Spring Breakers Beware!

So everyone knows about college spring breaks. They can get a little crazy. Aside from the issues of people getting crazy there are so many other things a student should be concerned about, health related and just safety measures.
1. Watch out for your friends. There are people who are looking for a drunk spring breaker (usually female) to kidnap and sell into the sex trade. It sounds ridiculous, but it happens. If you aren't found within the first 72 hours, you'll never be found.
2. Some people are out there looking for a way to slip something into your unattended drink. Never set down your drink to do something and then pick it up and start drinking it again. That's another reason to have your friends keep and eye out on each other. If its your friends first beer of the night and she almost immediately starts to act drunk and seems as though she is not in control of herself, she needs to get to the hospital because she could have been drugged.
3. When out on the town one night and you're drinking, partying, having fun and then you go home and wake up and head to the beach. Drink tons of water! You can easily get dehydrated because of the night before and then the sun all day. Water is a major essential when at the beach.
4. Don't forget to eat! Make sure you have your standard 3 meals a day.
5. Take your vitamins. When in an environment where you are around thousands of people, you never know what someone may have that you could catch. So just be safe and take your vitamins.

  1. You have some great tips! A lot of college girls are naive and it's great that you are writing about things to watch out for. Spring break does get crazy and females need to be ware that anything can happen.
