Spring Break Re-Do

Now that it is officially more than a week out of spring break we all are wishing we could go back. If you are anything like us then you would make some minor adjustments before planning your next trip. We all complain about how we want a longer break but in reality, one week is plenty of time. Most people can agree with me when I recall saying “By Wednesday I could’ve gone home”. You quickly become tired and drained from a constant go and your twin bed back in Auburn never sounded so good. We have learned that sometimes it is just unnecessary to be gone the whole week. You actually end up needing a break from your break…what’s the point of that? So please work in some rest days, it will help keep you sane and have a more relaxing spring break.

Our biggest trip advice would be to choose your friends wisely. Make sure you are travelling with a group of girls you get along with and that will respect you and the house, hotel, wherever it is you are staying. Each one of us returned with nightmare stories of either traveling with too many girls (in my case eighteen), travelling with girls who get into trouble or girls who are just disrespectful (leaving trash around and not cleaning up).

It is hard to admit that not all your friends are good people to vacation with but you must remind yourself of it. Our last piece of advice whether you are going on a cruise, going to Destin or flying home for the break is to make sure you keep your belongings safe. I personally recommend not even bringing any expensive jewelry, sunglasses, or purses with you. Things get lost in the mixing, people you don’t know come in and out of houses and it just is hard to keep track of all the things you brought. Especially if you are heading to the beach watch out for your pricey iPhones, getting those wet will really put a damper on your week. If you can last a week without those prized possessions leave it tucked away back in Auburn, you will thank yourself later.
