Have you found the perfect vacation place and day to go? If you did, you must be very excited to go now right now! However, planning a vacation may seem easy to do and takes little time but that is not all true. When you are given the task of planning a vacation, it consists of many other things. Here are some things to consider when planning a vacation.

1. Consider everyone's schedules

If you are planning to go on vacation, think about everyone's schedules, not just yours. This then makes vacation planning more complicated. If some people cannot make the day of vacation, then it just pushes you back to step one, into finding the perfect vacation place to go and day to go. Not all the dates are available for you.

For example, you might find a date but your schedule of responsibilities or work does not allow it but then everyone else can go. That sounds completely unfair.

Unfortunately, you still got to do more research on the dates and other vacations. You got to find the date where you and everyone else is free. If you could, you can also ask if they take a vacation off on some dates. This is no problem for others but it could become a hassle for others. Maybe for example, if you are thinking to take a trip in the summer, start planning in early spring or late winter.

2. Cost of vacation

The price of vacation becomes a big factor in your decision to go on vacation. Usually, in the summertime, the prices increase rapidly. Sometimes if you are lucky, there is a price that is a little cheaper and affordable. I say go for it and book it! If the price is cheap at this time, then you must decide quickly with your friends or family about it or the price will increase as time passes by. If you are going with a group and see that the price is a little expensive, you might want to discuss the price cost with them first and negotiate about it.

3. Make sure that everyone puts their heart into it

What makes planning a vacation more fun? When everyone helps you and puts their heart into it. Have them make suggestions about where they want to go. Look up some places together! Do not be the one that turns everything down, it makes the vacation planning harder and not fun at all. Next time, people will not invite that person along to the vacation if they keep rejecting the vacation plans or suggestions. Moreover, it becomes more difficult if some people do not like the vacation place that you have chosen.

Make sure it is a place that everyone wants to go for vacation. If there is one person who does not like the vacation place in your whole group, then try to convince the person to go. If one plan goes down, have someone think of a backup vacation plan. This way, there is hope for a vacation worth looking forward to! Why not make both the process and vacationing fun?

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
