Spring Break

As Spring Break approaches, the days get longer and the attention span of students at Ole Miss gets shorter.

“Spring Break is my favorite time of year. I’m going to the Bahamas on a ‘booze cruise’ with all my girlfriends and we are going to party, party, party.” said Karli Valenzuela, sophomore at Ole Miss.

For decades, spring break has been about young adults descending on beach towns for sun, surf, parties, flirting, and sex. This year it is no different. As Ole Miss students count down the days till “SB ‘11”, the weather gets warmer and the gym gets even more crowded. College students eagerly try to save up their money and stock up on cold refreshments.

With gas prices rising, a good bit of students decided to stay home this year to save money and catch up on spending time with their family. Carson Eades, a sophomore, psychology major at Ole Miss decided that she wanted to go home this spring break.

“I’m not really a fan of partying and drinking, it’s not really my thing. But, I’m also a sucker for peer pressure. That’s why I’m staying home for spring break, my mom doesn’t pressure me.” Eades said.

Whether you’re spending the week on a ‘booze cruise’ or spending the week with your parents, Spring Break 2011 is highly anticipated by all students on the Ole Miss campus.
