It came so suddenly. I’ve finally joined the flocks of conflicted Cornellians both relieved and also terrified that the weeks left in our planners have dipped below double digits. But there, in fine print … Oh sweet relief! The Holy Grail of cathartic collegiate experience! Spring Break.

The highly scientific poll of “Where are you going for break?” yields consistent results of Cancun, Ft. Lauderdale — anywhere in the Caribbean or Florida. The classic booze-and-beach recipe that co-eds have been eating up since before MTV. And believe me, I’m not judging — there’s no better time than now. Eat it up. It’s your patriotic duty to gorge yourself on that souvenir. Take one for the team and take that extra shot — stimulate your senses while you stimulate the economy!
