Have you found the perfect vacation place and day to go? If you did, you must be very excited to go now right now! However, planning a vacation may seem easy to do and takes little time but that is not all true. When you are given the task of planning a vacation, it consists of many other things. Here are some things to consider when planning a vacation.

1. Consider everyone's schedules

If you are planning to go on vacation, think about everyone's schedules, not just yours. This then makes vacation planning more complicated. If some people cannot make the day of vacation, then it just pushes you back to step one, into finding the perfect vacation place to go and day to go. Not all the dates are available for you.

For example, you might find a date but your schedule of responsibilities or work does not allow it but then everyone else can go. That sounds completely unfair.

Unfortunately, you still got to do more research on the dates and other vacations. You got to find the date where you and everyone else is free. If you could, you can also ask if they take a vacation off on some dates. This is no problem for others but it could become a hassle for others. Maybe for example, if you are thinking to take a trip in the summer, start planning in early spring or late winter.

2. Cost of vacation

The price of vacation becomes a big factor in your decision to go on vacation. Usually, in the summertime, the prices increase rapidly. Sometimes if you are lucky, there is a price that is a little cheaper and affordable. I say go for it and book it! If the price is cheap at this time, then you must decide quickly with your friends or family about it or the price will increase as time passes by. If you are going with a group and see that the price is a little expensive, you might want to discuss the price cost with them first and negotiate about it.

3. Make sure that everyone puts their heart into it

What makes planning a vacation more fun? When everyone helps you and puts their heart into it. Have them make suggestions about where they want to go. Look up some places together! Do not be the one that turns everything down, it makes the vacation planning harder and not fun at all. Next time, people will not invite that person along to the vacation if they keep rejecting the vacation plans or suggestions. Moreover, it becomes more difficult if some people do not like the vacation place that you have chosen.

Make sure it is a place that everyone wants to go for vacation. If there is one person who does not like the vacation place in your whole group, then try to convince the person to go. If one plan goes down, have someone think of a backup vacation plan. This way, there is hope for a vacation worth looking forward to! Why not make both the process and vacationing fun?

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
