SB? What's that?

This spring break season is making me think back on my college days and the fabulous and not-so-fabulous but still funny to remember spring breaks I had. My freshman and sophomore years I didn't do anything for spring break, but don't feel bad for me, I made up for it later. My junior year we went to Myrtle Beach where it was about 50 degrees, gray all week and I swear a hurricane was right off the coast. We went on the beach once and got sandblasted, realized that laying rolled up in a towel hiding from the sand was just stupid so we went back to the house. The house - which was named 8 Ball Down, classy I know - was missing all the living room furniture. It was oddly replaced with a pool table, like we didn't plan on sitting down the entire week. So I'm sure we ruined that pool table, but I bet the 30 high schoolers that were jammed into 8 Ball Up did way more damage than we did that week.

My senior year me and my friends Kim, Paige and Sooze all headed down to Cabo. This was around the time that Cabo became famous from being talked about on Laguna Beach (RIP) and the quote "what happens in Cabo stays in Cabo". And for other's sake that quote will remain true. This week is probably still one of my favorite weeks of my life. We ended up getting an upgrade to the nicest hotel room there, with a pirate ship bar in the pool, and a little trolley to drive us around the property. Kim threatened to kill someone, Sooze nearly killed herself getting on the booze yacht, but we all made it back alive and without getting arrested. I still love the pictures and stories from that trip, but I realize that was a once in a lifetime trip, and even if I wanted to relive it I don't think my body would cooperate.

So to all of you college kids about to graduate,
I hope you enjoy your spring break this year because it ends when you enter the real world. Your parents always told you life isn't fair, but I bet no one ever told you life isn't always necessarily fun either. So live it up, don't get arrested, and realize spring break ends after graduation - unless you become a teacher.

  1. Oh Bless Cabo. Let's go back. My other leg needs a matching scar.
