Never go out for spring break, because really, High School spring breaks aren't long enough to bother, and none of my family wants to do anything.

I'd go hiking and possibly an extremely limited survival sort of thing, If I had the time.

I'm talking about taking a knife, a backpack, a canteen, some flint, some fishing line, a nylon tarp and maybe hatchet and just going off into the wilderness for a couple days (obviously letting someone know that you're doing it). I've always wanted to do it, but I don't know how it would go without formal training. Sure, you can do it with no training, but if you want to know how to make traps and things, reading a survival manual really helps.

I'm going to stay home, paint, drink and broadcast the whole thing on webcam. I'll spend at least one day tripping. Hit two or more clubs. At the end of the week is a Blood Bowl Tourney. Be inspired by me.

Maybe a little under the sheets maneuvering, but probably best not to make any kids...


To the OP

I second the Xbox idea.


Cool story for you bro, when my family did the farmers market (long story) the people next to us had a nephew who went to Florida for spring break.

While he (the nephew) was there this dude knocked on his door, when he (the nephew) opened it the guy blew him away with a shotgun, apparently he (the dude with the shotgun) did this to several other people as well.

You live in michigan. They have lakes there. Girls wear bikinis to lakes. You can rent boats that go out on the lake. Bring some tents, fishing gear, and gas money for the boat...

Not Lake Michigan. Some other lake. There are plenty up there:

Another nickname for Michigan is the “Great Lake State.” Michigan's shores touch four of the five Great Lakes, and Michigan has more than 11,000 inland lakes. In Michigan, you are never more than 6 miles from an inland lake or more than 85 miles from a Great Lake. From 1969 to 1975 and from 1977 to 1983 Michigan's automobile license plates featured the legend, GREAT LAKE STATE.

Ah I misunderstood hahah. Though if he really wants girls in bikinis my basement offer still stands. It is great down there and we got a big pit for you to put lotion on your skin unless you want to get blasted by a hose.

People here in Michigan are used to cold weather. I see bikinis until the snow falls.....then they just put coats on

Vancouver is good too, as is Toronto. Canada is an untapped spring break resource. Fewer bikinis, but classier women, and a lower chance of an STD.

New York (specifically Manhattan) is good too, thanks too lax enforcement of drinking laws, but its not cheap. Chicago can also be fun if your break doesn't line up with the colleges in that city.

Basically, look at cold weather cities. I went to the Bahamas once during spring break, and while it was a blast, it was expensive as hell.

Also, Florida is overrated. I did that sophomore year, and just took away the impression of "trailer trash".
