1. I fell for a prank
“Over spring break, my BFF and I were at the beach walking on the boardwalk, when I saw a dollar bill sticking out between the boards. I went to pick it up, but someone from underneath the boardwalk pulled it out of my hand and we could hear a group of guys laughing. Embarrassed that we fell for their trick, my friend and I decided to try the prank on someone else the next day. We went under the boardwalk and stuck a dollar bill up between the boards, and all was going according to plan until we heard a loud stomp. When we pulled the dollar bill, someone was standing on it and it ripped in half! That was the last time we tried to prank anyone at the beach!” – Kim, 20
2. I tried to impress my crush
“I was on spring break with a big group of friends when my crush dared me to dive off the highest diving board. He said I wouldn’t do it, but I accepted the challenge and told him I wasn’t the least bit scared, and that it was nothing. All my friends gathered around and started chanting my name as I climbed up the ladder. When I got to the top, I started shaking – it didn’t look that high from the ground! I tried to muster up the courage, but I just couldn’t do it. I was terrified. I had to climb back down the ladder in front of my crush and face my friends. They teased me about it for the rest of the trip!” – Hannah, 19
3. I got bit by a dolphin
“I was on vacation in the Bahamas and I got this amazing chance to go swimming with dolphins. The dolphin trainer told us to take off all our jewelry, but I thought I’d be sneaky and leave my favorite ring on. It was just a harmless ring, right? But when the dolphin swam over to me, he bit my hand really hard and I shrieked, and my whole group started laughing at me – including a bunch of really cute older guys! I was so embarrassed!” -Nicole, 17
“While in Aruba for spring break, as I was applying lotion to my front side, my strapless bikini completely unhooked in the back and flung off of me. It went four feet in front of me! My initial reaction was to just stand there in shock because I was surrounded by people. When I finally overcame the shock, I placed my hands over my chest to Kaynaklar cover up, and dove face first into the sand to try and hide. Then I proceeded to crawl – army style – in the sand to retrieve my top.” -Nicole, 20
