Mexico: The Ultimate Spring Break Paradise

By Kim Miller

Experiencing Spring Break should be a prerequisite for every college student before earning their degree. We all know the advantages of the basic core classes such as biology, English literature, and math… but the knowledge and experience a student gains from a 'true’ Spring Break is priceless. The bonds of friendship, crazy, outlandish adventures, romantic encounters, and ever lasting fun-filled memories will truly shape and define a person's character and personality. These days of spring bloom an amazing sense of ‘wanderlust and freedom’ that can change a young individual’s life forever. Nevertheless, before you can truly enjoy a Spring Break vacation, you must decide where to go. For true beach enthusiasts, it is impossible to go wrong with Mexico. Mexico offers the most pristine beaches, the mysterious Mayan Ruins, and historical culture. The resorts are absolutely amazing, relatively inexpensive, and they have catered for years to students. No matter where you go in Mexico, beautiful, white, sandy beaches, aquamarine water and nightlife that continues into the daylight hours await you.

Ambergris Caye Offers Convenient Alternative For Spring Break

By Sharon Miller

Relaxing on a sandy white beach with the sun beating down on your bronzed skin, snorkeling through the aqua marine waters of the Caribbean, this is Spring Break, right? Sadly, with most typical Spring Break destinations; South Padre Island, Panama City and Cancun, the reality consists of drinking the night away in one of a dozen cookie cutter nightclubs, never to see the light of day. For those who do drag themselves to the beach or pool, they are so crammed with people that finding a spot to rest your weary bones is next to impossible. Nevertheless, another reality does exist, one where snorkeling, kayaking and lounging on the beach are the norm. Ambergris Caye, a small island off the coast of Belize, offers a convenient alternative for those who want a little more oomph from their Spring Break.
