Living By The Beach Transformed Me From City Girl To Boho Babe

123rf

Coming to college, I was obviously super attracted to the fact that my school was near the water, but I didn't know how much that would have an effect on my overall presence, persona, style, vibe, the list could clearly go on and on...

I really feel as if living by everyday life in jean shorts and a t-shirt, knowing that in my downtime (which I don't have much of in college), I'm free to hit up the pool whenever I'd like, would change my overall persona and the way I go about my life, but I can, in fact, promise you that it has.

As much as I loved growing up in a relatively busy suburban area directly outside of the city- mind you, I was only about a 20-minute drive from two of the most popular and desired travel locations in the world — Miami and Fort Lauderdale, I have really learned to thrive in a beach town.

I have become so much more of a chill and laid back person because of the atmosphere in which I am experiencing life in college in. Although, realistically, I don't have the time to spend my days in a bikini and tanning by the pool, the fact that I live in an atmosphere where I am able to do this has really had an effect on me.

Waking up in the town that I live in has just inspired me to live my best life and has really brought good vibes and allowed me to become the best version of myself.

Packing up all of my things and moving from the city to the beach has BY far been one of the best choices I have ever made- City Girl gone Boho Babe was definitely a good move.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
