Anyone who thinks the young women involved in these spring break freak outs are little naive innocent things should collect more data on what goes on at spring break.

Personally when I was in college, I was flat broke and working like a fool in a technical major. The thought of going to some resort on spring break was unthinkable. Didn't have the money and didn't have the time. I can recall working long hours on academics on some vacations.

To this day (30 years later), I have never gone to any of those resorts on any vacation of any kind.

It's all a sign of a melt down on the basic American work ethic that is no more.

Same here. I used the spring break period to work full-time at my internship, because I needed the extra money. Not that I regret it, once I graduated from college and became gainfully employed, I've taken more than my share of Caribbean vacations and have enjoyed them greatly.

Isn't it odd how on one hand, we hear continually of all these college kids graduating with mounds of debt from the high cost of their educations and student loans, yet "Spring Break" has become almost a "right" that not only college kids, but even high schoolers have come to expect?
