I guess it is about that time again; it crept up on me so smoothly and I am beyond disgusted. You guys know exactly what time I am referring to. That time of the year where we ditch our heavy coats, scarves, boots and cotton warm ups in exchange for those itty-bitty, tiny-winy little polka dot bikinis and sandals. That time we have patiently waited all school year for and prepared for three or four months in advance: spring break. With a mass amount of the student body running off to the pearly-white beaches and clear waters of Panama City, I will be here; pulling double shifts at work in hopes to save money and studying like an L 7 square. I am stuck in Baton Rouge. Unfortunately, I will not be fist pumping to sounds by DJ Pauly D, getting “crunk” with Lil’ Jon and the Ying Yang Twins or even making it rain with Travis Porter. I will be right here, in the soon to be deserted city of Baton Rouge. I may as well act like a tumbleweed and roll around town en route to wherever I am trying to go because that is exactly how I am going to feel in the week to come. But to those who already have their outfits purchased, plans decided, road trip buddies determined, bags packed and hotels booked, please do not feel sorry for little ole me. If your destination is Panama City, the Spring Break capital of the world, be sure to go parasailing, jet skiing, banana boat riding or surf boarding. Enjoy the weather and get involved in all the different parties that will be taking place every day and every night. Music Festivals, foam parties, glow paint parties and anything else wild and crazy that you can image are infamous in the capital. Panama City welcomes at least 500,000 visitors a year during the Spring Break season alone, so deserted it will not be. Try the “Panama City Fly Board”, run into a few celebrities and snap it up, go snorkeling, rent a kayak! Do any and everything under the sun and above that hot white sand that your imagination can possibly stir up within that long and lovely week. Heck! Even swim with some dolphins. There is a first time for everything. Do not limit yourself to the basics while attempting to have a great time this coming spring break my fellow college students but above all, be safe and make it back to campus in time for final exams. Let’s not turn this into the Hangover Part 4 people! Save all that jazz for this summer… if you do not plan on attending summer school that is. Fare thee well my darlings, I’ll be waving good-bye from my second floor bedroom window.
