#spring break forever
Expectations were fairly low going in to see Harmony Korine’s Spring Breakers. Aside from my greedy eyes feasting on the sight of Selena Gomez prancing around in a bikini with her crime committing cohort, I left the theater with a visceral feeling reminiscent of acid’s comedown. In place of a linear narrative, in which the storyline progresses from point A to point B, Korine chose the route of montages to convey his message; in doing so, the viewer was meant to feel the aspirations of its college-aged subjects, followed by the nostalgia of getting old.
Spring Breakers is smarter than it lets off. The film intentionally appears empty in its reflection of college youth chasing the dream of self-discovery through experimentation and adventure. Think Road Trip, Van Wilder, or Animal House, as Hollywood hallmarks of what the college experience should be like. Spring Breakers took the added step of portraying the dark side of college - the unnamed individuals trapped in the endless pursuit of fun, hence “spring break forever.”
WhileSpring Breakers has been dismissed by many for promoting misogyny and bro-dom, it seems the sex appeal was used to highlight the vapidness of youth culture. Having done the whole college thing, I can attest to the sentiments conjured throughout Spring Breakers of “experiencing life to the fullest.” The pitfalls of youthful over-indulgence can be observed in Philip K. Dick's AScanner Darkly:flower children naively partaking in drugs for self-discovery, only to find mental disturbance in psychosis.
Too much of a good thing will surely turn sour. As always, it’s best to take the middle path.

Actor James Franco’s character Alien in Spring Breakers has been called “arguably the most iconic movie character to emerge this year.”
AND the film is John Waters favorite of 2013.
Sounds like he deserves the big prize. Consider that shit.

I recently traveled to Puerto Penasco, Mexico over Spring break and had the time of my life!!! While there my friends and I stayed in the cutest Airbnb, a small gated house located in the actual neighboorhood of the town this made the trip even more authentic.
While there we rode ATV’s around the whole resort, ate the most amazing burritos, bar hopped (the drinking age is 18 *woo woo*) and danced the night away. This was honestly one of the best experiences of my life so many memories and hilarious moments were made. Plus I was able to have all this fun paying less than $100 while there over the course of 3 days. Also, it was my roomies birthday so you know we turned up!!!!
