  6. Service: Two words, mission trip. This type of break is a little nicer on your pocket and leaves you feeling all warm and fuzzy on the inside. Spending break helping others is perhaps the noblest of Spring Break pursuits.
  7. Family Reunion: Going back home, having your parents cook for you, and coming to the sudden realization that your parents are actually pretty cool. During this type of spring break, a friendship between you and your parents may start to form!
  8. Last Minute: The last minute is a result of cancelled plans and/or realizing that spring break is next week! Though little prep goes into these trips they tend to be the most fun. There is no stress to following a schedule, you have no set plans or expectations so there is a real "come what may" feel to it. Plus there is no disappointments if something doesn’t go to plan because there were no plans to begin with!

No matter which face your Spring Break will be wearing, stay safe and have fun!

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
