Cheap Spring Break South Padre Island!

Seems as though the President and Congress are doing their thing with Wall Street to try to boost the economy but I know that I’m sure a broke college student. So when time came around this year for spring break I choose the best for the least amount of money. Figure if I don’t fly anywhere it would be a ton of money off the final trip cost.

Luckily, I was right.

If you want to talk about amazing spring break trips, it’s down there in on the boarder I’ll tell ya. That’s South Padre Island the two nation vacation over to the border of Mexico. We’re being coached down to the StudentCity headquarters at the Saida Royale Towers know as ‘party central’ among the South Padre Island hotels and it’s going to be the best spring break trip ever!

I was reading that the place has 5 12-story condo units with 4 tennis courts, 4 Jacuzzis and 3 pools with a poolside bar and cafe! We aren’t going to have to pay a lot for transportation down there because we’ll be able to walk to most of the hottest spring break clubs like Club Chaos which has a club for what ever type of mood your in and live performances and amazing cocktails and brews.

Talk price:

Could not believe that we scored the Platinum City Pass for like $120 bucks. It gets us into the hottest clubs on the best nights for entertainment. MTV Celebrity Night at Club Chaos I’m really stoked for, because along with being on the guest list myself, it also includes the celebs like Lupe Fiasco, Vanilla Ice, Ludacris, the MTV Real World cast, and more. This stuff truly goes beyond your casual spring break activities!

Top 7 Unhealthy Things to NOT do on Spring Break

So, here's how it goes. If you were to surf the Internet and look for articles about spring break, there are a ton of options that you have about what you can do on spring break. But, there are very few articles on what one should NOT do on spring break. Here are some thoughts that we put together which finally culminated into the top 10 things that you should NOT do on Spring Break.

7. Getting Dehydrated : It's possible that the party environment will get you in the groove and so much so that you'll forget that it's warm on your Cancun Spring Break and that beer that you've been sipping on the beach or while sitting in that hot tub will dehydrate you.

How does that happen? Well, hot tubs will increase body temperature which in turn will result in dehydration, light-headedness, weakness and nausea, according to the Smart Risk Web site. To avoid these symptoms, keep hydrated by not soaking in hot tubs with beer for hours at a time on your spring break trip and not drinking too much in the hot sun which as we know will cause you to get dizzy. Chill out literally.

6. Getting injured : Broken limbs, skull fractures, concussions are common stories that one hears about other during spring break .So, what's the deal here. you're at the beach and you're supposedly having a good time. so, why do you have to prove that you're THE surfer dude of all time by riding that huge wave doesn't quite make sense. Ditto for trying to show the girls that you're the kind when it comes to skiing or snowboarding.

Some sober statistics. More than 100,000 people get into some injury or the other and we're not talking about the band-aid type here. But, the problem is acute. People do get injured during their vacation by doing stupid things. So, take it easy and pace yourself. You are, after all, on vacation.

5. Burst your eardrums : It's spring break and in all probability, you're going to be hanging out at a beach and doing stuff in the water. In which case, we'd recommend that you take it a bit easy. Don't just look for the highest diving point and jump into the water directly - the result will be a ruptured eardrum and you will experience a sharp pain along with ringing in your ear. you'll get internal bleeding, dizziness and partial hearing loss. this is what's specified in the University of Iowa health website.


4. Getting Sunburned : You have to be careful here. There's a reason why sunburn can be so harmful and fatal in some cases. Use common sense here - sure, you want that tan on you that you can show off to all your friends and get the thumbs up on how awesome you look. But, don't take it to ridiculous levels by get sunburned beyond recognition and looking like a well-done pancake. Use sunscreen and use at least SPF 35 - the higher the better. Do not assume that because the sky appears overcast or it slightly cool that the sun wont affect you.

Sunburn turns the skin red two to six hours after sun exposure, and the peak effects of the burn are usually 12 to 24 hours after exposure, according to eMedicineHealth.com. and, another thing is that you could have permanent damage from a bad bad sunburn. That fact itself should be enough to pour on the sunscreen and make sure that you have a sunny spring break and not a sunburned spring break.


3. Staying Up all Night : Ok, so we know that a spring break vacation is supposed to be a spring break party that never stops, but if you stay up all night, you will be doing some serious damage to your immune system. Sleep deprivation weakens your immune system and so you might even catch somehting at that exotic location that you;'re spending your spring break at. Relax, take it easy. You dont need to stay up all night and then appear like a zombie next day on the beach. the last thing people want is a zombiefied version of you on the beach.

2. Alcohol Poisoning : Don't binge drink like a moron. Sure, your peers will egg you on and for some unknown reason, it is assumed that the more alcohol you consume the greater is your coolness factor. We don't buy it. Social drinking is supposed to be fun and not idiotic to the point where you drink so much that you vomit and fall ill and have a splitting headache and to get to the point, have a fatal emergency like getting alcohol poisoning. This is a medical emergency and kills far too many young people each year. If you're drinking, drink moderately and stay with your group. Try to have at least one designated driver or chaperon for the night and switch that role with someone else in your group the next night. but, be responsible.

Excessive alcohol use, defined as binge drinking or drinking excessively, is the third leading lifestyle-related cause of death each year in the United States, according to the CDC Web site.

1. Returning with an STD : If you have to engage in sexual activity, make sure that you use condoms. There's no exception to this rule. else you could be returning home with more than just a spring break experience and have an STD in tow. Or have an unplanned pregnancy. Be repectful of your body and where it's going. Even if your boyfriend or girlfriend will never know, sleeping with someone when first meeting is a bad idea. Think about this for a second : If someone you don't even know will have sex with you on your first meeting, don't you suppose they've done this with other people? If you are going to engage in risky behavior, use condoms.

The only way to completely avoid transmission of STDs is to abstain from sex. However, when used correctly, male latex condoms are effective in reducing the risk of transmission, according to the CDC Web site.

Tripvite - The New and Easy way to invite friends on Spring Break!

Spring Break is one of the largest college pastimes and setting up a trip can be very time consuming through getting all your friends involved, finding hotels, plane tickets, parties, and getting everyone to decide on a location the most difficult of all, which is why StudentCity has created Tripvite.

Tripvite is the quickest and easiest way for college students to invite their friends on a Spring Break trip because “it’s not where you go on Spring Break it’s who you go with!” Students pick a location, package, date of their school Spring Break and then simply invite all of their friends allowing them to see who wants in and who doesn’t.

If that doesn’t summarize the ease of planning a Spring Break vacation, what would? This Spring Break in 2009, students can prepare to have an unforgettable time with all their friends simply because using the Tripvite, they can get friends together through the click of a button for a Spring Break trip without forgetting someone. They can also send it to their entire university if they really want to promote the trip.

So, how does this ‘Tripvite’ widget work exactly? Here are the simple steps listed below:

1. Build a trip:

They can create the perfect Spring Break trip that won’t leave them dead broke by choosing what deals are the best price for their needs. The student can choose the destination, hotel, and party package all depending on his/her friend’s specific budget. Also by getting 16 friends to join, StudentCity will send that student for free just for organizing it!

2. Send everyone the trip details:

After completing step one it is now time to get the word out. Students send it to all their friends; they send it to more friends and so on. Soon everyone will know what the hot spot will be for Spring Break 2009 at their school and decide if they are in. The process takes a couple of minutes and emails are sent asking them to check out all the plans for Spring Break.

3. How to manage the invite list:

Once the email is sent, the student will be able to check out who wants to go and who doesn’t. So, if they are trying to get a large group together, the Tripvite serves as an amazing tool. Plus, the more people that student gets to book the trip, the bigger the discount you can get!

In conclusion, this new Tripvite will help students get in touch with friends to organize their Spring Break in the matter of minutes without spending too much time gathering people and more time studying for what they are actually going to school for.
