FYI
Reminders even your mother would love
Spring Break at last. A time much needed by all of us. A time to relax. A time to catch up on sleep. A time to have fun.

While having fun this Spring Break, it is important to remember to stay safe. Here a few tips to help get you through Spring Break in one piece.

For those of you packing your swim trunks and heading off to the beach: Wear sunscreen, because who wants to come back with bright red “tan” lines? Don’t swim with the sharks. Don’t swim right after you eat (Remember what Mom always said).

For those of you who plan to spend the break re-enacting the recent Olympics: Avoid running into other skiers on the slopes, because that can be hazardous to your health.

Don’t try the black-diamonds until you are ready.

And for everybody:
Look both ways before you cross the street.

And of course, don’t drink and drive, and stay drug free.

Yes, we have all heard a million times that we should not drink and drive, use drugs...blah blah blah. But have we really stopped to think about it?

In the midst of enjoying ourselves, especially on a break, it is easy to lose ourselves in the fun. It’s easy to become involved in the moment and make decisions based on our own desires and on what is best for ourselves.

We need to remember that Spring Break may be our time to have fun, but our actions and decisions affect others as well.

If you are going to drink, do it responsibly.

But have fun. Have tons of it. Party. Hang out with friends. Relax. Sleep in. Play it safe.

And come back in a week refreshed and ready to complete the rest of the semester.
