There comes a time in life where taking a break and catching your breath becomes essential. Life moves at a very quick pace, and it is so easy to become caught up in the motion and endure feelings of stress and strain. For her, when searching for a place to unwind and feel at ease, she ends up at the beach.

There’s something about being alone, sitting on the sand, and looking out over the water. In that moment, the hectic world pauses and she's free to let her mind wander. No phones, text messages, or emails. Just her and her thoughts. Two of the most important things.

Looking out over the water, she realizes there’s much more to this world than she may think. It’s very important to know that outside of her own personal experiences, doubts, fears, or even demons, the world keeps progressing and life moves on. She must be reminded to try to spend less of her life worrying and more of it looking forward to whatever future she has ahead of her.

She inhales the fresh air. She takes the time to connect to her body, grounds herself and quiets her mind. Alone time spent on the beach is meant to bring on a feeling of relaxation, and to help her discover tranquility within.

She takes a swim in the water, works on her tan, and goes for a walk along the shore to collect seashells. She knows the time spent on the beach is never wasted time. She must enjoy and appreciate the break from reality that nature is providing her.

When you give a girl a beach, you get to see the best side of her. You allow her to make new memories while looking back at the old ones. For her, the best moments in life have been spent on the beach. The beach is her happy place. It is only on the sandy shores where she feels most like herself. She’s relaxed, gentle, and serene, but also very, very strong and powerful.

"No words can express,

The depth of her contentment,

As she walks along the beach.

As the waves lap against the shores,

They create the rhythm of her life.

Balmy breezes kiss,

Her sun-bronzed skin,

And she wonders.

Could there ever be a greater destiny,

Than to be born with a love,

For the treasures of the sea?

Here, she is home."

-Suzy Toronto

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
