Rowdy or Relaxing Spring Break?


As we enter a new semester and are reunited with all of our friends, the topic of Spring Break is being tossed around. From picking out a hotel to buying a plane ticket, I realize that I am going to have to put down a large amount of cash.
The recent buzz of Spring Break is overwhelming. Everyone wants to get their plans in order, so they can have the most unforgettable, out of control week. At first, I fought my Mom about going to Mexico. I would be with all of my SMU friends. From all the boys to all the girls I have talked to, it seems like it’s going to be the “hot spot”. It would be my first time in Mexico, as a teenager, and I can’t imagine all the crazy things that would be going on. Then I realized that Mexico would consist of booze, bars, and boys and that is not the way I would want to spend my Spring Break.
I realized that instead of having a rowdy Spring Break in Mexico, I’d rather spend that week relaxing. This year I’m headed to St. Thomas with my best friend and her family. I am absolutely thrilled to go because I have never been. After doing some research on St. Thomas I have become more familiar and excited with my Spring Break plans.
Usually, I never want to miss out and love being present at every social function. I am passing up a party for relaxation on a warm beach. I figured I make my Mom happy by not going to Mexico and obviously make myself happy by going to St. Thomas. It is a win win situation. Are you ready to get rowdy on Spring Break or relax?

I agree with you here. I am one of those people that will party but would rather spend time with close family and friends. I found myself in the same predicament as you. Since i am so far from home, I can really go home and see people, so I have been asking people what there plans were, and honestly, the most promising plan is spending break with a friend who has to house sit. I mean I lived in Hawaii, how can i not like to sit back and relax.
