The very words evoke dreamlike images of tiki bars and white sand. Or maybe they hit the bars with old friends from high school. This is probably not the case. The reason behind this spring break drinking frenzy has much more to do with shedding inhibitions. Whether students head for the sunny tropics or the blustery ski slopes, spring break is often just about escape.
Huge men fondle women wearing little more than coconut oil and a tan.
The music is loud and thumping, the atmosphere is crass and nobody seems to mind. A week later, these students will resume their normal lives, trading bikinis for backpacks and passports for pencils. This, of course, is the ideal spring break. While on vacation, students have a chance to let their hair down and try things they never would at home. Being far away from familiarity brings out the adventurer in students.
