Worst advice ever given: To take a bus to South Padre Island for spring break. It was the ride from hell. It was a big party for 30 hours and people were getting sick. The bus driver got lost a number of times. It was so aggravating and disgusting that two people flew back. It’s not something I’d ever recommend again.

Behind my back people say: I wonder what her ethnic background is?
