A Day In The Life In Saint John USVI

The magical island of Saint John

A Day In The Life In Saint John USVI
Brittani Marceno

Nothin' but love for Love City! This beautiful island is small but oh so mighty. There is so much to do and see, so lets dive right in.

What I love most about the United States Virgin Islands is that each island is so different yet come together as one community.

Saint John is made up of many national parks, so it is great for hiking, camping and exploring the great unknown. The ferry runs from Saint Thomas over to Saint John every hour or so for fifteen hours a day! Once you arrive, prepare to be amazed. Cruz Bay is a beautiful beach front town full of bars, restaurant and shops all within walking distance. The Landing serves great morning coffee and pastries to get the day started off right!

To start the day out shopping, I suggest checking out Mongoose Junction for all the latest trends, hook bracelets and souvenirs to bring home. There are some great delis around for a cheaper lunch, and always places to grab a drink. I cannot express how great the Tap Room is. This is where the Saint John Brewers makes all their beers in-house, and man are they good! After getting your shopping fix, there are a lot of great hikes and trails around. I, recently, hiked the Bay Reef Trail, down to the petroglyphs and some old sugar mills. This was a long trek, but well worth it. It is easily accessible on Centerline Road. Another, much smaller, trek is to honeymoon beach. This beautiful beach is only .3 miles from the road, right up the street from Cruz Bay. This beach is small, hidden and less crowded than most! Theres snorkel gear for hire, a beach bar and food as well! Sit back and enjoy the Caribbean sun on your back, but don't forget the sunscreen! If you are in the mood to beach hop a bit, I highly suggest visiting Trunk Bay. This is a famous beach and well known for the snorkeling trails all around. Swim with sea turtles, fish, and maybe even some nurse sharks! Trunk Bay is a must see during your time in Saint John. Once you are all beached-out and ready for some dinner I suggest heading back towards Cruz Bay were there are many different places to choose from. The Longboard is a great place to get fresh seafood, and a great variety of specialty cocktails. I had the tuna poke bowl with fresh mango and it was absolutely delicious. It is never a let down! If you want somewhere for a nicer dinner, the Extra Virgin Bistro is scrumptious and classy restaurants with great chef specials and daily features. Either way, all the restaurants around are a great choice. Be sure to check out the Tap and Still once it opens for great burgers, wings and fries! For drinks Woody's is a famous bar with great drink specials and the ultimate island vibes!

Whether you are staying on Saint John or taking the ferry back to Saint Thomas there is something for everyone to enjoy during the perfect day in STJ.

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. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. 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.
