How NOT to Fail at Spring Break
1. Know where to go for complete AWESOMENESS
Maybe you're into the whole "crazy" Spring Break thing... or maybe not so much. This list has something for everyone!
If you do want to just let loose and party hardy, these may just lead you to your wildest Spring Break yet.
If the thought of five straight days, of loud music, booze, and dancing just makes you want to crawl back into bed and hibernate for another few weeks, here are some suggestions for you.
2. Don't hook up with that rando
There's pretty much nothing good that could come of this. A night of Spring Break fun lasts, well, one night. STDs can last a lifetime.
3. Don't get that tattoo
No matter how good of an idea it seems when you're high on life, livin' it up with friends, and... potentially really drunk, DO NOT GET THAT TATTOO! Need some convincing?

Know how much pain you'll be in if you get one:
Still don't want to listen to us? Well at least listen to this then:
Because somehow that forehead tattoo won't seem nearly as awesome at work on Monday. That being said, if you DO want to get a tattoo, that's certainly your right, we just recommend "tattooing" responsibly.
4. Don't overdo it
If you read #2 and #3 for things you SHOULD NOT do for Spring Break, then this is the most important of all. If you avoid overdoing it, then you likely won't make those idiotic life choices. Binge drinking is dangerous on many levels. We don't want to scare you (well, maybe a little), but Spring Break is potentially life threatening. Stay smart and stay safe. Okay, stepping off our soapbox now.
5. But if you DO overdo it, don't forget these hangover hacks
We weren't born yesterday. We know you'll probably ignore everything we tell you, but this piece of advice you will not want to miss. We've got hangover hacks, and we know how to use 'em. Need a few? We've got ten.
6. Don't eat that suspicious looking food
No one wants to be stuck with diarrhea when they're supposed to be on a sexy Mexico adventure. Here's what you need to know about avoiding this fate while on vacay:
7. Don't get lost
Not only is getting lost on vacation embarrassing, it can be dangerous, too. The only getting "Lost" you should be doing is visiting the show's filming locations in Hawaii! So what if the show has been off the air for a few years? IT'S HAWAII! Now that's a nice Spring Break vacation.
8. Don't get scammed
Everyone wants to score Spring Break on the cheap. What's better than breathtaking bargains and views all in one?! NOT GETTING SCAMMED! Look out for these things so your excitement isn't taken advantage of:

9. Don't get in trouble
You might ask, "How could I possibly get in trouble on Spring Break?" Well, besides all the drinking and tattooing, here are some other scenarios that you definitely want to avoid:
- Losing your passport: Nothing says trouble like being stuck in a foreign country all by yourself.
- Getting in trouble with the law: Don't even get us started on what could happen to you somewhere like Mexico...
- Ignoring travel safety tips: Especially if you're a woman traveling alone, there are things you absolutely need to know.
These are just a few off the top of our head, but basically the rule for a safe yet still super fun Spring Break is to be smart. You can do that, can't you?
