Everyday people, including me are overwhelmed with upcoming exams, papers to write, payments, projects, and many more. The list seems to be endless. There are always new responsibilities being introduced once an old responsibility has been taken care of. In the midst of all the responsibilities that burden my shoulder, I like to give myself a day off. I forget about all the reading I have to do, lab reports I have to write up, and the exams I have to study for. I take a mini vacation and do something I love to do. It can be as simple as eating dinner with a couple of friends, shopping, taking a trip to the beach, or walking around the strips of West Hollywood. During my day off, I simply enjoy the mini vacation and my mind is stress free. Even though it is not a trip to Paris, Korea, or New York, I still feel the same excitement and pleasure. It is not the location that is important, but being able to get away from my responsibilities lets me enjoy my vacation. Once the day is over, I am back to my responsibilities and my to-do list. I sometimes thought or daydreamed how great it would be if I could be on my vacation forever. However, I learned that I would not be able to enjoy my vacation as much anymore. My vacations were enjoyable because I knew I was taking a break after all the work I have done. Although mini vacations are pleasurable, I would not want to take them every day. I would begin feel somewhat hopeless and worthless. I would not be working towards my goal or trying to accomplish something challenging. Then, I realized how grateful and glad I was to have endless responsibilities and things to do. It would be a tragedy if I returned from my trip, and I had nothing to do but stare at the wall. I love to take mini vacations, but I also love the fact that I have something to get back to. Vacations are indeed pleasurable, but it is great to have something to excel for.
