West palm Beach Is My Vacation To Remember

upload.wikimedia.org

About two years ago, I had the opportunity to travel to West Palm Beach, Florida. Upon my arrival, I knew that this vacation was going to be one to remember. As I approached our resort, I saw the crystal, clear blue water and was so excited to just sit on the beach and relax. The beach is one of my favorite places to go and relax, especially the beaches in Florida.

The resort I stayed at had activities for people my age to participate in. So, the first night my sister and I went to glow volleyball. When we went, my sister and I just stated quiet to ourselves and then started talking to this boy from Delaware. This was the start of meeting some of my closest friends that I would make that week.

My sister and I made friends that we got so close with and it made saying goodbye hard. We spent almost all the days with them enjoying the beach and resort as well as our vacation time in West Palm.

Another highlight of the vacation was that I was able to go on the beach and see baby sea turtles hatch. For those of you who don't really know me, sea turtles are my favorite animals. One night we were walking across the beach and a random man was standing there shining his flashlight over the nest to show us the eggs. Surprisingly enough they were hatching.

The beach is popular for sea turtles to make their nests on. However, West Palm had a lot of nests.

The beach was breath taking! The water was so warm and calm. The waves gently crashed on shore. The sand was so soft. Sitting on the beach was so relaxing. Who doesn't live sitting on the beach and just relaxing doing nothing while getting a nice tan? I know I love the beach one of my favorite places ever!

My family and I were fortunate enough to have a room on the inlet where many boats, crusihiqs, yachts, etc. passed in and out. Sitting out on the balcony was so relaxing and awesome because you could be eating your breakfast while enjoying a nice view of the ocean that went on upon miles upon miles.

As I stated before, the beach and West Palm is one of my favorite places to travel to. I am excited to go back this summer and explore more about West Palm as well as sit on the beach and see baby sea turtles hatch.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Sam Houston State University

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

1. Wallow.

2. Cry.

3. Get Angry.

4. Tell Someone You Love Them.

5. Forgive.

6. Let go of the negative people in your life.

7. Be yourself.

8. Swallow Your Pride.

9. Stop Freaking Out Over Your Body.

10. Say No.

11. Accept Love.
