What I Do & Do Not Miss About Spring Break

Last week and this week a lot of Universities are on spring break. I've been seeing a lot of spring breakers coming and going and it's made remember my spring break days. Since I'm stuck working in the real world and no longer get "Spring Break", I decided to compile a list of the reasons why I do and do not miss them.

I do not miss the boozers. You know the ones I'm talking about. The ones who would get so drunk that they'd vomit in inappropriate places, be so obnoxious you'd want to hit them or they'd start fights all on their own. Let's not forget the ones you'd have to end up baby sitting.

I do not miss the classes. To get a spring break, you'd have to be in school and attend classes. While I was a fan of college and the social aspects part, I was not a fan of the actual classes and the homework. I do not miss stressing over the tests and spending countless hours of taking notes, filling out questions, writing papers and being quiet in the library. 
I do not miss the crowds. I hated that no matter where you went everything was packed out. The restaurants, the shops, the beaches, the theme parks. Lines out the wazoo. No thank you! I'd rather go in off season or the week after spring break and enjoy pool time and eating in peace and quiet. 

I do miss getting to spend time with close friends. Now that we're all out there in the real adult world it's hard to plan fun things around everyone's schedules. 

I do miss getting a quick week getaway that recharged the batteries. It gave that push to get through the winter months and provided an escape from the mundane. 

I do miss coming back tan when everyone else was still pasty or orange from their fake bake.
