When in Florida, the best things to do are EAT and DRINK, tan all day, and go shopping everywhere! This year, I spent close to two weeks in Hollywood and Miami Beach, Florida with friends and family for a vacation and work convention. Not only did I get to dress up for amazing dinners and galas, but I was able to spend time at the beach and tan!

Here are my top 5 favorite things I did in Florida:

Shopping

DASH BOUTIQUE

Being a Kardashian fan in Miami lead me to visiting their infamous DASH Boutique! DASH is located on Collins Avenue the street behind Ocean Drive! This location right on the beach is known for it's shopping, drinking, dining, and partying!

I made sure to make the most of my DASH experience as there is ONLY TWO DASH locations! One in Miami and one in West Hollywood (until 2016 their was a DASH location in Manhattan.)

When I first walked into the store, I noticed the cute interior, boutique styled clothing, Kardashian and Jenner clothes, perfumes, and accessories, and pictures of the trio on every wall! Sadly, by the end of the summer all DASH locations will be closed permanently, but on the bright side I received everything half off!

I basically bought the whole store OUT and left with three DASH keychains, two DASH shirts, a Woodstock shirt, two skirts, a DASH mirror, three dresses, a hat, and a DASH water bottle!

The Beach

Miami Beach, Florida

I went to a private beach in Hollywood, Florida and was able to enjoy the sun from a cabana on the beach and by the pool! When in Miami Beach, I went to one of the most visited beaches right on Ocean Drive. The beach was beautiful with white sand and bright blue water!

At both beaches and by the pool, I tanned everyday and enjoyed the beautiful Florida weather. Going to the beach was the most enjoyable part of being in Florida! Nothing beats having sand in your toes, sun tan oil on your skin, and the smell of the ocean in the air!

Right on Ocean Drive you can see a piece of history! The mansion Versace once lived in and was sadly murdered at. The Mansion is now open to the public in Gianni Versace's memory as a luxury hotel with 10 suites and a restaurant.

Not only is the exclusive and beautiful mansion a once and a life time experience, it serves amazing food and has a breath taking atmosphere! If you go make sure to say hi to the two cats named Gianni and Donatella!

Sugar Factory

The Sugar Factory is a HUGE tourist attraction all around the world! It is famous for its colorful drinks with candy and dry ice smoke! Not only are these drinks alcoholic, but they do have fun milkshakes and frozen hot chocolates for those under 21!

A lot of tourists visit the location because it is visited and endorsed by many iconic celebrities such as Britney Spears, Drake, and the whole Kardashian clan! Kim Kardashian recently just visited the location in New York with her family to celebrate her daughter North's birthday!

When visiting the location, you can also order food, which consists of the same color balance including rainbow hamburgers. You can also shop inside the restaurant where there are souvenirs, candy, and pictures of celebrities. This is definitely a must visit when in Miami!

The Food

Pasta From Versace's Mansion

When in Florida, make sure to visit all sorts of restaurants and try all sorts of food! Many restaurants in Florida have beautiful views and are right on the water. All the food I had when in Florida was amazing!

My favorite meal I had was at Gianni's, the restaurant inside of Gianni Versace's Mansion. Not only can you try amazing food here, you get to experience the inside of Versace's beautiful and historic mansion.

Overall, I had the best food when I was in Hollywood, Florida! My favorite meal here was at a restaurant named Monkitail inside of The Diplomat Resort. The restaurant had some of the best Japanese food I have ever tried including my personal favorite, the fried tofu.

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

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.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.
