There are only two words I want to say about Fort Lauderdale, Florida and they are spring break! Okay, that’s not true, if I had to come up with a selection of words to say about this amazing Florida city there would be a great deal more, I was just trying to emphasize the introduction to what was one of the greatest vacations I have ever had and possibly ever will have. It wasn’t even my idea to go and I had to be talked into it once my friends had already decided they were going. I mean, I had two papers I was supposed to write and a book that I was supposed to read as well as a few other miscellaneous minor assignments. I had originally taken for granted that I would be studying and writing all that week.
About six weeks before spring break happened I was already burned out. That whole year I was burned out to tell you the truth. It was my junior year of college and the novelty and freshness of the first year was long gone and the rather cocky and leisure sophomore year of one uping the freshmen in coolness was also gone. My junior year was actually more academically difficult and I was already beginning to be worried about getting graduate school decisions made and application materials ready. So naturally I never gave a thought to having a good time that semester though I certainly could use one.
And I can’t be more thankful to my friends for talking me into going in on a cool place to stay and dragging me along on the most fabulous trip I could imagine. Aside from the great times we had on the beach, on a daily basis mind you and also were we met a ton of gorgeous people, we also had some great food in some of the local restaurants. I had a great steakhouse chicken sandwich at a place called Mangos. Mike had a tuna wrap, which he said he loved and Tim had a half pound hamburger if I remember correctly. In addition to the food Mangos had a great atmosphere and the live music was incredible. It’s definitely one of the highlights of my trip.
