Spring break in college is the time you gather your closest eight friends and make the journey from the frigid cold to spend a week at the beach. It's most likely filled with lots of laughs and alcohol. It's something every college kid should experience at least once in their college career.
1. The 20-hour drive there will be a blast.
Jamming to throwbacks with your besties and stopping to pee at random places will seem like the best way to get the party started. Plus, if you’re driving from the North you definitely need to stop at a Waffle House.
2. EIght people to one hotel room means sleeping sardine style.
It seems like such a smart idea to have eight people in a tiny double bed hotel room. I mean, you're with all your friends, and you're not even going to be in the room that often so why not?
3. The morning ritual of applying aloe.
Someone, if not everyone, will get sunburned, so the mornings will be spent applying aloe all over each others' bodies.
4. There will be one friend that you always seem to lose on the beach.
They may just love venturing off on their own but try to keep the buddy system in check as much as possible.
5. What happens on the beach stays on the beach.
Come on, it's spring break—live a little.
6. Everyone from your crew will lose something.
Whether it’s your phone, shoes or your dignity.
7. Be cautious of anyone walking around with a camera.
You may end up promoting some websites you would rather not be on.
8. Don’t be ashamed of eating fast food for every meal.
You’re on spring break, of course. McDonald’s sounds amazing.
9. Allow yourself more cash than you think you’ll need so you don’t have to make the desperate call to your parents.
You'll be surprised on how fast you go through the food and booze you brought.
10. At least one member of your squad will get harassed by the cops, if not arrested.
We all have that one friend who gets a little too crazy or likes to fall asleep in random Burger Kings.
11. There will be sand—everywhere.
If you wake up in a sandbox, don't worry. It's just your bed.
12. If you have a fake ID, don’t even try to use it… because it will get taken.
Bouncers down there know when you’re using a fake, and most of the clubs are 18+ so don’t even bother trying to use it.
13. You’ll meet people from all over the country.
And you’ll promise to remain friends.. but you won't.
14. The complete silence of the drive back.
Everyone has the hangover that seems like it will last a lifetime and is exhausted from the best week ever.
15. You’ll create some of the best memories you’ll ever have.
It’s your one time you can go on a trip with your best friends and have no regrets or responsibilities. Take advantage and have the best time ever.
