FGCU / Instagram

If you don't mind driving a little bit, here are some activities that you can do. They either can be an all day affair or they can be a quick trip! You don't have to travel that far to have fun, just a simple drive can take you to another part of the area you didn't even know existed.

1. Miami Beach - Miami, Florida

There are so many things to do here, you have the beach. Then there are all the little shops and the stores that are along the Miami Beach Strip. And don't get me started on all the different restaurants and little cafes that are scattered around the city.

2.Shy Wolf Sanctuary - Naples, Florida

This sanctuary homes many different kinds of species, mainly wolves. Where you would be able to visit with them and learn all about the different animals. And even get to pet a wolf. Spaces for their tours fill up fast, so try and sign up as soon as possible.

3. Farmer Mikes U Pick - Bonita Springs, Florida

This farm is a place that you can pick flowers, fruits, and all kinds of vegetables. Its got a cafe with a bunch of yummy foods, and it is a fun little day trip that can turn a boring Saturday into an exciting one.

4. Big Cat Habitat and Gulf Coast Sanctuary - Sarasota, Florida

This is your spot if you love all types of big cats, it houses a bunch of different species of them. Not to mention there are a bunch of different animals as well that call this place home

5. Oxford Exchange - Tampa, Florida

Yes, I know this is such a basic place, but you can grab a bite to eat at their restaurant which is sooooo yummy. And then walk around there shop, grab some coffee or tea and take a lot of pictures because this place is so aesthetically pleasing.

6.Top golf - Tampa, Florida

So this isn't for everyone but if you like sports, this is a pretty neat place! There are a bunch of different food options and you can play for a pretty decent amount of time.

7. Tampa Museum of Art - Tampa, Florida

If you are artistically inclined, then this museum has some interesting and beautiful pieces that are sure to amaze.

8.Weeki Wachi Springs - Spring Hill, Florida

This place is home to mermaids! Yes, I said mermaids!!! There is a mini water park, along with the natural spring, and a bunch of mermaid-themed activities!

9. Walt Disney World - Orlando, Florida

I mean this is obvious! Yes, the tickets are a bit expensive but they are always offering deals on tickets. And if you are a Florida resident they give a discount. But if you don't want to spend a decent amount of money then you can always visit Disney Springs. There are a bunch of shops, so many restaurants and different activities that don't involve spending a lot of money.

10. Devil's Den Prehistoric Spring- Williston, Florida

Some more springs but there are caves here, there are also a lot of different activities that you can do like kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, etc. And you can get a tan while your at it.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
