You're Not Besties Until You've Vacationed Together

The car ride is worth it, trust me.

You're Not Besties Until You've Vacationed Together

One thing I believe every single person in college should do, besides graduate, is to take a vacation with their best friends. Not only will an opportunity to do this become smaller and smaller after graduation, but it is some of the most fun you will ever have.

Yes, the pictures you take will last a lifetime but so too will the memories that go along with them. You will look back one day and think to yourself, "I wish I could go back."

So that's exactly what I did this year for spring break. Four of my besties and I packed up our cars and were bound for Seaside, Florida!

The past two spring breaks I have had were spent in the cold and I was not ready to make a three-peat of that. Thanks to one of my friend's family, we were all able to stay in a beautiful beach house just walking distance to the ocean.

Two days, 14 hours, and a couple of overpacked suitcases later we were out of Kansas City and in beautiful, sunny Florida.

Everything there couldn't have been more perfect. The air was warm, the sun was out (most days), we were at the beach every day and best of all, I was with my best friends the whole time. Of course, vacationing somewhere as relaxing as Seaside is amazing, but it was being with my friends that made the trip truly unforgettable.

Traveling with your besties is great for a number of reasons. For one, they know your good angles and you two know how to take amazing pictures of each other and together! Bikini pictures can be frustrating to take no matter who you are, but your bestie won't do you wrong, she'll take a stunning picture of you no matter how long it takes!

You'll also never be bored traveling with best friends. Hopefully, you'll never be bored in such a nice place to start off with, but if the day gets slow or it ends up raining outside it's not a total bust because best friends make the best of a bad situation.

One of the best reasons to vacation with your friends is to share food! Not everyone is always hungry at once, but at least one is down to go grab a bite of food with you. Or if you're going out for dinner or dessert someone is will want to split a plate of food or cake with you! Paying half price for a lot of food on the trip will definitely save both of your bank accounts.

Vacations like these are made for you to let loose and be carefree. Your family may not be up for day drinking and laying on the beach all day but that is why we have best friends.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
