Hey... It Was Spring Break

SPRING BREAK 2010

With the sunny days just looming around the corner, many students are practically giddy with excitement. And why shouldn’t they be? Spring Break is a time to get away from all of the hassles of schoolwork and normal life. It’s a time to get a little wild and crazy for a week. Being in college can cause a great deal of stress on most students and Spring Break is a well deserved relief.

So I’m here today to provide you all with some expert advice on how to have a SAFE and FUN Spring Break…

1. Always use the buddy system.
2. Staying in groups helps too.
3. Make sure you are always with people you can trust.
4. Always apply sunscreen before long hours in the sun.
5. Not everybody has a super model body like these sexy ladies, so please choose a swimsuit that is both tasteful and fashionable.
6. Don’t do anything that your mother wouldn’t be too proud of.

Most of all have fun this Spring Break. Wherever you decide to go, realize that you are only this young for a short period in your life. This is the prime time folks. The big leagues. This is the only truly acceptable time to make huge mistakes and get away with it completely by simply shrugging and saying, “Hey… it’s Spring Break….”

Soon you will all be in that awkward phase, when you are at the beach party and everybody is kind of staring at you, saying to their friend, “that creepy guy over there is like 40 years old,” and your Spring Breaking days will be over for good. Have fun sipping that piña colada by yourself at the end of the bar staring at the young babes you creepy shit.

So now I end this post by saying get out there and live it up this Spring Break and go do something stupid and regrettable…

Just remember, what happens on Spring Break, stays on Spring Break… Actually no it doesn’t, people are always taking pictures and that stuff will be up on Facebook the next day. It will make a good story, though. But hey… it was Spring Break.

Lax Bros, What the Hell?

Growing up in the Midwest, the only thing I knew about lacrosse was that it was a game played with some sticks with nets and a ball. That and some lacrosse players at Duke allegedly raped a girl at a party. So that’s the only reputation I had of the lax bros before coming to college in Texas. And who knew it would be such a popular sport here where football reigns supreme?

I may just be speaking through ignorance here, but what the hell is wrong with lacrosse players? They swoop in from the new england prep schools talking all about how sweet their wands are and what type of head is best for their shafts and where to get the best pocket pounder for their stick. It all just seems to be a little bit too weird for me.

They say that 90% of lax is in the flow. Now if you don't know what "flow" is, then don't be too worried. I had never heard this term before either, so I did my research. According to urbandictionary.com, flow is described as "the style and essence of a True Lax Bro. It is usually referred to as long, wavy or curly hair, which can give someone flow, however, flow can also be attained by the equipment and uniform of a player (calf socks, knee length shorts). More importantly flow comes from the style of a player's game; if a player always makes sloppy plays or is a ball hog they are lacking flow, but if a player can make plays and pick corners he has flow."

So the lax bro necessities include:

- Sick Flow (obviously), the longer the better, wavy "lettuce" (hair that sticks out of the back of the helmet) is a must
- Backwards college hat, flat-billed preferably
- Pastel colored button-down shirts
- A nice pocket pounder
- College lax pinnies
- Turf shoes with mid-calf socks
- A sweet pair of shades
- Lax stick NEVER leaves their grip
- And Sick Flow... again, because it is the most important
