11 Thoughts You Have While Preparing For a Summer Trip
Florida Travel and Tourism

Summer vacation...oh the places you'll go! The anticipation that builds up in the days leading to a fun summer trip can be agony, but the trip of lifetime is well worth the wait! Here are some thoughts that we all have when prepping for summer vacation:

1. You totally Internet Stalk

You shamelessly stalk the Internet for everything to do with your trip. Your hotel, your cruise ship, your airline, you name it!

2. You Plan Everything

You plan every little detail of your trip in advance. By the time you land at your destination, you know the best places to eat, where the hottest beaches are, and have all the info on the coolest excursions. You got this.

3. You Keep a Countdown

You set a calendar and religiously mark off each day as it slowly drags by...

4. You Pick Out Each Outfit Days in Advance


You have a crazy fashion for your cat in an effort to get totally packed before the last minute...you'll still pack at the last minute.

5. You workout/diet/tan Like Crazy Before Your Trip

You just have to get the best beach body right?! It's ok, you'll get to pig out once your'e on your vacation!

6. You Daydream Constantly

You every waking thought is consumed with daydreams about laying on the beach with a drink in hand!

7. You Have to Remind Everyone About Your Trip

At every chance you get, you have to tell everyone around you about your vacation. Be careful not to make your friends too jealous!!

8. You Get Overwhelmed with Packing

Clothes are everywhere. You forgot to buy travel size toothpaste. And you can't seem to find your passport. Nothing like a major dose of stress to start off a trip right?

9. You Can't Fit Everything Into Your Suitcase

You try everything. Sitting on your suitcase. Jumping on it. Repacking everything at a different angle. And still the damn thing won't close!

10. You Can't Sleep the Night Before

You're so excited that sleep is the very last thing on your mind! Too bad that makes you suer tired for your long travel day the following morning.

11. You Run Around Like Crazy the Morning You Leave Thinking You Forgot Something

Who knew there would be so much to do the morning of?! Throw anything your forgot into your bag, print out your boarding pass, water plants, feed pets, set the alarm etc. Try not to forget anything...you'll still probably forget something.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
