What Your Spring Break Destination Says About You

Answer: a lot more than you’d think.

What Your Spring Break Destination Says About You

Whether you spent weeks eating salads and working out or just decided to roll with the one-piece trend, you’ve been thinking about this week off all semester. Whether you decide to fiesta in Cabo or siesta in your bed at home, your choice of destination says a lot more about you than you’d think.

1. Home

The FOMO that you experienced all week was torturous unless you live in Hawaii. Passive aggressively commenting “crop me in” on all of your friend’s pics made you feel a little better, but not quite as good as the twelve hours of sleep that you got every night (plus the two-hour naps that you took because being awake for more than six hours at a time is hard).


2. Another School

This time of year, it is inevitable that one of your friends’ schools will be having their “Super-Big-Party-Alcoholfest-Weekend.” It's especially fun because you get to post pictures of you and your best friend with the caption “reunited” like the high school hero who you are. You know that there’s nothing better than old friends who will undoubtedly get some photos of you at your (not so) finest moments and tell embarrassing stories about that one time at prom.



3. Skiing

You had snow much fun, didn’t you? Skiing is a totally classy move and it will probably lead to a lot less untagging on Facebook than a beach trip because you won’t be in a swimsuit 24/7. You definitely know what’s up because you basically got to hang out in waterproof sweatpants all week. Even though you came back a little jealous of your super bronze friends who went to Cancun, a tan something that money can buy.


4. The Beach (US)

So, you packed up the car and made your way down to a condo in the Gulf Shores for the sea, sand, and sun, right? Wrong. This trip is going to be about one thing and one thing only for you: Instagram. You can “throw what you know” in your sleep and probably took some real keepers on the beach while holding your sorority’s flag. You absolutely killed the IG game before your SPF 3 Bronze Goddess Extra Dark Tropical Babe tanning oil let you down when you fell asleep on the beach and turned into a human lobster. Oh well, that’s what filters are for.


5. The Beach (Mexico)

Since PCB is no longer a thing and there seem to be no actual rules in Mexico, it’s clear that you came for a good time. Your Snapchat story was at least five minutes long at any given time (it's a good thing that you deleted your grandma/mom/middle school aged sibling first). You now truly know what it means to rally, especially if you drank the tap water. I hope that you didn’t accidentally open your mouth in the shower.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
