Template:Blog4 Spring Break Sucks is the one hundred sixty-seventh video in the lonelygirl15 video series.

Transcript

Bree: So... I'm feeling... a little blue today. Daniel and Jonas went off to bars, and they invited me to go with them, but I just... I don't know, it's just not... you know, me. You probably think that I'm a total spaz or something, because, I mean, people come to Mexico to party, right? I guess that's just what they do. I saw this girl. She was about my age, and she was sitting on the beach with her friends, and I dunno, I guess it's Spring Break or something? It's not that... I want to be like them, it's just that... they seem like they don't have a care in the world, and all the things that people do that are my age, I usually think are really stupid. You know, I'm sitting there and I'm thinking about my mom and my dad and the Order and Jonas's parents and I just... I felt really overwhelmed, and just literally got up and ran away. (cut to Bree walking along a Mexican street.) So, we're all pretty stressed out right now. I mean, you saw Daniel's video, there's clearly more than meets the eye. I mean, I think that maybe Alex's relationship with the Order is more complicated than we thought. I just want to go in there and talk to her, but of course Daniel and Jonas think I am crazy. (cut to Bree sitting) I read this article about how men and women deal with stress differently, and I wanted to understand why (loudly) I never agree with them. (normally) Until recently, the standard mechanism for with stress was very simple: you either choose to face something or you run from it. This is called "fight or flight". Well, move over fight or flight, there's a new paradigm in town. Turns out, all the research done establishing this fight or flight--get ready for it--was done on men. Apparently, this is a trend. Brief to the scientific community: if you only do your research on men, you may have trouble getting accurate results on things such as... God, what's it called... (taps her head) oh, pregnancy! (shrugs) (cut to Bree sitting somewhere else) Turns out, when they actually did use women as test subjects, they reacted totally different to stress. (Bree puts her hand around her like like a telescope and moves closer to the camera.) Whoa, what is that? How strange. According to the article, when women are faced with a similarly stressful situation, they do something called "tend and befriend".

Bree: So, I think that's about all the tending I'm gonna do for one day. As for the befriending, well, that I'll have to start again tomorrow. (whispering) They're not gonna be happy when they wake up. (normally) You guys are on your own from here. You know what? I feel less stressed already. Thanks, science.

Text: I found this on Daniel's camera. No wonder you guys ended up in the alley. Hehehe

Daniel: (wearing the sombrero and in a loud, high pitched voice) Ah, ha ha ha ha ha ha haaa.
