People always hyped up going on a cool spring break trip and I didn't really believe them until I went on one. I don't care if it is the most basic thing to do but going to Mexico for spring break was one of the most fun four days of my life. I could definitely say everyone that went had their most thriving points of their lives while in Mexico. It took a good 48 hours to recover from that trip (mentally and physically) and during that recovery, in my head, I was thinking "there is no way I would ever go back to the insane place." But now that I am back to my normal days of waking up obnoxiously early and sitting in classes that I don't even know what's going on, I would do ANYTHING to be laying on the beach and kissing iguanas again.
My best friends in Boulder were just on their spring break trip and they went to Cabo too. Anytime I saw a picture, snap chat, or text from them my heart broke a little. I WANT TO BE BACK IN MEXICO TOO. Ugh, I was so jealous and died a little every time I saw any picture of someone on the beach. I really thought I would need a break from a Spring Break trip but now being back in normal life I want to go back right now.
I actually miss the sketchy food that we ate at our hotel now that I am back to normal tasting food. I can confidently say I had quesadillas for every single meal and I would do anything for one right now. Throughout the trip, we all had some stomach pains from the food but I would push through the pains if I could go back right now.
With April being one of the most STRESSFUL months of the semester, all I can think about is the no worries, carefree feeling I had the entire break. I didn't worry about one thing the whole four days, I mean how could I? I didn't think about my real life at all. It didn't cross my mind once that I had to actually go back to school, stress, and normal life again. Is it possible to just pack up everything and live in an all inclusive hotel for the rest of your life?
Coming back to the bipolar Colorado weather made me instantly miss being in my bathing suit every single day and getting tan. Maybe I should start a trend and start wearing my bathing suit to class? It was so nice waking up and knowing exactly what the weather was going to be, unlike here you wake up and don't know if it's going to be a blizzard or 80 degrees.
Carrying around my annoying backpack all day filled with stupid educational things makes me miss carrying around my fanny pack filled with only a stick of sunscreen and my sunglasses. UGH, the struggle. Also, I miss being woken up by my screaming friends at 7 in the morning compared to my loud and depressing alarm on my phone.
I will forever question how all of us made it out of spring break alive. For anyone who hasn't gone on a spring break trip, I HIGHLY recommend it. We may have lost our dignities, but we gained some of the best memories. RIP spring break 2017, you will be missed. Have I already started planning next years trip? Of course.
