Every college student looks forward to their spring break. Whether it's spending time with family, taking a trip to somewhere tropical, or being lazy and doing nothing all day, most of us could not survive without this week-long break in the middle of the semester. However, if you're an athlete, spring break is nothing like you probably imagined.
1. You spend the whole time with your team, not your family.
2. You wake up early for practices in disgusting heat.
3. You traveled somewhere warm just to play a sport.
4. The teams you played were from the same region as you.
5. You're used to driving in a 15-person van everywhere.
6. The van smells like everyone's cleats after the first day.
7. You were "on vacation" and the only tan you got is from your mid-calves and jersey
.
8. Twenty-three-person dinner reservations are normal.
9. You've never been happier than when coach says you can get ice cream.
10. You wouldn't have wanted to spend your break any other way.
