11 Thoughts You Have While Preparing For a Summer Trip
Florida Travel and Tourism

Summer vacation...oh the places you'll go! The anticipation that builds up in the days leading to a fun summer trip can be agony, but the trip of lifetime is well worth the wait! Here are some thoughts that we all have when prepping for summer vacation:

1. You totally Internet Stalk

You shamelessly stalk the Internet for everything to do with your trip. Your hotel, your cruise ship, your airline, you name it!

2. You Plan Everything

You plan every little detail of your trip in advance. By the time you land at your destination, you know the best places to eat, where the hottest beaches are, and have all the info on the coolest excursions. You got this.

3. You Keep a Countdown

You set a calendar and religiously mark off each day as it slowly drags by...

4. You Pick Out Each Outfit Days in Advance


You have a crazy fashion for your cat in an effort to get totally packed before the last minute...you'll still pack at the last minute.

5. You workout/diet/tan Like Crazy Before Your Trip

You just have to get the best beach body right?! It's ok, you'll get to pig out once your'e on your vacation!

6. You Daydream Constantly

You every waking thought is consumed with daydreams about laying on the beach with a drink in hand!

7. You Have to Remind Everyone About Your Trip

At every chance you get, you have to tell everyone around you about your vacation. Be careful not to make your friends too jealous!!

8. You Get Overwhelmed with Packing

Clothes are everywhere. You forgot to buy travel size toothpaste. And you can't seem to find your passport. Nothing like a major dose of stress to start off a trip right?

9. You Can't Fit Everything Into Your Suitcase

You try everything. Sitting on your suitcase. Jumping on it. Repacking everything at a different angle. And still the damn thing won't close!

10. You Can't Sleep the Night Before

You're so excited that sleep is the very last thing on your mind! Too bad that makes you suer tired for your long travel day the following morning.

11. You Run Around Like Crazy the Morning You Leave Thinking You Forgot Something

Who knew there would be so much to do the morning of?! Throw anything your forgot into your bag, print out your boarding pass, water plants, feed pets, set the alarm etc. Try not to forget anything...you'll still probably forget something.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
