You don't know what it's like until you're there. There is no way to truly explain the week that is spring break at the elite Vamar Vallarta. It's the perfect combination of beautiful and disgusting... with a hint of lime. Being back in the cold only strengthens our desire to be back in the 80 degree, cloudless weather.
When your morning routine consisted of waking up and putting on a bathing suit and knowing you were about to have the best day, how can you successfully transition back to school so quickly? With EDM still ringing in our ears, we might as well admit defeat. Puerto Vallarta got us all, in the best and worst ways possible.
Here's a recap of what we'll miss (and not miss) the most:
1. Tequila shots.
Or should I say, tequila and water shots?
2. Pesos.
After a full week, the conversion to American money is still confusing.
3. "Uno mas, uno mas!"
Who else thought they were fluent because they perfected their Spanish accent saying this phrase to the bartenders?
4. Speaking of bartenders...
Luis, Fernando, and Franciso will always have our hearts.
5. Bury me in La Santa.
Mesmerized by the lights and the music pounding through our bodies, we ALL peaked at Krewella.
6. Straws.
Yeah, Krewella was fun.
7. The smell by the pool bar.
Honestly, I don't know what that was but just thinking about it has me gagging.
8. La Santa's burritos.
Some hated them, some loved them, some don't remember if they ate them or not.
9. The "pizza place" around the corner.
Elbows were thrown to be the first to get the large box of sesame seed pizza after the clubs.
10. Never having towels in your room.
I always thought towels were just a normal part of each hotel room...
11. Flooding bathrooms.
If you took a shower, you flooded the bathroom. If you turned on the sink, somehow, you flooded the bathroom.
12. White wall pictures.
Blessed the entire hotel was made of white walls... my VSCO has been on point this week!!
13. Mops at the club.
Raise your hand if you tripped over a mop. *raises hand twenty times*
14. Omelette bar.
We choked an omelette down every morning. I personally think we owe our lives to the one meal we ate each day.
15. Banging on the doors at night.
We're all guilty of having done it and we're all guilty of hating the people who did it.
16. Fries on the beach.
OKAY OKAY, maybe the omelettes weren't the only food that entered our bodies each day.
17. Henna tats.
One guy said he'd give me a tattoo for free. I thought I got the deal of the century until my friends asked why I had pen written on me.
18. The hidden bathroom at the beach.
The cleanest floor to exist at the Vamar... until it was discovered.
19. 11:00 a.m.
Nothing else matters as long as you were ready by then.
20. Getting key access turned off multiple times.
Why did they keep doing this? We'll never know.
21. The bartenders singing the "We Are" song.
Just another reason for us to think (or know) we're the best.
22. Dropping money on EVERYTHING.
If you didn't owe at least $20 at check out you probably didn't go hard enough all week.
23. Decent food at the Marina.
The real food was worth every nasty look the elderly tourists gave us.
24. La Santa's bathroom.
I'm not positive as to what heaven looks like, but I think that's it.
25. Villas.
So beautiful; so lit.
26. Excursions.
If you decided to take a break from your degeneracy to be adventurous for a few hours, it was totally worth it.
27. Olga and her whistle.
We could never tell if she was yelling at the boys or flirting with them by blowing on that damn thing.
28. 8:00 a.m. wake up calls.
It's as if the hotel was made out of paper. But you couldn't help but smile when the social speakers the frats brought woke you up with iSpy.
29. The bar at La Santa.
I never want to knock this amazing place, but who thought it was a good idea to make the bar eight square feet in the top corner?
30. Dos Miami Vices por favor.
What started out as an easy drink to have in the morning, turned into one to never order again without serious flashbacks.
To all of you who have the chance to go to Puerto Vallarta, GO! Peak every day and follow in the footsteps of those who have gone before you.
