After a grueling season of snow and studies, spring break is the ultimate vacation college students have been dreaming of since January. It’s all about unwinding with friends and soaking up the sun. But let’s not pretend it’s all smooth sailing.

From powerful waves to awkward tan lines, these photos show college kids learning the hard way that vacations come with their very own kind of chaos. Prepare to laugh and cringe!
Wipe Out
The blue waves of the ocean offer the perfect backdrop for any beach picture. After all, how else are you going to prove you went to the beach at all?

Just make sure you stand far away enough from the waves to make sure they don’t knock you flat on your face—or at least get yourself a photographer who's kind enough to warn you of an incoming wave, unlike this poor girl.
Jumping for Joy
When there’s no other way to convey your excitement at the beach, a group jump shot says it all—especially when everyone nails the timing. But the real star of this photo wasn’t part of the planned lineup.

Enter the guy in the background, perfectly leaping into the gap between the girls, as if he was meant to crash their joyful moment. A little photobombing never hurt anybody, especially when he fits so well into their shot.
Lend Me a Hand
Taking a nap under the warm rays of the sun is a necessary part of a spring break vacation. After all, with nothing left on your checklist and no classes to think about, your exhaustion can melt away under a beautiful blue sky.

But before you drift off, remember the golden rules—slather on that sunscreen and keep your limbs in check. Otherwise, you might never forget that nap you took in the sun—not with that strange tan line you’ve been left with.
Checking In
As much as we’d love for our reality to stay in our college town, sometimes we have to take our homework and study materials with us on vacation, so we’re prepared for the rest of the semester that awaits us back at school.

Still, it should go without saying that your laptop should stay out of the sand—and the waves. Otherwise, your spring break will turn into a vacation that totally breaks the bank. Hey, at least this girl has a good attitude about it.
Pack Your Suits
Part of the fun of going on vacation is deciding which outfits to pack. While the girls were focused on their favorite bathing suits to bring, this guy decided to get creative with his beachwear.

Armed with a razor and a sense of humor, he turned his chest and stomach into a masterpiece no one at the beach could ignore. Whether it’s the fallout of a lost bet or just peak comedy, one thing’s for sure—no one’s forgetting this guy anytime soon.
Sister Sister
Spring break and sorority sisters go together like sand and surf, and this group is serving up some serious vacation vibes. Posing in front of the ocean, they’re all smiles and coordinated outfits, ready to make the most of their sunny getaway.

What would any sorority picture be without all flashing your Greek letters, no matter if you’re on campus or on a beach far away? We can only imagine what went on behind the scenes of taking this photo.
