For collegiate students everywhere, spring break has finally arrived. The time has come to put down the books and notes and step out in the newest beach wear with a pair of shades at hand.
Spring break represents a time of freedom and a chance to get away from the responsibilities of student life.
There are numerous rumors about the hot spots and places to be during the break, but where will you decide to go?
According to James Buckner, a senior biology student, "It's all about South Padre. That's the place to be for spring break, if you are looking to have a good time!"
For years, South Padre Island has played host to thousands of party bound college students, looking to relieve stress and have some much needed fun before having to buckle down for the second half of the spring semester.
South Padre Island offers beaches, hotels and celebrity guests throughout the month of March to accommodate anyone who plans to attend.
Junior business management student Tiffany Collins says, "Even though Padre is the spot, most of us have been going there for the last couple of years, so if you are looking to step your break up you could go to Miami, Los Angeles, or even Daytona." Although most students are packing up and heading to warmer climates and coastal destinations for spring break week, some are choosing to use this time as an opportunity to get extra work done, and for some a nice, quiet family visit.
Aqeelah Bey, a sophomore criminal justice major, hears that Padre is where most of her friends are going, but she would rather take this time to put in some extra hours on the job and build her bank account up.
For other students a visit with the family is what they are really looking forward to. "I haven't seen some of my family in months, so for spring break I am just going to go home and chill for most of the week then head back to the Hill," biology student Candace Howard said.
Whether you decide to journey home or go to a popular hot spot during the break, stay safe, and have fun.
