Taking a spring break trip with your best friends is a necessity to do at least once during your college career. It could be either costing their home town or your or going on a big trip such as Florida or a cruise. Here is a list of five reasons why going on spring break is a MUST.

  1. It is a stress reliever. This is your chance to take a break from all the work from school and all the stress that is going on in your life.

  2. Warm weather. This is an opportunity to escape the cold (like me since I go to school in upstate NY)

  3. New friends. You could make new friends from other colleges while you are on vacation. Who knows, maybe that could lead to spring break trips with them in the future.

  4. Cheap flights (Catch flights not feelings). You could use airline comparison sites to find flights that are not as expensive as they would be normally.

  5. The most important reason: the bonding and memories.

There are only four years of college, why not use that week off to go on a little vacation with your friends that you will remember for the rest of your life?

Meet Bianca, I am currently a Junior at Utica College in Utica, NY.  I am a Criminal Justice major with a concentration in Homeland Security.  Crime investigation has always been something that interests me.  I’m dedicated and passionate and it’s hard for me to quit things. I get that from my father so don’t hold it against me- he was a veteran and police officer for 20 years.   Growing up in a family centered around law enforcement has helped guide me in this direction, and I will forever be grateful.  After graduation I intend to continue on to law school where I can further my education in hopes of becoming a criminal defense lawyer and later on a District Attorney.  An interesting fact about myself is that I found the passion to be a criminal defense lawyer from watching the O.J. Simpson case.  The facts and conspiracy theories evoked a whole new passion behind criminal investigation that I intend to use in my future.  One of my most prominent moments in my writing career was when I wrote for an online magazine and had my most prevalent article hit 1.6k shares.  I believe in treating people with the same kind of respect and manners you would expect in return, and in a way it has helped shaped my expectations in life.   When you first meet me I won’t be the loudest in the room or the center of attention, but I will be intently listening to everything you say, for what you have to say may have a purpose. I believe in purpose. I believe that everyone is here to help you grow into who you are today and who you will be tomorrow.
