We have all imagined the glorious moment where the wind is blowing in our hair as we walk down the beach and a crowd of people simultaneously begin to sing “She wore an itsy-bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini….” Well, maybe that’s just me, but before any of us can turn this daydream into reality, we must start at the place where the biggest and most important...

Forget studying, paying attention in lectures, or doing homework – Spring Break 2012 is right around the corner and all I can think about are white sand beaches, sleeping in, and bikini shopping.
