Its that time of year that high school and college students with interest all year, spring break.

Spring Break means fun under the sun with all your friends. However, its all fun and games until something bad happens.

Read this article to ensure you have the fun you deserves to concerns that something bad happens.

I would like to promote awareness of safe and healthy during spring break. The vast majority of students will go to spring break, they will have fun and come home safely, but many students each year will be a victim of alcohol poisoning, rape, assault, robbery and even murder.

Studies suggest that almost all cases involve drug or alcohol abuse. The sad part is that most of these cases could have been avoided by following a few common ground rules to ensure safety.

Survival Tip # 1 Buddy System

The contact system means power in numbers. It is a great system when it is in a new city, our country still. You do not know the area and is safe or no.

Spring breakers and tourism are often targets for the local agitators to take, especially since most college students feel invincible (especially after drinking).

Make sure you're with a group or a partner at all times and most importantly, no one can go anywhere themselves.

Survival Tip # 2 monitor your drinking

Its Spring Break and drink natural to expect and party like its going out of style. That said, not binge drinking is not cool and can kill.

Alcohol poisoning is real and can make you very sick. The last thing you want to do after spending all their money on spring break is to finish in the hospital and missed all the fun.

Once again, the companion of the system comes into play. You and your friends know each other and what you can handle. Maintain and attentive to others and if you see someone that has passed its bring back to the hotel safely.

It is important to ensure that do not pass out, if they do, put on your stomach. If your friend is very wrong to seek professional help, not played.

Survival Tip # 3 violation Date – Watch your drinks

Unfortunately, the ladies should be well beyond when there around spring break party.

Sadly, there are men waiting for you to leave your drink unattended to slide a drug of rape in it. Date rape drugs often have no color and no smell and taste, they can get beverages slipped in easily and go unnoticed.

Having said that, at parties and clubs, which do not leave your drink unattended, and not to drink (alcoholic or non alcoholic) from strangers.

Survival Tip # 4 Keep an eye on the Sun

A day at the beach with blue sky, bright sun and carefree sounds good right? This is less you get a severe sun burns, dehydration or heat stroke (which can happen very quickly).

To have a good time at the beach, make sure to apply sunscreen (often), drink plenty of water (not alcohol) and eating food.

Survival Tip # 5 Hotel Safe

The first thing to so when you get to your hotel is to ask about a safe. Most hotels either offer a safe in the room or box security upon request.

Place your passport, plane tickets, money, credit cards, jewelry, etc in the safe. If the value does not leave behind at the hotel.

Survival Tip # 6 Connection

Again, its natural spring break and wait there will be many? connect? happening. If you're connecting, be sure to buy and use condoms. The last thing you want to worry about Spring Break is getting or go home and sexually transmitted diseases.

Also, if you plan to connect with someone, especially a stranger who your friends know where. This So if you do not come home or something happens that you know where to look for.

Survival Tip # 7 Protect-Basic Self Defense

It is important to know how to defend themselves if ever the need every arise. Many universities offer classes in self defense. You may also consult local training and mixed martial arts classes (my preference).

Another option is to purchase non-lethal self-defense, like pepper spray (see with your state to see if you need permission to carry).
