She let herself go...: Reason #6

As the countdown continues, let me just tell you that the end of college rocks! Yep rocks! Tomorrow is Dia del Oso, a holiday which is near and dear to my heart. I mean what is better than a random day off at the end of the school year, dedicated to having a good time with all of your friends. I plan to take full advantage this year, look forward to a post on Friday detailing the week's events.

In honor of this love for school holidays, I thought you should know about how much I love Spring Break! I love it even more now because I know it will stay with me forever, as long as I am a teacher! Therefore, as I drink my diet coke and think about the beach a few things come to mind.

Lots of attempts at getting a tan
Sunburns as a result
Seafood by the actual ocean
Cute boys
Fun friends who leave notes on said cute boys cars
Breaking out the spring clothes even if its 50 degrees
Reading a book (multiple in my case)
Not having to go to school

When I was growing up, my family used to go to this thing called the Family Get Away. It was a great opportunity with our church to get away for a few days, spend time in nature, and more importantly with each other. I went through many get away phases. A. elementary--ride my bike as much as I possibly could B. middle school-- wondering what cute boys were coming, then obsessing over them the entire trip (shocker huh?) C. high school-- referring to this trip as the Family "Gay" Away because I finally realized I was in a cabin in Oklahoma while my friends were in the Bahamas. College has, however, brought many more beach trips and is why Spring Break is Reason #6 on my countdown!
