Spending a week in the company of your significant other will cause a lot to happen. You'll spend quite a lot of time together, but it's an important part of growing. You'll go through many phases in just a week. The trip will start like a normal night out together. Things will start to get intense a couple days in. By the end things will pick back up again, because you'd rather stay together than have to get back to work, school, and responsibility. All of these things crossed my mind while I was in South Carolina with my boyfriend for just about a week.
1. Get Close
You'll be together more than ever before. All that together time will bring you a new level of closeness.
2. Run out of things to talk about
You'll talk about everything under the sun... and the moon and the clouds. At some points, you'll feel like you've told every story you can remember.
3. Bicker
All that closeness and talking means you'll find something that you don't agree on. It's ok though, because you don't need to agree on everything, and sometimes, opposites attract.
4. Get annoyed
You won't just bicker with your significant other. You will get annoyed. You will find little things that they do, that get on your nerves. Unfortunately, you will annoy them, too.
5. Get annoyed by their family
If this is a family related trip, you'll learn far more than you want to about their family. This one is a really big step, because staying together forever means accepting each others families forever.
6. Be adventurous
Adventures are great and even better when you experience them with someone you love. These adventures can make you even closer.
7. Spend money
It is possible to budget on vacation and be thrifty, but money will be lost. You'll want to go out to eat together and those adventures can be expensive.
8. Sort of act like adults
Taking a trip away from home will give you more freedom. You get to make all the decisions (together of course) and that's pretty adult-y.
9. Do a lot of driving
Driving is necessary because flying is expensive. Although it would be great to go to far away places, its better to stay a little closer to home, when that's all you can afford.
10. Don't follow your plans
You may make lots of plans, and probably won't follow them. You'll have ideas about what to do wherever you're traveling to, but those might not actually be the things you end up doing. Some things are too expensive, and some things just don't work out.
11. Miss them when you get back to reality
You'll get used to seeing each other so much that it will be abnormal to not see each other.
12. Want to do it all again
No matter how annoyed you get, you'll want to do it all again. Vacations with your significant other are truly eye opening and great experiences.
