NWI Region Voted Worst Spring Break Destination for 3rd Year Running

The Region was, once again, voted the worst place to spend your spring. With the unsatisfactory weather, lack of activities, and over abundance of snapchat stories of your friends appearing to have a better time than you, there is no worse place to be than NWI.

Though NWI has worn this badge of ignominy proudly for the passed three years, it was beaten out in 2012. When Superstorm Sandy hit the east coast, many people reluctantly changed their votes to the storm stricken area in pity. Many speculate that the fear of being impaled by a splinter of wood traveling at 80 MPH was the ONLY thing that gave the east coast an edge over the Region. 

Some LC students were lucky enough to escape the depressing grasp of the "219" by traveling South. Students such as Danielle Morang, Gabby Gomez, Nanny Gomez, Brooke Renner, and Paige Plaut had the opportunity to go to Florida and experience it in a different way, through their iPhone screens. "You know, the feeling of the sun on your skin and the sounds of the waves in the ocean are great and all, but the best feeling is recording it all knowing my friends are freezing their ass off," said Morang. "I agree, but the best part of Florida for me is the Instagram likes I get from it," added Nanny Gomez who had a staggering 8 Instagram posts in the short time of one week. On top of all beaches and great weather that comes along with Florida, Plaut was able to find another great quality about that state. "They do pretty cheap skin operations, so I got the classic 'Reverse Michael Jackson' and it turned out great," stated Plaut who won't shut the hell up about how tan she is. 

All the trips to Florida were then over-shadowed by the constant reminder that the drinking age in Mexico is 18. On average, a spring breaker that went to Mexico posted at least 200 seconds of Snapchat stories a day. A staggering 60% of those stories were either pictures of alcoholic beverages or videos of the person drinking said beverage.** 

Though the Region Rats that stayed home were originally annoyed by the idea of everyone posting pictures, they eventually enjoyed it. "It really made me feel like I was there, I really appreciate my friends doing that for me," said no one.
