Illiterate Academic: The Spring Break Experience

Fort Lauderdale, FL

Well, Spring Break has come and gone... and with it we 9 girls made up of 5 Aussies and 4 English have successfully acquired a hefty collection of crazy stories. Along with, of course, some interesting tan lines and a LOT more body issues than before (it seems the girls in the Bahamas had hit the gym a lot harder than us in preparation for the beach).

But an unforgettably amazing time all in all!

Fort Lauderdale: Emily, me, Nat, Nicola, Amy L and Amy P

Highlights included:

Spending a day on a boat in Fort Lauderdale, VIP in a club in Miami, seeing my friend Jonny from home for the first time properly in far too long, a 5 hour booze cruise to the Bahamas wasted cowering in the cinema room with Emily, a packet of crisps and a throbbing hangover, a beach party and bonfire, and just generally being able to relax in the sun all day every day with the most fantastic group of ladies.

Low points would unfortunately have to be summed up by being woken up hourly by Megan throwing up into a bucket in Fort Lauderdale, not remember anything from an entire night and enduring a 21 hour train journey from Florida back up to North Carolina whilst sat in front of a middle aged woman who was clearly high as a kite- and not afraid to show it.
