3 Things You Don’t Think You Can Do Over Spring Break

Spring Break is many times criticized for it’s reputation of being “the wildest week of the year”. Instead of being a “break”, this holiday consists of sleepless nights and hangovers. But why not think of Spring Break in a totally different way. . . a time to rejuvenate and recoup! For those of you not into the party scene, or you party girls who just want a REAL break, take a look at HC’s things you don’t think could happen on Spring Break.

Thing 1: Losing the Beer Belly

Vacations are known for being the time to “splurge” on tasty foods and sweets, but why not see this week as a time to jump-start your new lifestyle? With a full week of NO classes and little to do, that’s ample time to prepare healthy meals and hit the gym! This week could be a time where you detox your body of toxins (Processed foods, bad fat, toxic oils, fried foods) and begin to eat nutritious, healthy foods! Try making simple changes such as the ones listed below:

Switch this to that!

-       Bahama Mama (350 Cal) = Mimosa (89 Cal)

-       Fried Shrimp (445 Cal) = Grilled Shrimp (101 Cal)

-       Cheeseburger (359 Cal)= Turkey Wrap (230 Cal)

Thing 2: Coming back Without Being Sleep Deprived

This week, HC got a chance to catch up with one of the premier golfers at Stetson University. Dustin Dingus, a freshmen from Palm Harbor, Florida has quickly made a name for himself on the golf course and is a key component to the success of the Stetson Golf Team. With this much success early on in his college career, he's an up and coming Campus Celeb you'll want to keep an eye on! 

Q: How did you get started playing golf and when did you decide it was something you wanted to pursue in College?

I am truly blessed that I got started playing golf from a very young age, and I would say that my passion for the game came from my dad. He played on the PGA Tour for a short period of time in the early 1980’s, and he has been a club professional and PGA member for over 25 years. He always wanted what was best for me and didn’t want me to be narrow-minded and just play golf, so I played other sports including baseball and basketball up until my junior year of high school. I always wanted to be a professional golfer, but I didn’t really put the work into becoming one until my junior year of high school.

Q: What would you say is your greatest accomplishment thus far?

Flip Flop Weather Struggles? Be prepared for anything!

Layer it Baby:

The best way to make sure your prepared for the day is to dress in cute layers while also achieving that European look. If you notice, many times Europeans will wear layers such as a v-neck shirt, then throw on a cardigan, and over that a jean jacket… to add some flare pair this trend with a cute fashionable scarf with a pattern!

Bag it:

Try wearing a chic oversized tote that’s large enough to carry your schoolbooks as well as a change of clothes! Many times it will be a chilly morning, but warm up to be a hot and pleasant afternoon to lay by the pool! Bring your swimsuit and a cute cover up to change into for days like these and your good to go!

App time:

It's that time of the year! Break out your leather boots and knit scarves ladies! Our fav look this season is simple; leggings, a comfy high=low sweater, and a pair of leather boots. Perfect this look with a patterned scarf!
