Anyone know those college students that constantly complain about being broke af and can't afford food, but then end up in Cabo every spring break? Yeah no one likes you.

But seriously, don't we all wish we could be on those warm sunny beaches with al our best friends, drinking margaritas and partying until the sun comes up. Let's be honest though, most of us really can't afford it, so we can find our own (depressing) ways to pretend we're actually in Cabo.

1. Go find a pool. Unless you go to UCSB (represent), you can go try to find a pool because nice beaches are hard to find right next door. Go lie out at the pool and close your eyes so you can pretend that you're actually lying on the beach.

Maybe turn on some ocean sounds on your phone or get a friend to flick water on you to mimic the ocean spray. You can also hire some seagulls to steal your food, but c'mon, that probably costs money.

2. Make your own mixed drinks. Forget those overpriced drinks in Cabo, you can make your own right at home! There's plenty of mixed drink books at the bookstore, but again, those cost money, so just take some pictures of the pages and run out.

Cocktails can't be too hard to make, and if all else fails just bring that bottle of vodka out to the pool with you. There, just like Cabo.

3. Party every night. If you really want to feel like you're in Cabo, go hard and party every night of your spring break. Now this is assuming that you didn't go home for spring break...let's not concern the parents, right?

If you don't like enough people to throw a party every day then just sit back turn on some loud music and pretend there's people in your living room. Maybe close your eyes and turn on those ocean sounds again too. Now you're getting the hang of it.

4. Run around in your bathing suit.Honestly, all it takes to feel like you're in Cabo is to run around in your bathing suit 24/7. Seriously, don't take it off. Just glue yourself to that bikini and use your imagination.

Don't be afraid to go to the store or walk around your neighborhood as well. If you're worried about being judged, get someone to hold up an oceanic scene behind you. Then everyone else will think they're in Cabo and won't look at you like you're a partial exhibitionist.

5. Cry because you're not actually in Cabo. Let's be honest, no matter how hard you try, you can't make your own Cabo. You're just going to have to suck it up or join a frat because, for some reason, they always end up in Cabo every other week. (I swear you're actually being paid to be in the Greek system).

If you want to run around in your bikini having people flick water on you while you chug a bottle of vodka because making cocktails is too complicated, then by all means do so. We aren't judging. We're wishing we were in Cabo right along with you.
