Question Posted Tuesday December 20 2005, 10:58 pm
Ever since sophomore year in high school a group of friends and I have always gone to South Padre for spring break. We're all sophomores in college now so this year is going to be our 5th. Well I have another friend that isn't apart of our group and she's going to Italy for spring break this year and asked me to come along.
Now, I'm not sure who to go with. I know what you're thinking though, "Italy, what an opportunity" But, I just went over the summer so it's not like a big deal. So should I just say no and go to South Padre?

Or does this new person seem more important. I advise you to pick VERY carefully. Your friends are expecting you, or did you tell them about the other offer? If you think they'll understand about you going to itlay, and you like this new girl, and aren't just hanging out with her for kicks, then by all means, go to italy, but if this group of friends won't understand, and they are really close, then you should keep your plans to them. But offer the new girl, or even ask her if your friends can go with you two. I am guessing that either way, it'll be a tough decision, but if they understand, you have picked some awesome friends!

On the other hand if you said you'd go to Italy first, then you need to follow through. On the surface, I'd probably just go to South Padre. [ kevin1986's advice column | Ask kevin1986 A Question ]

I mean, IT'S A TRADITION! =) Traditions rock and they shouldn't be broken. Hmm..ever thought of inviting her to South Padre too? That way she won't get hurt as much when you say no. Just a thought =)

I definitely think you should stick to South Padre. It's like a tradition, and sooner or later, yall are going to get married & have kids -- then those traditions will be no more. I know that, that might not be for a while but in the same sense. You might miss out on A LOT with your friends. =] [ naimee's advice column | Ask naimee A Question ]

Go whichever way you think will be the most fun. Most likely that would be with those who you have known the longest and are most comfortable with.
It will be fun either way I'm sure! Have you asked her to join your other group in south Padre?
mn731 answered Wednesday December 21 2005, 12:26 am: I think you should go to South Padre and keep the tradition going...If you go to Italy with the friend that you aren't quite as friends with, it won't be as fun..right? Also, since you already went this summer, why waste another thousand bucks to go to the same places.
