8 Ways You Know It's Spring Break in Florida
Ana Simon

Spring Break is something everyone looks forward to, except maybe Floridians. This is because the famous caption "we live where you vacation" becomes a reality. Everyone flies down to Florida to escape the snow and enjoy a little sun. These are 10 ways you know it's finally Spring Break when you live in Florida:

1. Traffic.

The traffic is absolutely horrible. Places that used to only take you 15 minutes to get to now take you at least 30 minutes, and places that used to take you 30 minutes now take you an hour. The bumper to bumper is exhausting and inevitable.

2. You actually have to wait to be seated.

Usually, when you go to a restaurant you're able to get seated right away. During spring break it is almost impossible to show up to a restaurant and not have to wait.

3. No parking.

Trying to find a parking spot is a dread--especially at the mall or at the beach. You have to either circle around for five to ten minutes or give your car to the valet.

4. The beach is twice as packed as it usually is.

On the weekends, the beach may be a little crowded, but, during Spring Break, it is absolutely packed. It is almost impossible to find a spot to lay down your towel that is more than a foot away from someone else. And let's not forget that your usual two or three girls taking pictures by the water turns into twenty (and that's only in your range of view).

5. The amount of teenagers/ twenty year olds nearly doubles.

Anywhere and everywhere you go is populated by dozens and dozens of young people.

6. GEOTAGS

Fort Lauderdale and Miami get a Spring Break geotag added to the myriad of geotags they already have.

7. The streets get crowded, too.

You're not safe from people anywhere. From Las Olas to the Hollywood Board Walk to Lincoln Road, the streets are full of people and you have to swerve past tourists to get to your destination.

8. Good luck getting an Uber.

Getting an Uber during Spring Break is like trying to get an Uber after Ultra or Life In Color. It is nearly impossible to get an Uber, and you'll probably have to wait 20 minutes by the curb waiting for the nearest one.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
