We all see the spring break movies that seem way to good to be true. We never really think that we are able to ditch the school work, kick back, and relax with our peers in the most tropical place. For me, these movies became reality.
1. Never take tap water for granted.
Appreciate the ability to pull one trigger that allows you to receive clean water in an instant.
2. Don't blink.
A spring break trip will seem too good to be true especially when you can hit the beach after a week of midterms. Everything will be way too surreal. So don't blink or you will miss the salt air.
3. Flight attendants work their butt off.
Taking four flights in total during my trip allowed me to talk to several different flight attendants. One of which doesn't have a permanent residence and travels to different places every day in hopes to see the world. They stay up all hours to make our spring break flights enjoyable and safe.
4. Thank your years of forced language in high school/college.
Who knew that all those years of Spanish class would finally pay off -- even though you received a bad grade on that grammar test. You sure know how to ask for one more drink.
5. You are the luckiest person in the world.
Never in a million years did I expect a trip of a lifetime with my best friends and tons of students from my college. I met people from across the globe, shared endless laughs, and a dive in the ocean with the people who mean most to me.
