With less than two months away, it is time to start thinking about plans for #SB2K17 (spring break 2017). Although there is plenty of time to start planning and figuring out exactly what you and your squad are going to do, now is the time to make reservations, request days off and figure out all the logistics and have a plan for when you head to the beach or your week-long getaway.
For those that work and plan on taking a whole week off, now would be the perfect time to put in that request so all the other associate spring breakers don’t cause a surplus in that particular time off. Are you ready? This is what those vacation hours are used for.
While you may have a few plans up in the air with your girlfriends or bros, it’s best to think about what would be most practical, affordable and fun. If you plan on staying at a hotel or campsite, it’s best to begin the search for your room or site now so you lock it in for the cheapest price and also the earlier you book a reservation, there will typically be more availability. Spring break in Tampa, Florida will attract a lot of families and college students since we are about an hour or so away from the best beach in America so it’s never too soon to start looking.
One good way of balling on a budget as a college student is to get a group of (responsible) friends that are willing to split the cost with you on a room and purchasing a suite that has a kitchen. So instead of spending money to eat out, you’re able to whip up breakfast, lunch or dinner, not to mention you can mix your own drink concoctions right in the comfort of your hotel room. An easier way to book a cheaper priced hotel room is to look on a budget hotel search engine that searches multiple hotels in the particular area you’re looking for.
For those on the adventurous side that want to go camping, while most campsites charge per person, places like Ginnie Springs can be under $100 for a three day trip, including floating down the springs. While camping will require a longer list of things to pack, it’s best to plan early so when you have to purchase things like lighter fluid and flash lights, you have already purchased it in advanced.
For those that maybe aren’t able to afford a week or weekend-long vacay, day trips to rainbow river, Cocoa Beach, or even Orlando to go to a theme park will give anyone something to talk about. Spring break is our time to be tourists in this state.
