We’ve been waiting for this week to come since we returned from winter break. The week filled with no sleep, nothing but good vibes with people who will become family after this week of chaos, sun and sand.
It is a week that needs mental preparation, because a week without rules, no snow and friends just seems like you are asking for trouble. It won’t be your normal weekend activities that you do at school; it will seem like a movie or like you are living someone else’s life. Things to remember, though, are that food is essential and a casual nap or two never hurt anyone.
To organize the week though without being too strict with a schedule a bucket list should be created. Here are some of the ideas that your mom wouldn’t be too mad about. Each goal should be worth a certain amount of points with a winner at the end who gets a reward, such as free drinks one night perhaps?
1. Get a guy/girl’s number.
The casual I’ve been here, done this before, but these are new people you probably will never see again. I also don’t advice actually texting this person later.
2. Get a free drink from the bartender.
Because who doesn’t love a good free drink
3. Use the opposite sex’s restroom.
4. Get asked out on a date.
5. Take pictures with strangers.
Preferably selfies just to make everyone feel awkward.
6. Bar crawl.
Don’t just stick to the one bar, make sure to try them all and meet all the different people.
7. Meet new people.
8. Ditch the cell phone one day.
Don’t ditch your friends — buddy rule is key to not getting lost or in trouble — but making a day of not having your phone and just being happy with the people you are with would be pretty cool since you are, like, on vacation with them and all.
9. Don’t sleep in.
(Or at all.)
10. No drama.
You’re on vacation for a reason, don’t bring up exes or petty stuff, because you’re just trying to get a tan and make really amazing memories with people you love enough to travel with.
