Spring break isn't about simply hooking up. Hooking up is a result of the actual purpose of Spring Break, which is to release all the built up energy from five months of school, work and the winter blues.
We arrive to school in September, and from there we work straight through until spring break. Sure, we have a month off for Christmas, but that is usually more stressful than school with all the family events and traveling. Spring break is the first time in the school year when there is a break that is for the soul purpose of relaxing and letting loose.
Five months of 8 a.m. classes, and long nights of studying weigh on students' minds. This cycle sticks throughout the semester. We are limited to a few nights of going out due to our huge workload.
Spring break provides a week long extravaganza of partying and relaxing without having to worry about Monday morning. Hooking up is not necessarily the main reason for spring break. It is just simply the result of everything that goes on in Cancun or Daytona Beach.
Being with friends and partying are the most important reasons for spring break. Students need to let go of all their stress, inhibitions and problems, and just have fun on their vacation. Besides, nothing is more fun than hooking up and meeting different people when on vacation.
