Christmas morning is one of the best mornings of the year to a child, and as a junior in high school, one gift made me fall in love with a place I had never heard of.

“Fly Girl” is written on the side of the boat, which I didn’t realize until well after the picture was taken. It has become an inspiration to me after the fact. I took this photo while waiting to dock our rented dinghy boat for the day.
From Cancun to Carolina, new adventures to new puppies, relaxation to reunions, or beaches to business as usual, MBU students talk about how they spent their Spring Break.
Spring Break can be an exciting time. College students all across the country are preparing to go on trips with their friends. What are your plans for the week off in March? Are they going to be everything you hope they will be?
Whether it’s Spring Break or summer vacation, if you are looking for a world where time slows down and things are just a bit simpler, then think about traveling east to the beautiful lowlands of South Carolina.
