Vacations Heal The Soul
30ALuxuryVacations

Every single day I hear multiple people say that they are in desperate need for a vacation. To be some place where they can relax and not have a worry in the world. Yet nine out of 10 of them don't take that vacation. Instead, they stay fixated on their work or school, continuously stressing themselves out. I get it—things need to be done, but if you need a vacation, take it. We all deserve a break.

Recently I have been on two vacations. The first one was a solo vacation to Colorado Springs, and it was probably one of the best decisions I have ever made. The second was a family vacation to San Diego. Both I have felt like I needed for years, when in reality, it has only been a few months. However, the emotional drain of constantly being overworked is too much. Someone would start to feel like they've never had a vacation, yet be in need for one.

I know, I know—vacations are expensive. But I say treat yourself like the king or queen that you are. You know you deserve it. What if you have absolutely no money? Talk your parents into a vacation, or if you don't want to do that, simply take a few sick days. This time will help you replenish your energy and feel alive again. Your vacation could be as simple as spending a few quiet nights alone at your house or as extravagant as going to the Bahamas.

The point of a vacation is to get away. Do things that make you look forward to the days to come, instead of dread them. To relax, to have some peace and quiet, to rediscover yourself and rid yourself of any negativity or stress you might be feeling. If that means taking a solo vacation without any of your loved ones, do it. Your mind, body and spirit will thank you for the adventurous relaxation you will endure.

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.
