You're Not Besties Until You've Vacationed Together

The car ride is worth it, trust me.

You're Not Besties Until You've Vacationed Together
Kaitlyn Krueger

One thing I believe every single person in college should do, besides graduate, is to take a vacation with their best friends. Not only will an opportunity to do this become smaller and smaller after graduation, but it is some of the most fun you will ever have.

Yes, the pictures you take will last a lifetime but so too will the memories that go along with them. You will look back one day and think to yourself, "I wish I could go back."

So that's exactly what I did this year for spring break. Four of my besties and I packed up our cars and were bound for Seaside, Florida!

The past two spring breaks I have had were spent in the cold and I was not ready to make a three-peat of that. Thanks to one of my friend's family, we were all able to stay in a beautiful beach house just walking distance to the ocean.

Two days, 14 hours, and a couple of overpacked suitcases later we were out of Kansas City and in beautiful, sunny Florida.

Everything there couldn't have been more perfect. The air was warm, the sun was out (most days), we were at the beach every day and best of all, I was with my best friends the whole time. Of course, vacationing somewhere as relaxing as Seaside is amazing, but it was being with my friends that made the trip truly unforgettable.

Traveling with your besties is great for a number of reasons. For one, they know your good angles and you two know how to take amazing pictures of each other and together! Bikini pictures can be frustrating to take no matter who you are, but your bestie won't do you wrong, she'll take a stunning picture of you no matter how long it takes!

You'll also never be bored traveling with best friends. Hopefully, you'll never be bored in such a nice place to start off with, but if the day gets slow or it ends up raining outside it's not a total bust because best friends make the best of a bad situation.

One of the best reasons to vacation with your friends is to share food! Not everyone is always hungry at once, but at least one is down to go grab a bite of food with you. Or if you're going out for dinner or dessert someone is will want to split a plate of food or cake with you! Paying half price for a lot of food on the trip will definitely save both of your bank accounts.

Vacations like these are made for you to let loose and be carefree. Your family may not be up for day drinking and laying on the beach all day but that is why we have best friends.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
