As March approaches its final close, most college students are getting back into the swing of academia after experiencing a well deserved break from school. Spring break has come and gone but before we get back to the books, let's take a moment and look back on the memories.
Spring break is a huge deal to college students. Every March, some lucky college kids swarm to Florida, Southern beaches, or other tropical getaways to tan, party, and explore.
I feel like most spring breaks are similar for college students. While the location changes, I think most of the experiences are alike. You tan, eat, go out, have an awesome time and sneak in a few hours of sleep in between. With some help from Harmony Korinne and his film "Spring Breakers," I've compiled a list of things that most likely occur during Spring Break.
1. Pre-Spring break: Saving up
Spring break isn't cheap. I mean come on, we're college kids, McDonalds isn't even cheap sometimes. With that being said, a lot of saving and planing goes into organizing a Spring break away from home. (Disclaimer, unlike "Spring Breakers," I did not rob a restaurant).
2. Pre-Spring break: Counting Down the seconds in class before break
If you're anything like me, the excitement you felt before class most likely got trumped by your professor lecturing for 70 minuets on the paper she just assigned, conveniently due right after break.
3. Reuniting with your best friends in an awesome place
Few things are better than meeting up with your friends for Spring break. This can be true for those of us who also stay home during break-- seeing your friends is almost as nice as not worrying about school for an entire week.
4. Going out
Going out and Spring break are like a two for one combo. You don't spend all the money to fly to an amazing, new place with your best friends and decide to stay in. While the "Spring Breakers" girls went to outdoor concert for the rapper Alien (aka James Franco in some serious braids), my friends and I went to some of the coolest places in Savannah.
4. Having to find someone/or something that lost its way from the group
Whether its your phone, car keys, or friend who always seems MIA, something gets lost on Spring break.
5. Making great memories
When you're with your best friends this is just an inevitability
6. Realizing all the work you put off when Spring Break is Over.
Regardless of where you went or what you did this Spring break, I hope it was full of great memories. With that being said, I must provide a disclaimer: virtually no one's Spring break can be as eventful as Harmony Korinne's "Spring Breakers" (Spoilers ahead). I mean, I didn't hold up a restaurant, get arrested, or find myself part of a drug cartel in Florida.
If you're looking for a movie with your favorite Disney princesses, James Franco sporting a grill, and a homage to Britney Spears, I highly suggest "Spring Breakers;"Spring break forever, bitches.
