Stay safe, have fun this Spring Break

Spring Break is almost here, and not a moment too soon. (Whether it is a few moments too late is another question.)

We hope you take advantage of your week off by traveling to the beach, visiting family, catching up on sleep or whatever floats your boat. It’s been a hard semester; you’ve earned some time off.

That said, be careful out there. We at the Skiff love you guys and gals, our readers, and we surely wouldn’t want anything to happen to you.

So bear with us for a few minutes; we’ve got to play Mom by offering a few tips for a safe and fun Spring Break.

• If you are going to Mexico, pack bottled water. And be careful what food you eat. Lettuce washed in water could also make you sick.
  
  
• Wear sunscreen. We wouldn’t want any of you to come back as little red lobsters.
  
  
• Drinking + driving = disaster. ’Nuff said.
  
  
• And don’t forget: liquor before beer, you’re in the clear.
  
  
• Don’t do anything that could end up on the Internet (or in the Skiff). Yes, your mom could find out.
  
  
• Before you take a picture, ask yourself if it is something you want to remember.
  
  
• This could be one of your last Spring Breaks. Live it up. Make some memories.

OK, we are exaggerating a bit. But our point is the same.

Go out and have a good time.

But, as always, be careful.
