Tips For A Successful Spring Break

Tips For A Successful Spring Break
By Kadence Buchanan

Spring break represents one of the most fun experiences that a young adult can have: a taste of independence, a chance to let it all hang out, and the act of getting away from all their responsibilities leads many teens to desire traveling to such spring break hotspots as Panama city, Cancun, and a host of other cities where teens can forget their academic woes. In this article, we'll discuss some common issues that teens on spring break may have and how to prevent them.

First off, it's important to keep a steady supply of sunscreen. Partying in the sun all day can wreak havoc on your skin and you don't want to walk around red as a lobster. A sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher is recommended to help protect your body from the sun's rays as you enjoy your trip to paradise. If you end up experiencing a bad sunburn, take ibuprofen or aspirin to help with the problem. It's also important to ensure that your body is getting enough water: all of the drinking, sunning, and dancing associated with spring break causes many people to overexert themselves without having enough water in their body. This can cause the party to end early, and no one wants that!

It may sound silly to mention, but WHATEVER YOU DO, don't jump from the balcony of your hotel into the pool below. While shows like Jackass have made the activity seem safe and fun, people die all the time from trying to partake in this stupid stunt. If your friend, or someone you know, is thinking about pulling the stunt, do whatever you can to stop them. Many cities cracked down on spring break partying due to deaths from people trying to make the leap of faith, and you don't want angry cops to be on your case while you are trying to live it up.

It's also important to make sure that whenever you go somewhere, you're with someone that you know. Spring break represents a great opportunity for thieves, conmen and other criminals to rip off nave drunk kids. Always make sure that you've got your friend in sight, and never wander off with a stranger without having someone with you. It's also important for females to watch their drinks while in bars, as date rape is a common practice among spring break criminals looking for an easy mark. When it comes to spring break sex, BE SURE to stay protected with condoms. You don't know who you may run into on spring break, and you could end up regretting a one night stand for the rest of your life if you're not careful.
