Break getaway has been an American tradition. In 1936, Fort Lauderdale, Florida became the first Spring Break destination. When MTV decided to film their inaugural Spring Break special from Daytona Beach in 1986, a new hot spot was established, and up to 200,000 students began to flock to the Daytona scene year after year.

Brit, Candy, Cotty, and Faith are four college girls who will stop at nothing to fund their Spring Break getaway. A chance encounter with rapper “Alien” promises to provide the girls with all the thrills and excitement they could hope for, and leads them on a Spring Break they never could have imagined. Spring Break Guide’S INTERVIEWS with the Director & Cast: HARMONY KORINE (director/writer) Who was cast first? It was James Franco first, and then the girls. James and I talked about making a movie together for quite a while. Usually I write my scripts first and people read it afterwards, but for this one I just wrote a treatment during Christmas and sent it to James Franco asking him whether he wanted to play this character. He wrote back immediately and said ‘yes’. And that was it. I was excited about that idea and the character, so I flew to Florida—Spring Break was actually taking place at that time—and wrote the script in a hotel, while a bunch of kids were vomiting on my porch. JAMES FRANCO In the movie, didn’t you have to perform as a rapper in front of a huge Spring Break crowd? I mean I’m not a rapper! (Laughs) I have never really done anything like that before, certainly not in front of that many people in an MTV style rap show. But I guess I am at the point where I feel like I know when I am on a movie where I am supported. I know Harmony is going to capture that in the best way. And yes, I was up there rapping in front of people and I had an audience, but even if I’m not 50 Cent, Harmony is going to put it together in such a way that I will look as good as possible.

SELENA GOMEZ What was your perception of Spring Break and real Spring Breakers before connecting with Harmony’s ideas? It was everything that I expected. I had a picture of what Spring Break was in my mind and you see it in videos and how they are completely crazy, and then you are actually in it and you witness it and it is intense. I definitely expected it, there were a few things that Harmony did that were wild, beautiful and fun and I didn’t know could be done, but I kind of expected it to be that crazy. VANESSA HUDGENS How did you prepare for the role in Springbreakers? It starts, honestly, just reading the script. One of the first things we did was to get close to the girls right away, because we wanted to build an amazing bond and relationship, have a feel that we had known each other for years. And then go further past that of course and study girls who are just hard and rough and tough and who are in this other crazy world. It really is a completely different world, their headspaces are so different. They’re just living in the moment. ASHLEY BENSON What was it like to experience real Spring Break on set? Apparently you shot a lot of scenes with real people… We just filmed this huge scene and it was crazy. You know, when you’re in the moment and you’re in the scene,

it’s like whatever, go for it, because that’s what really happens. Afterwards I thought, “Wow oh my God, this is insane!” But I asked the extras, “So what are you guys doing?” And they said, “Oh, we go to college, but we want to be in a movie and it’s Spring Break so why not?” (Laughs) And they were all on Spring Break and they were just doing everything they would do if they weren’t in the movie so it was literally being put into some random party and then Harmony bringing out the camera. It was pretty insane.

RACHAEL KORINE What was your perception of real Spring Breakers and how do you relate your impression of that very specific and accentuated American culture to Harmony’s idea? Definitely the girls and the interaction between the cast seems pretty true to a group of friends that would go on Spring Break. Girls that are just really thirsty for that debauchery and the attention. It makes sense in that world. And then meeting someone like the “Alien” character, that’s sort of when the fantasy starts to happen. Don’t miss this “wild ride” of a movie, featuring a hot original score by Cliff Martinez and Skrillex and a cast including rap star Gucci Mane. Spring Breakers opens nationwide in Spring 2013.

his spring, a vast number of college students will be faced with the decision of whether or not to become a Potential New Member (PNM) of a sorority or fraternity— otherwise known as “going Greek.” If you become involved in a Greek organization, you will come to realize the membership within a Sorority or Fraternity is more about building relationships and creating networks than it is about organized partying (although there is usually a lot of that, too!). Greek organizations are commited not only to social engagements, but also to fundraising for reputible organizations, as well as academic excellence. How does one know if the Greek life is the right way to go? Before rushing into the decision, consider that there are usually multiple Greek organizations on campus, and

they’re all very different. The first group you meet may not necessarily be the right fit for you, so be patient and selective. Ask questions and learn about the different Fraternity/ Sorority houses before making your decision. Remember that not all organizations are free. Some have a one-time fee, while others collect dues every semester. There can also be a initiation fee, and don’t forget that social outings aren’t free! Ultimately you want to be yourself throughout the process. Share your interests and explain what you are looking for in an organization. Don’t commit on the spot and don’t feel pressured into making your decision. This is about you and the role you will take moving forward in your college career. Good luck!

10 Things

You Shouldn’t Say on a Spring Break Date The word “Date” might not be the appropriate way to describe a budding Spring Break relationship, but there are plenty of romantics out there who think otherwise. What you say on a date is more important than what you wear, how you do your hair, or what you smell like. Keep these lines from ruining your perfect date: “Hey, my ex has that exact same Spring Break t-shirt!” “ I hope you’re okay with meeting my parents after. They’re at my hotel...” “You look way different than the photos you have on your Facebook” “I don’t I have any kids, but you can’t be sure with all these Spring Break hook-ups.” “ The last time I was on Spring Break, George W. Bush was just beginning his Presidential term…oops, did I just give away my age there?” “Gosh, you know, you remind me of my Mom when you do that.” “Are you ready to get matching tattoos yet?” “Just so you know, I’m on the pill. I’m not making that mistake again.” “I think you hooked up with my roommate a couple nights ago.” “I’m just going to say it: I love you.”

pring Break 2012 will forever be heralded as the year Panama City Beach entered the Guinness Book of World Records…for the largest bikini parade.

The beach destination (also known as the Spring Break Capital of the World) successfully broke the existing world record, previously held by Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast of Australia, by getting 450 women to don their favorite two-piece swimsuits and march a mile across the beach. Guinness World Record adjudicator Philip Robertson flew in from New York to certify the results, and soon after verified that the previous record of 357 had been beaten. The event benefited charity

and made headlines around the world. Since that record-breaking day, other U.S. cities have made their own attempts, including Ocean City, MD and Fort Lauderdale, FL. But on August 19, Huludao City in China raised the bar, posting 1085 bikini-clad women in their record-smashing event. It’s obvious, this is getting serious. It’s said that the Gold Coast in Australia is set to make a second official attempt this January, and hopefully soon after, Panama City Beach will gear up to once again break the record this coming Spring Break.

Will you be there to be a part of history?

ISLAND EVERYTHING’S BIGGER IN TEXAS!

located at the southernmost tip of Texas,SPI hosts A huge Texas-sized party every year! This tropical resort area, or the “Island”, as locals call it, is surrounded by the tranquil waters of Laguna Madre Bay on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other. The four miles of award winning sand beaches come alive during Spring Break, hosting some of the most active and wildest events, proudly living up to the slogan “Everything’s Big in Texas!”

The tropical weather is perfect to compliment your favorite daytime activities. Jet skis, banana boat rides, parasailing, snorkeling and more are all available for rental. There are also plenty of beach volleyball games that are free and a fun way to meet other people.

Getting To “The Island” is easy whether you are flying or driving. If you choose to fly most people fly into Brownsville South Padre Island International Airport which is located approx. 30 minutes away. They also have inexpensive shuttles that travel back and forth regularly.

A host of clubs and bars also keep the party going after the sun sets. Louie’s Backyard hosts nightly live concerts with top name national acts, Hawaiian Tropic bikini contests, DJs and dancing, bungee jumping, rock wall climbing, go carts, and more. It is perhaps the signature club and this hot spot definitely lives up to the hype. Having been featured on MTV, E!, The Travel Channel, and more, this party spot is always jumping for Spring Break.

With the sheer volume of Spring Breakers flooding into this resort town, it’s not uncommon for entire bars and hotels to become hubs of Spring Break activity. In fact, the entire island can feel like an exclusive Spring Break party.

Tips for a Smart Safe Spring Break

pring Break is a break from classes, jobs, and stress—but it isn’t a break from common sense!

Come home feeling like it was the best week of your life; keep these points in mind: USE The Buddy System: Hang out in groups and ALWAYS use the buddy system. Never allow a friend to leave a party alone. Always travel with a buddy in a taxi, bus, or public transportation. If you lose your buddy, ask a proper authority to escort you home. RESPECT YOUR HOTEL: Inspect your hotel room upon check-in and report any damage immediately. Do not hang out on the balconies of the hotel after partying. Do not damage any hotel property, including your room. Do NOT remove your hotel wristband as they are used by security for guest identification and hotel access purposes.

Transportation: Check with the hotel front desk for guidance on the cheapest, easiest, and most reliable transportation. Use only licensed taxis and limos, and negotiate the fare before entering hired vehicles. Always travel with a buddy. .com

Drink Responsibly: Know your limit. Note the amount of drinks per hour you are consuming. Do NOT accept drinks from strangers. Do not carry open containers of alcohol in the street. Drink Water!: Staying hydrated can keep you from getting sick, losing your voice, and prevents sun stroke. Wear Sunscreen: Coming home tanned is great, but coming home cancer-free is #winning! Listen to your mother and use the lotion. Re-apply every three hours—the sun is most intense mid-day, the time when you’ll most likely be on the beach. Water and Beach Safety: Do NOT swim in the Gulf/Ocean at night. You’ll be swimming at your own risk if a lifeguard isn’t on duty. Follow all beach patrol warnings. Pay attention to flags or posted markers on the beach that are used to warn you about dangerous tides, harsh water conditions. Have FUN!: This is your much-needed vacation and it should be stress free.

PRING BREAK

ON A BUDGET

Going on a Spring Break trip this coming season doesn’t have to be an occasion that will break the bank. If you’re vigilant about saving money, you can have a great spring break, without going broke. Take some time to plan your trip, budget your finances, and cut back on unnecessary expenditures during the weeks and days before your trip. Before and during spring break, consider these money-saving tips: Book With the Hotel Directly There are a number of companies that are dedicated to student travel. Booking with these companies consist of you paying a middle-man fee. Booking directly with the hotel, however, means you’re cutting that middle-man fee out. Most hotels offer the opportunity to book online – so all you really need is a credit card and you’re set! Budget Accordingly When considering your budget it is important to prepare for the unexpected, so assume everything will cost ten percent more than you’re expecting. Road Trip Gas isn’t cheap, but driving to your destination is much less expensive than flying. If you’re traveling with friends, you can all pitch in for gas.

Pack Everything You Need If you have to buy clothes, sunglasses, sunblock or other common tourist items once you reach your destination, you will pay much more than you would have at home. Make a list before you go! Bring Your Student ID Carrying your student ID can be very advantageous. Many clubs, restaurants, and attractions offer student discounts. Get Groceries Meals out can be one of the largest – and most underestimated – expense on a multi-day vacation. Bring a cooler along and shop for food that’s ready to eat at grocery stores. Discount Card Programs Most of the spring break destinations offer students a discount party pass which usually includes free cover and happy hour specials at various bars, clubs and restaurants. For example, Panama City Beach offers the Panamaniac Club Card. Daytona Beach and Myrtle Beach have their own discount card programs too.

DAYTONA BEACH

THE WORLD-FAMOUS BEACH WHERE YOU CAN CRUISE THE COASTLINE!

This 23 mile stretch of wide, hardpacked white sand beach has long been one of the hottest Spring Break destinations in Florida. Spring Breakers can take a drive down 16 miles of this famous beach, catch some rays or ride the waves in the Atlantic surf. There are awesome deals on hotels right on the beach and they have one of the hottest nightclub scenes in Florida. If you like to play on the beach, you will love the activities that range from rock climbing walls, beach

volleyball and Frisbee tournaments. You can surf the waves, boogie board, jet ski, parasail and other activities that revolve around spending a great day at the beach. You can even rent a motorcycle or a bicycle and explore Daytona’s unique drivable beach. If you are up for making a day trip, Daytona Beach is quite close to Walt Disney World, SeaWorld and Universal Studios in Orlando. Daytona also has it’s own local attractions like DaytonaUSA, an exhibit that celebrates the history of NASCAR and the famous Daytona International Speedway. When the sun goes down the nightlife really heats up. Daytona Beach has a wild club scene with bars like Razzles, Aqua, and the Ocean Deck all located within easy walking distance from the beach hotels.

Whether you enjoy live DJs spinning high energy dance beats, chartbreaking concerts or a party inducing reggae band, it’s all here in Dayton. There is no need to drive your car to the clubs at night because Daytona’s party bus will get you there safely. This unique, English style red double decker bus provides free rides for Spring Breakers all night long. The party bus makes regular stops at all the major beach hotels and all the best nightclubs and beach bars. For Spring Break 2013, Daytona Beach is your destination. It’s hotter in Daytona Beach!

Cruising Daytona Beach:

An Experience and a Tradition Cruising the main drag during Spring Break is a rite of passage—but only in Daytona can you hop in the car and cruise the actual beach! Daytona Beach is one of the few places in the U.S. where vehicles are actually permitted on the sands. The 16 miles of hard compacted white sand along the shoreline are what make this a possibility and is readily accessible to vehicles.

.com

Beach driving began with racing early in the 1900s, when the earliest of drivers were interested in testing their new machines, and their own driving skills. Early racers competed on what was dubbed the Daytona Beach Road Course, a race track comprised of both Highway A1A and the beach itself. So when you book your Spring Break 2013 trip to Daytona Beach, don’t forget that while other destinations may have the beach front strip to parade along, it’s Daytona that has the actual beach!

Off The Beach SPRING BREAK ATTRACTIONS

pring Break schedules typically consist of two main things: hitting the beach during the daytime hours, and partying in the club at night. It’s a simple formula that seems to work, no matter which coastal destination one chooses. It’s a routine that has, more or less, defined the essence of Spring Break for the past half century. But hey, there’s “other stuff” to do during Spring Break as well. After all, Spring Break is a full week’s vacation! Mix it up a bit and experience some of the things that make any chosen destination a unique place. Panama City Beach is known to have some of the highest concentrations of bottle-nosed dolphins in the world— which makes swimming with dolphins tours a very popular activity while on the

emerald coast. Did you know that Panama City Beach is also regarded as the Shipwreck Capital of the South for its many underwater shipwreck discoveries? If you’re into diving, this is a great way to explore a whole new world. South Padre Island is famous for their museums, specifically The Museum of Port Isabel, which is a complex consisting of three diverse facilities: the Port Isabel Historic Museum, the Treasures of the Gulf Museum, and the Point Isabel Lighthouse. All three are within walking distance of each other and are open yearround to the public. Heading to Daytona Beach for Spring Break? Why not visit the Daytona International Speedway and take part in the Daytona 500 Experience—an interactive motorsports attraction designed to entertain and inform race fans

about the history of motorsports in the Daytona Beach area. Daytona also has the famous Daytona Lagoon—a full-out entertainment center packed with fun things to do, including laser tag, a tri-level go-kart track, miniature golf, rock climbing, an arcade overflowing with the newest video games and much more! Then there are the things that aren’t so unique, but are nonetheless fun and memorable to experience. Parasailing over the open water is a rush. Zip-lining across the beach from several stories high is a kick. And what would a vacation be without a little shopping at the local outlet mall? There are loads of things to do aside from beach bashing and club hopping. Sometimes it’s the “other” stuff that makes your Spring Break experience more memorable.

.com

Fit

This article was written by Julianne Grauel and was originally posted February 29, 2012 on www.hercampus.com

Have no fear! We’ve got a few healthy tips to help you slim down in just a few weeks—because we all know crash diets and exercising your life away in the gym for a few days is unhealthy, un-fun and unlikely to produce any results.

suggests drinking 2 cups of coffee or tea a day (which should be a breeze for sleep-deprived college students) as it will help with fat oxidation, i.e., will help boost your metabolism. Just be careful not to add too many extras to your drink, like cream, sugar, and flavor shots!

Exercise:In these weeks

Registered dietician at Carnegie Mellon University, Paula Martin explains that many popular (quick weight loss) diet plans can be very harmful to your health. However she does offer several tips to begin slimming down in time for break:

before your trip, you should switch up your normal cardio routine. According to Kevin Schultz, director of strength and conditioning at Carnegie Mellon, rather than just spending your usual 60 minutes on the elliptical, you should “do repeat high intensity bouts with short rest periods.”Go hard for 10-30 seconds with 10-30 second breaks. Repeat this 10-20 times for a set. Do up to 3 or 4 sets with a 5-10 minute rest period in between each set. This cardio plan can be done on the bike, treadmill, elliptical or stair master…so mix it up! However, you can use it on strength machines too and incorporate both strength and cardio into your workout if you have time. Just keep in mind that you tend to burn more calories in a high intensity 10-minute interval than at a low intensity 30-minute interval.

Diet:We all know the usual tips: avoid bloating by not consuming gum, fried foods or salty foods. Don’t eat sweets, etc. Schultz

Eat Both Proteins and Carbs: Meals and snacks with protein as well as complex carbohydrates are desirable for weight loss. Consider a veggie burger on a whole grain bun with lettuce and tomato or a bean burrito with salsa and lettuce to take with you on the go.

pains away and you will be able to stay focused and on task. Remember, overly restrictive diets tend to keep your mind focused on FOOD and not your next task, and can lead to binge eating later.

Breakfast of Champions: Have breakfast within an hour of getting up. 6 oz of yogurt and a ½ cup of multi-grain cereal is a great way to get both the carbs and protein you need. How about an English muffin sandwich? Or whole-wheat toast with a teaspoon of peanut butter, an apple and some yogurt?

Or At Least Drink Something in the A.M.: If you are not an early morning eater then consider drinking in the nutrition with a yogurt smoothie, or skim milk latte. Something is always better than nothing. Remember everything is best in moderation, in terms of BOTH diet and exercise. Don’t go too far to one extreme. After all this is your Spring Break—go out and have fun!

Eat Frequently: Eating every 3-5 hours will keep the hunger

S cial Media Mishaps

Have you ever accidentally posted an embarrassing picture or typed a risqué status update on a social network before thinking twice about the message you’re sending? Mishaps like these happen all the time. Whether you’re an experienced Spring Break pro, or a first-timer, you’ll want to follow these simple dos and don’ts.

Facebook has its own set of do’s and don’ts. Everyone posts something from Spring Break on his or her wall. Unfortunately, there’s a very good chance that those posts will include an array of unflattering photos and perhaps more than a few questionable comments. As a student, you might think it’s fun to upload a picture of yourself taking a Jäger shot, but your (future) boss might not share the sentitment. Remember, your Facebook account can be a factor in your future job search and personal relationships.

.com

These same rules apply when using Twitter. Tweeting makes it super simple to describe your immediate mood, feeling, or activity. But don’t get trigger happy—think before you tweet. Tweets are published immediately, and can be read by anyone on the internet within seconds. Don’t publish something that you will regret later. Careless tweets can damage your reputation, fracture friendships, and expose unsavory activities. Stay smart about what you should and should not do on Facebook and Twitter while you’re partying.

Make the best of your Spring Break: DO post fun pics of your Spring Break on Facebook and Instagram. Spring Break is a fun trip, and part of the fun is sharing your favorite moments. Sharing a photo of yourself dancing at a club with white foam pouring from the ceiling is great— especially if you look like you’re genuinely having fun.

DON’T let your parents or coworkers see all your tagged pics, and don’t let people tag you in pictures without your approval. You have control of the pictures you post, but don’t forget you could appear in photos taken by others. Take a minute to go over your privacy settings before heading to the airport.

DON’T post too many status updates or tweets during your trip. Rather than show people that you’re tied to your phone, show them that you’re busy having fun—you’re on vacation! No one really cares what you’re doing every minute of the day. Restraint is best.

DON’T post anything on Facebook between midnight and 6am. You very well may post something regrettable, and by the time you wake up at noon the following day, dozens of friends, distant acquaintances, and family members will have already seen it.

Absolutely DO

have fun.
