For college students, summer is a great time to relax and forget that in a couple of months, the grind of schoolwork, sweat, and tears will be back in full swing. Florida is the place to be for college students across the nation in summertime due to the beautiful beaches, amusement parks and fantastic weather. Here are some places to visit for your summer vacation in the Sunshine State.

1. Everglades National Park, Miami FL

If you're looking for a scenic place to take beautiful pictures at sunset, see wildlife, take airboat rides, or just appreciate the Earth's natural beauty, take a trip down to the Everglades which is conveniently open 24/7.

2. Captiva Island, Fort Meyers FL

Looking for a beach that's beautiful but also isn't as crowded as Daytona, Clearwater, or Cocoa? Look no further than Captiva Island to experience beautiful white sandy beaches and a natural Florida coastline.

3. Devil's Den Spring, Williston FL

Located near the University of Florida, this spring is open to the public for scuba diving and snorkeling every day of the week. Devil's Den is underground which makes the experience even more memorable!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything.

I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
