Hey all!

So when you hear about Spring Break in college, most people (parents especially) have seriously bad thoughts emerge that have been influenced by personal stories, experiences, or bad Lifetime movies. Let me tell you something though that may help with the horrible connotations that go along with "Spring Break". If you have a good head on your shoulders and know how to handle a situation maturely and responsibly, Spring Break trips are an absolute MUST! Let me explain..

A group of 6 of my closest friends and I decided in SEPTEMBER (yes, planning is everything!) that we wanted to experience our Spring Break '09 in a warm, tropical climate. We decided on the Bahamas and spent the next few months working very closely with a travel agent (which I HIGHLY recommend especially if you are going out of the country...it takes some of the stress off of you and your friends and definitely eliminates any sketchy hotels or situations you might encounter if you simply google a country and type in your credit card number (please please PLEASE dont EVER do that!) )
After all that planning the Bahamas trip happened and it was seriously one of the best times of my life. I used to be one of the nay-sayers about Spring Break because the only influences I ever had regarding it were the scandalous movies and MTV shows. Spring Break can really be a great experience if you know how to handle it. I'm going to end this blog with a few Spring Break tips that I believe can really help make your Spring Break a great one!

Tip #1 -- Use a travel agent!! It may cost you a little more money in the beginning but believe me when I tell you the pay off will be that much better.

Tip #2 -- Travel with people you trust and can be trusted. You don't want to be their mom the whole time you're trying to enjoy your vacation. Make sure they (and you) are responsible enough to hold your own passport and travel information.

Tip #3 -- DON'T BE STUPID! I know that may seem harsh but it's the truth. If a situation looks, feels, even smells bad, DON'T DO IT! It is wayyyy easier to avoid a bad situation altogether than it is to get out of one.

Happy Travels!

Hey all!! SNHU Bloggers are back!! Clearly we have been missed :)

This year has been soo busy, crazy, and amazing. Every year just seems to be getting better and better. However, when it comes to school work, if anyone tells you that college gets easier when you're an upperclassman, they are wrong!! Junior year isn't all fun and games at all. The only way that I am even getting through is because I learned fabulous TIME MANAGEMENT skills really early on in life. They are definitely worth while and if you take anything away from my blog, please take the importance of good time management.

In other news, Spring Break is right around the corner and I couldnt be more ready! My friends and I are heading to the Bahamas for 5 days for much needed fun in the sun! NH winters can be tough so the promise of 80 degree weather is definitely nice to look forward too. Spring Break is definitely a time for rest and relaxation as long as you are able to complete all of your assignments before then (you see how time managment plays a part in everything!!)

Well that's all for now!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
