Making Spring Break last

Oh! Spring Break, how I love thee! Let me count the ways! You are the best time of year because you bring about some of the greatest things this world has to offer: Hot girls and, of course, wet t-shirts! Well, no. Okay, yes, but that is neither here nor there. Don't get me wrong, I love a chick in a wet t-shirt, but that is not how to make Spring Break last. So what does make Spring Break what it is? What are some of the greatest things about Spring Break that make it so wonderful and so seemingly long?
Spring Break for me is sitting in a hammock, sipping an ice cold beer, getting a little drunk and enjoying the fact that I get to spend some well deserved time relaxing. For me, a graduating senior, I am just counting the days until I get to bid this school farewell for my undergrad work. But this last semester before I decide that I am done, I'm taking this last Spring Break to cherish the time I have left.
I think back to my childhood of listening to the relaxing tunes of movies like "Endless Summer" back in the 70s. Those surf tunes are absolutely soothing and relaxing. I just want to crank that while allowing the alcohol to permeate within me, creating the perfect feeling of a complete lack of care. But what is the greatest way to make this Spring Break last as long as it possibly can? This is how.
Grab a good drink, turn on some good music and relax. Whether you are going on a trip or just staying at home this Spring Break, there is nothing more relaxing and naturally soothing than just letting life pass you by as you relax. Whether you enjoy the classic surf tunes from "Endless Summer" or something like the ever-amazing Bob Marley, just throw some of that on and have yourself a relaxing time. Maybe even take a few hours to hang out with friends and watch a good old classic 80s film like "The Goonies" or perhaps even "The Adventures in Babysitting" - don't lie, you know you love that one!
For me, I took this Spring Break to get a variety of relaxing goodness. I went camping in Big Sur and enjoyed some amazing beer as well as a swig or two of my favorite rum - all while spending time with my family. I went to Disneyland and spent some time with our most beloved rodent - but what did you do? However you spent your Spring Break, I hope that you were able to enjoy a good time that was just as relaxing as mine - I know it was needed and deserved - so, with that, I say, "Cheers to you! Now back to the grinding stone."
