As the world has become obsessed with social media we must all remember that it follows us wherever we go.  Between Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and Instagram nothing is a secret anymore. So before you go running topless down the beach at Panama City Beach this year keep in mind that Creighton High is right there with you.

I know you are asking yourself how this pertains to The Dating Scene and I am going to let you in on a little secret. Your actions follow you wherever you go. Do you really want the person trying to make small talk with you at the bar to bring up how you went to the hospital last spring break?

To keep this from happening I’m going to give you five tips on how to avoid embarrassing yourself on spring break.

1. Wear a swimsuit with straps. I know that you don’t want tan lines but those strapless tops never stay on. So if you want to avoid a Janet Jackson moment utilize the halter-top.
2. Wear sunscreen. Loads of it. No one wants to feel like they have a perma-swimsuit on.
3. Do not believe the handwritten signs that are everywhere reading: “This city has just passed a law declaring all beaches and pools mandatorily topless.” C’mon, seriously?
4. Do not sign anything official looking. This includes the signup sheet for the Wet T-Shirt Ho of Spring Break 2013 Competition, any kind of reality show release form or a marriage license. We do not need a Stu from the Hangover, Creighton style.
5. And last but not least, at all costs avoid the boardwalk of shame.

With these five tips you cannot go wrong. Happy spring break my fellow Creighton Highers and do as Momma Polla always says, “Be safe, be smart and keep your pants on.”
