Seriously. I spent too much time in the AVID editing suite to go on any breaks in college. I was that boring chick who had the keys to the building to do extra work while everyone was off partying.

If you went on Spring Break, where did you go? What did you do? And was it "Girls Gone Wild" worthy?

Avid! I loooooved the Avids!!! My spring breaks were spent in: France (first time out of the country!), where I visited a friend, Ireland (went with my mom and my aunt and visited family) and then, boooo, working my butt off to save up for my RTW

Court

My spring breaks were mostly spent on road trips to various places in the US. Lots of fun, but by no means "Girls Gone Wild" status...

last spring break i went to italy.. it was ok. i mean italy is so damn beautiful but what sucked was that my parents insisted on doing it as a guided tour so we could cram as much in as we could in that week (which was how long my spring break and her vacation was.. which was the otehr thing that sucked). i usually went around to some bars and cafes at night after that day's tour would be over (by myself). but yeah lol let's just say i have a thing for italian guys now.

actually.. i have a week again in march. although i've been saving up as much money as i can for spain and possibly thailand/cambodia/nepal, i feel like i really need to get out of this country for that week. it's like if i don't leave to 'recharge' between every other quarter, i go crazy and i turn into a pissy little bitch that complains all the time about how i'm doing so badly in my classes. coincidentally, i've just come back from one of the longest trips i've taken and i feel great about this quarter! anyway, does anyone haev any suggestions as to where the cheapest places are, and to fly to from the westcoast??? perhaps canada..

oh yeah and one more thign.. has 'student travel' always been here??????

I've never gone to those crazy spring breaks, but every year they come to me.

10,000 burnt northeasterners trying to get laid invade my beaches and raise prices. Grrrrr... Myself and all the locals then switch to alternative beachs for those months.

I've never been a big partiers, give me good friends, good beer, and a good pub and I'm happy as pink. Give me $8 budweiser, loud music, and massive crowds and I'm just wishing I was at the pub around the corner.

Key West, FL twice - Sun, skin, drinking
Snowshoe Mt, WV - Snowboarding
Cruise to Bahamas - Sun, skin, drinking

All except the snowboarding trip to WV were "Girls Gone Wild" worthy. It was a phase and sure was fun, but now when I go on vacation, I'm not looking for the bar with hottest girls as soon I as I land (it's moved down to number 2 or 3 on the list). Looking back they were great times and I made it through without ruining my college career, my family name, or worse. Although I was still paying them off my credit card up until six months ago.

im british but have done a spring break. in daytona beach during my sandwich year at usf in florida.
the whole studying in usa was a new thing for me so spring break was just an exension of that orgy of a year away. nothing too outragous happened over any other events during the year. i think maybe, just maybe it was not so 'girls gone wild' for me cos i went with my girlfriend.....
hmmmm, anyway wast just us, a whole group went, about 15 of us, stayed at this friends beach house for the week. it had 2 rooms basiclly. yeh dont ask. it was spacey. once we got about 15 peps ina motel room, no shit!! the bed was ful up, the floor was totaly booked up, we had a russian sleepin in the bath and a scot in the airing cupboard. beautiful times at siesta key.
daytona, had your tits, kegs, sun sea sand, and sex. but we were wild dogs before that anyway, so no adrenaline increase.
but the american kids like to party, and have fun, no doubt if you can find a good bunch of drinking partners, and there are many, u'll have fun.
p.s if your british, opening your mouth usualy grabs american girls attention. must say americans are interesting.
just to comment on uni life in florida compared to cardiff. well no comparison. swimming pool out side dorms, usualy decorated with several "american babes" in bikinis tanning themselves ready for guavaween or gasprilla where for a few beads you get yourself a glimpse of some hooters.
course tis type of thing does not always happen, but its something which i remember..

I went to Belgium for the last spring break in college. I went there because I was a bit older (spent 6 yrs in undergrad) and a bit more mature than the..."let's go to cancun and get wasted" crowd.

I chose Belgium because I had gone there the summer before, and fell in love with the country...well, at least with Brugge and Brussels. I'm big into art and the Dutch and Flemish masters, so I went back to visit other towns, like Antwerp, Ghent, Dinant, Namur, etc.

I just felt that my Spring break would be best spent on something that I'd remember and enjoy (being 24 at the time). No girls gone wild...maybe in Amsterdam as I met quite a few Americans in transit to Amsterdam!

Yes, I have gone on Spring Break, but it was only on Elementary School!

i just sent a query to the BnA tickets people.. heading to romania next march!!! so excited..

i'm a bit iffy about going by myself for some reason; i nkow i can handle myself (i went to thailand for a month by myself last summer) but i'm not sure if i want to. but screw it! i'm still going!!!

congrats xoom, romania has intrigued me since i was a child (i was a strange child).

i took an extra week one year to go back to berlin. i'd lived there 5 years earlier and was so busy catching up with people that i didn't relax a bit. i did have a lovely 2 days drinking wine all over paris with one of my best friends though.

Last year I went to Whitefish, Montana to snowboard, and sit in hot tubs overlooking mountains whilst drinking champagne. I guess this year it won´t really count because technically I´m not in school...but around that time I´ll be in Brasil. This whole year is sort of like one long spring break, it´s nice.

I went to Mexico on spring break but seeing as I have family there, I don't know if it counts. I usually work but I think that this year I'm going to do a spring break service trip, my friends are all big fans of them.

I like my drinking on the beach but not the whole characterized "spring break" thing and I was in Montana for my schooling so I went north into Canada both times to snowboard. I went to Whistler frosh year, it was awesome, but for my soph year I went o Ferni and we got the most ridiculous amounts of snow ever!! Seriously it was an unreal spring break, it seemed much more like the middle of winter on an Alaskan Heli Snowboarding Tour!!

Usually I've worked every spring break. I think a road trip would be fun. Drive all day and night somewhere with friends, plan some adventure thing like sky diving, eat a lot of good food...Hell, I think I deserve a spring break vacation.

Gosh...that was so long ago but some things you NEVER forget.

First Spring Break I went to Palm Springs with one other girlfriend. She was conected so we actually had a house, car, the works. One thing though... she went to bed at 8:00pm EVERY night because she was a model and she had to get her sleep. I sat by the pool at this mansion all by myself wondering just what the big deal was about being in PS for break. Later I learned...

Another Spring Break I went with a bunch of girls to Cancun. Everybody was in slut phase. No one knew about AIDS/HIV/Skankville. We actually had bets, contests and no shame to our game...nasty!

My third Spring Break I wanted something different so I went to Daytona Beach. It was a mix of the first two Breaks. It was also very diverse with a zillion college kids from all types of colleges. This was over the top fun but I was getting older, a Junior, and I spent too much time trying to find the younger girls in our party to make sure that they were safe...duh!

My Senior year Spring Break was the best. I saved my money, stayed at my own college and knocked out much of my Senior Thesis and my studying for the GRE and GMAT. This paid off because I got honors in my major and I got into the number one graduate school in the country with a rare Fellowship that paid for my entire graduate studies and my expenses...

great question!

The only time I actually went anywhere on spring break was my freshman year when me and a friend took amtrak up to Seattle and Vacouver (BC) because she had never been to either. We met up with a few friends, so it was pretty fun, although hardly crazy...I suppose it was crazy that by day 5 I had a negative account balance and was living off of ramen. (tip: see if you have enough money *before* you travel).

This year I REALLY want to go on an actual adventure somewhere...I would love to get out of the cold and go to a beach. All I want is a deserted island somewhere in the carribean somewhere, is that so much to ask? Oh, and can the flight be free, please? I'm still trying to figure that out...I'll probably just end up driving to the Oregon coast or something. By that time I will be done with both my senior thesis projects, so it will truly be a celebration!

Here in Acapulco Mexico, one of the big TV broadcasters sends a crew to go out and film Yanqui springbreakers going abosultuely nuts on the beach every February and March.

As someone who lives here and is WAY past uni days, it's fun to see everyone get completely trashed. The run on the beer stocks makes it difficult for us locals though...lol

this spring break i am going on a trip! yay! but i wouldnt consider it to be the typical spring break,because i dont want to be drunk for every second of it1 i am so excited though as of today i have just a bit more than 2 months
