As the weeks approach Spring Break, choir and band students are getting ready for the Florida trip. Conversation revolves around what to pack, where to eat, what rides to go on, etc. Excitement and anticipation are coursing through their veins. However, one topic that kids aren’t so crazy about is the 30-hour bus ride. Yuck! Maybe the most difficult decision is who to spend all that time with. Who you choose to sit with can make or break your entire vacation. But remember, you have to be a good bus buddy too! That’s where I come in. Here’s a list of great tips to be the best bus buddy you can be:
- Spray as much perfume and hairspray as you can. The bus driver will like that too.
- Bring chips, pretzels, anything crunchy. Wait until you bus buddy is almost asleep, and start munching with as much force as your jaw will allow.
- Don’t bathe for at least a week before the trip.
- Call all your home girls. And don’t just talk on the phone, scream into it. The louder the better.
- Fart. A lot.
- Bring onions. Slice them into tiny pieces, eat a few (bus buddies love rancid breath), then decide you no longer want to eat them and throw your pungent onion slices in a trash bag to rot in the sun.
- Stop shaving now! On the way there, politely ask your bus buddy to braid your armpit hair.
- Turn your music up so loud that your bus buddy can’t even hear theirs. I’m sure they’d rather hear what you’re listening to.
- Sprawl in the seat. Give them as little space as possible and hope they’re not claustrophobic!
- If you fall asleep, (Which I wouldn’t recommend. Bus buddies love it when you keep them awake.) make sure you drool. Everywhere.
