Travels

I recently found out that my family is not going to be making our annual trip to Colorado this summer. At first I was bummed because I love going out there in July. There’s so much to do! Whitewater rafting, hiking, shopping and dining to name a few.

Then I started thinking about the positive aspects of this canceled vacation, and I came up with quite a few points. I will be able to take a summer class or do an internship without having to worry about scheduling weeks off. I also remembered how much I hate the flight out there and the long drive to the mountains. By not going away, I will have much more time to get everything in order to be prepared for next year. I will also be able to take full advantage of making friendships and networking opportunities here in Tampa.

I have been so overwhelmed this year and although a vacation is fun and relaxing, there is a lot of planning that has to go into it. I think I will be able to get everything on track if I am here for the entire summer and not focusing on my travel plans.

I also remembered how much more I enjoy going to Colorado in the winter/spring when I can SKI! So I’m going to try and focus on planning a trip for then, so I can enjoy activities that we do not have here in Florida. Also, I am going to plan my trip to San Diego for the PRSSA Convention in November, which will hopefully provide me with a wealth of connections and opportunities just in time for me to graduate!
