    What to get your girl

    June 11th, 2009 Iva 2 comments

    GRR lately guys have been asking me the “What can I get my girlfriend?” question. Before I answer that I have to tell you a few things.

    • 1. We, girls, are extremely greedy. If you have been going out with a girl for less than a year do not get her something big and expensive (unless you have the money to afford something bigger and better within the next few months).
    • 2. When you buy it get a gift receipt.

    The traditional and classy gift is roses and box of chocolate. There is just one problem with that: the chocolate. Many guys do not get the point that you have to be really careful what brand they are, and how big the box is. Here is the problem: if you get your girlfriend a box that is too small, the first thing she thinks of is “Am I gaining weight? Is he trying to tell me something?” However, if you get her a box that is too big, she will wonder if you are trying to get her to gain weight. Neither case is good.

    So here is the thing: if you have dated your girlfriend for less than a year get her something small like a stuffed animal (personal favorite), or the eyeliner she has been running out of and complaining about. You can also just take her out to dinner one day, doesn’t have to be an anniversary. If you have been with her for quite a while you can get perfume (better be a good one) or buy her tickets to her favorite band (this can also be used for guy gifts). Whatever you buy her be creative with it.
    If you and your significant other have been together for a long time, open your wallet and spend a little more. Great things you can get her are jewelry, perfumes, a new cell phone or the best thing, just take her out and let her choose her gift. Chances are, she will end up picking out a purse. But you know, a girl can never have too many things :) .

    Cancun

    So this spring break I went to visit Cancun, Mexico. If you are in college you have probably heard of it, because it has earned the reputation of the #1 place for college spring breakers. Going there just proved to me how crazy spring breakers go. Before I thought those things were just in the movies, boy was I wrong.

    Aside from the fact that I was staying at a great hotel, with an open roof, it was refreshing to see all the college kids relax and go crazy. However, I had the feeling they never slept. They were at the pool early in the morning and at the club or one of the many bars all night, always with a cocktail in their hand. It was never awkward to walk up to someone and just start talking to them. When walking through the resort it was not unexpected to hear a stranger ask you how you are enjoying your vacation, unlike in Manhattan where there are a million people on the same street as you and you feel awkward to stop and ask them what time it is. Some of them even ask you to hang out with them. It was a great way to meet new people and just to have fun, forgetting all your problems back home.

    A friend of mine was there the week before I went. He stayed at a different hotel and told me about how people there acted. He mentioned that they had games organized for them, along with the loud music playing on the side of the pool. Many of the girls would scream “Tequila” and take off their tops after that. Now that is something you don’t get to see every day. Cancun has great energy, and the people there know how to get you in the mood to just grab a drink and just dance, or sit in the sun and relax. 

    One of my favorite things to do after I had spent a day at the pool, and before I was off to the club, was to sit on the sand and just watch the waves. It was just like in those post cards you have seen. Big waves crashing into the rocks, and the sound just gave you that relaxation that you have been wanting for months, because you are so stressed with work, or school. If you are not into the whole 

    p41806532“going crazy” life style you can definitely try some other things. For example I went to Chichen-Itza (the great Mayan pyramids). It was amazing and extremely hot. I was in the sun for more than 5 hours, but it was definitely worth it. If I had more time to try other things I definitely would. They had so many things to do such as scuba diving, swimming with dolphins, making a trip to the island off the coast of Cancun and more. If you want to go somewhere I recommend you to at least take into consideration Cancun. You will love it.
