12 Things That Happen When You Vacation With Your Boyfriend

Kirstin Lehman

Spending a week in the company of your significant other will cause a lot to happen. You'll spend quite a lot of time together, but it's an important part of growing. You'll go through many phases in just a week. The trip will start like a normal night out together. Things will start to get intense a couple days in. By the end things will pick back up again, because you'd rather stay together than have to get back to work, school, and responsibility. All of these things crossed my mind while I was in South Carolina with my boyfriend for just about a week.

1. Get Close

You'll be together more than ever before. All that together time will bring you a new level of closeness.

2. Run out of things to talk about

You'll talk about everything under the sun... and the moon and the clouds. At some points, you'll feel like you've told every story you can remember.

3. Bicker

All that closeness and talking means you'll find something that you don't agree on. It's ok though, because you don't need to agree on everything, and sometimes, opposites attract.

4. Get annoyed

You won't just bicker with your significant other. You will get annoyed. You will find little things that they do, that get on your nerves. Unfortunately, you will annoy them, too.

5. Get annoyed by their family

If this is a family related trip, you'll learn far more than you want to about their family. This one is a really big step, because staying together forever means accepting each others families forever.

6. Be adventurous

Adventures are great and even better when you experience them with someone you love. These adventures can make you even closer.

7. Spend money

It is possible to budget on vacation and be thrifty, but money will be lost. You'll want to go out to eat together and those adventures can be expensive.

8. Sort of act like adults

Taking a trip away from home will give you more freedom. You get to make all the decisions (together of course) and that's pretty adult-y.

9. Do a lot of driving

Driving is necessary because flying is expensive. Although it would be great to go to far away places, its better to stay a little closer to home, when that's all you can afford.

10. Don't follow your plans

You may make lots of plans, and probably won't follow them. You'll have ideas about what to do wherever you're traveling to, but those might not actually be the things you end up doing. Some things are too expensive, and some things just don't work out.

11. Miss them when you get back to reality

You'll get used to seeing each other so much that it will be abnormal to not see each other.

12. Want to do it all again

No matter how annoyed you get, you'll want to do it all again. Vacations with your significant other are truly eye opening and great experiences.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
