6 Things That Could Go Wrong During Your Spring Break Trip

Let me just tell you, Smokey the Bear has seen enough and he doesn’t need to see you pee all over your jeans.

Even though your Spring Break should be filled with only fun adventure, things can still go wrong. Here are some things that could, and have happened during spring break.

1. Clog your Airbnb’s toilet

One minute you're just trying to take care of business and the next minute you're frantically trying to figure out how to shut the water off to keep the toilet from overflowing. All the while your friend sits on the couch in the living room doing nothing at all to help you. Of course, this incident was fully documented on snapchat. Be careful kids, you don't want to get stuck in this ~sh*tty~ situation anytime soon.

2. Pee yourself in a national forest

While on a long road trip you might not have that many bathroom break opportunities. However, if your friend tells you to go pee before setting out, no matter how much you don’t have to go, go anyway. If not you’ll find yourself in a desperate situation and with no other choice but to pop a squat in a forest. Pro tip: if you really need to pee outside, though, find flat land. Otherwise, you’ll loose your balance and you’ll get pee all over your light washed jeans. This is definitely not a good look and thoroughly embarrassing for everyone involved. Let me just tell you, Smokey the Bear has seen enough and he doesn’t need to see you pee all over your jeans.

3. Lose your sole at a beach

It’s all fun and games until you look down and realize both bottoms of your heeled boots are missing. Things are about to get incredibly loud while walking on any sort of solid ground.

4. Get food poisoning

One of the great things about vacation is being able to eat all the things, but if you're not used to eating copious amounts of cheese and carbs it might be an issue. If you find yourself with food poisoning get some Pepto-Bismol and just let it happening. It’s going to suck but you’ll be back on track in no time.

5. Get an infection from your piercing

This one goes out to one of my pals. Maybe you shouldn't have gotten your nipple pierced right before a music festival. I’m sure you didn’t want to spend your spring break with an IV trying to rid your body of toxins. Love yourself, respect yourself.

6. Lose something valuable

Jewelry is small, therefore easily misplaced. If you're like me, though, you typically don't take any of your jewelry off. Somehow I still managed to loose a ring that I had been consistently wearing for a very long time. I’d like to thank Chihuly Gardens and Glass in Seattle, Washington for letting me rummage through the flowers in your park in hopes of finding what I lost. The confrontation with a very concerned security officer would have been much more worth it if my ring had actually been found.

If any of these things happen and by some standards ruin your spring break, don't worry, life goes on. Either way, some laughs definitely can come out of these unfortunate events.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation.
