Spring Break 08!!!!

YEAH!!!! It's finally spring break and I couldn't be happier! :) So I figured I'd let everyone know the top 10 things I want to be doing on spring break:

10. Go shopping
9. Get a tan
8. NOT be cold
7. Hang out with the BF
6. Visit some friends in Indiana
5. Hang out with the old friends in Springfield who are on their break
4. Sleep
3. Go to Florida
2. NOT do homework or anything school related
1. RELAX!!!! :)

Of course, I will only be doing #10, 7, 5, 4 and 1 on my spring break, which is sad-no trips for me. :( But I hope everyone else has an amazing spring break!! :)

After coming up with my own list, I googled it and these are some other entertaining do's (and don'ts) of spring break:



Top 10 Spring Break Activities
Mar 2, 2006

If you're not sure how to keep your kids occupied during spring break, check out this top 10 list from Oxford Learning.
1. Head outside
Spring break is the perfect time to go skiing or snowboarding. Or if there's no snow where you live, work on a special outdoor project with your kids such as constructing a kid-sized garden or a birdhouse. Plan a special treat for everyone's hard work.
2. Head inside
Check out various community facilities for everything from swimming and bowling, to roller skating or other sports. Or investigate special classes or volunteer opportunities.
3. Experience the world
Spend a day at a museum, gallery, planetarium, aquarium, zoo or hall of fame. Learn about people, science, history, animals, art and more.
4. Plan a crafts day
Plan a crafts day. Drag out the paper, paint, crayons, scissors and glue and get creative. Make picture frames, put together a scrapbook or get an early start on a holiday or greeting card.
5. Take in a flick
Spring break is a great time to head to the local movie theatre and catch an inexpensive matinee for one of the latest releases. Or rent a few videos and have your own film festival at home.
6. Host a games tournament
Allow your kids to invite their friends for a video game tournament, then assign teams, create team names and have a small prize for the winners. Or if video games aren't your style, choose a board game or card game and have a tournament with them instead.
7. Have a pajama party
Pick a day and decide to spend the day in your PJs! Sleep in late, eat breakfast in bed and have a pillow fight. Stay in your pajamas all day long. Allow your kids to invite a friend for a sleepover.
8. Take a one-tank trip
Consider a short excursion in your region. Short trips are perfect for kids because they (and you!) don't get too exhausted. You'll save money on lodging and meals, so you can do other fun things that might seem too expensive.
9. Hire a babysitter
If you can't take off from work during Spring Break week, hire a teen-age babysitter to take so stuff with your children. Then, plan a special treat for the family for the weekend.
10. Keep your kid's mind sharp
By spending some time at Oxford Learning, your kids will keep up their hard-won learning momentum, so they'll be ready to jump back into the swing of school and do their best from day one when they get back from their break.

Top 10 things NOT to do on Spring break trips

10. The Sunburn So perhaps you’re a nice pasty, white Irish guy from B-town, there’s no way around it, your going to get some color. (Unless your trip involves staying inside while reading Bram Stoker for a week) So take it from the people who’ve done it, take the extra couple bucks and buy the good sun tan lotion before hitting the beach. Don’t be a tough guy put it on a lot, not just once.
9. Research Research some blogs and websites about spring break like studentcity.com and springbreakblogs.com for tips on ton’s of do’s and don’ts, like this one. Good job!
8. Travel Diarrhea Do not neglect taking precautions of travel Diarrhea, you’ll more than likely be on a plane for hours on end, if you’re the type of person who has little control, hit up the drug store and get some quick travel meds.
7. First Night Drinking The first night you get there, you will be well rested from the long boring plane ride and you’ll be ready to get partying. Do NOT over do it the first night. You’ll have many nights to party ahead so take it easy and do not over drink. You friends will be pissed at you if you get alcohol poisoning the first night. Also, if you pass out the first night, they may write all over you with magic marker and the next day, you’ll be the only person on the beach all marked up. (Then there will be very little partying going on in your bedroom.)
6. Dropping your Digital Camera It happens, but avoid at all costs dropping the camera holding all your photos of hot chicks and sweet waves from your trip so far in the water or in the sand. I haven’t, but on almost every trip my girl has ruined her camera. There are now less photogenic memories for us to look at and post.
5. My space/Face book beware Don’t think that your job, family and school aren’t going to be checking you’re online profiles for all the crazy, maybe regretful things that you did on your trip. So be cautious as to who’s holding the camera and who’s posting pictures online. Warn all your friends to not be stupid when there putting albums online. Also find an online place for spring break photos that your job may not find.
4. Ruptured Eardrums You’ll be getting off the plane, and your ears will hurt. You’ll be diving in and out of water, and your ears will hurt. Take extra care of your ears on your trip, it may seem trivial but there’s nothing worse then a bad ear infection on the beach.
3. Do not loose your marbles! Honestly, I’ve seen it myself.
2. Do not pay for sex It won’t be clean, It won’t be long, it won’t be cheap, it won’t be worth it in so many different ways. Find a nice girl reading on the beach to take home for the night. That brings us to number uno…
#1. Do not come home with an STD No joke, be careful, be smart, wrap it. Everyone will love your more for it.
