Spring Break is typically the college student's favorite time of year. They go to different places with friends and have a great time.

Spring Break is synonymous with partying, drinking, and hooking up.

It seems as if every student has plans to go to Cancun, the Bahamas, or Florida. The week is all about forgetting homework, school and letting all their cares slip away with their friends.

All spring break locations seem to be full of bars, clubs and many different contests. MTV has covered spring break in many different locations, and every year it all looks the same.

In these types of setting the atmosphere is relaxed and conducive to partying and hooking up. This is stereotypical of the college students' spring break.

On the other hand, not all spring breaks are about going to tropical locations and partying for a week straight. Spring Break is a time where students can really make a difference in our world. Because of the recent hurricanes, students are looking toward different kinds of spring breaks.

Students are going to Mississippi and Alabama to help re-build towns that were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. The students who go on these trips spend time meeting other people and helping out someone in need. Spring Break is not all about the hook up. It is about having fun, and sharing experiences with friends.
