Best Spring Break Ever- Freshman year at UT Tyler



Boyfriend and brothers

First off, a word of advice to everyone coming to college planning their awesome spring breaks down by the beach, DON'T do what I did and wait until a week before spring break to decide you might want to go to the beach. No. Plan ahead. And save money, because no matter where you go, it's not cheap.

I did not take my advice (obviously), and instead spent spring break at home in San Antonio, hours away from any sort of coast.

Even though I was kind of hoping for some sand and sun, I ended up having the best spring break ever.



I didn't even realize how much I had missed my best friend and family until seeing them again. And it wasn't even just my parents, brothers, and cousins. My grandparents, thousands of other cousins, and aunts came down to come stay with us for the week.

On top of that my boyfriend even came to stay with us.

It was a full house and it made me realize how much I had missed them and made me grateful for the time I got to spend with them all.

 It's not that I forget how important family is, but sometimes you kind of take them for granted. Personally, my family is everything to me and I wouldn't have spent my spring break any other way.

So make sure you call your mommy, your dad, your siblings, cousin, grandma, step parents, ANYONE you consider family and let them know how much you appreciate them(:
