It's almost that time of year again. Summer is just a couple months away and now is the time to start planning that long-awaited summer vacation. Whether you’re going with a group of friends or your family, I have places to tell you about.
However, before summer is spring and that's the time of year college students like to get away from the everyday norm of college life and vacate to a sunny beach. There's still some time left to catch a great spring break deal. So let's start this off with a great location for spring break: Miami.
As Will Smith proudly sang, Miami is the place people "party in the city where the heat is on" and spend their time "all night on the beach till the break of dawn". Miami has plenty to offer to college students looking to have fun. First, the beaches are free (unlike if you are from up north and visit Jersey beaches). The sun is hot and there is even the option to sunbathe nude. Second, South Beach is the place to be for the nightlife scene. Wet Willies is a great bar that exclusively offers slushies. They are loaded with alcohol, of course. The smallest cup is $10 and it’s plenty to give you a nice buzz before making your way to the night club.
Down the way is Mangos Tropical Café which offers food and an array of drinks. That’s not all Mangos has to offer. The large dance floor allows you to let loose and have a good time. The stage offers a show of belly dancers, cabaret, salsa, and an occasional Michael Jackson tribute routine.
Looking to pick-up a souvenir for your friends or family at home? Wings is a beachwear store and the one-stop place to shop. You can get t-shirts, magnets, postcards, shot-glasses, towels, and plenty more. Almost everything is below $15.
So if you’re looking to get away for a week during the semester, I highly recommend Miami. Take a break from the books and spend some time in the sun. Need some help on the expenses? Tell your parents your skin needs some Vitamin D and ask them to lend you some cash. Good luck and stay warm!
