I was lying in bed, planning to take a nap after running errands all day. I could barely keep my eyes open. The curtains were closed. It was raining — perfect napping weather. I'd thought falling asleep would’ve been easy.

I can’t remember how many times I’ve been asked, “If you could have a superpower, what would it be?” Whether it was in Spanish class or a group activity in elementary school, I’d always give the same answer: I’d want the ability to know what people are thinking. Sure, flying and invisibility had crossed my mind. Even the ability to stretch my limbs like Elastigirl in “The Incredibles” seemed kind of fun. But every time, I’d always settle on reading peoples’ minds.

I wake up to my 71st day of summer vacation. It's 7:50 a.m. I look outside: another hazy, humid morning to add to the books. It's no excuse to miss the daily morning run though.

In a primarily technology-driven world, I sometimes wonder: what will come in the way of face-to-face interaction next? TV was one of the first things that began the trend. Yes, TV can help educate and inform an audience, but it can also distract people from interacting with those around them. It pulls people away from authentic interactions and into alternate universes with unrealistic expectations and occurrences.

The thought was haunting me. Nagging at me. Should I send the text? Would they respond? What would we talk about? It's now or never. I hit send and closed my phone.

I remember when Bloomington used to have a Barnes & Noble. I would spend hours in the kids section looking at books. There was one day in particular where I held a napkin and pen as I read the backs of books.

As we drive up the winding two-mile hill to the lodge we’re staying at, I take a sigh of relief. No more rushing, no more stressing about where we’re going to go next. We can take all the time we need, take in the views and fresh air.

When I go on tours, I don’t usually listen to the overhead voice telling me about whatever sight I’m seeing. I tend to zone out, getting rid of all the outside voices and sounds so I can take it in myself. It's not that I’m not interested in learning, I just don’t have the attention span to listen to someone talking for an hour. Especially when I have something unique and different in front of me to observe and commit to memory.

A calm, bittersweet sort of feeling came over me as the Three Bears Park came into view. Eleven years later, I was finally back. We had endured over 13 hours of driving and Philadelphia’s brutal traffic to get here.

Soon, I will be driving far, far away from this town. There is nothing like waking up at 4:30 a.m. to begin a family vacation to the east coast. Even though the days of waking up that early for dreadful cross country meets are far behind me, I make an exception for vacation.

I scroll through the free “House Hunters” episodes available on Xfinity, trying to figure out what mood I’m in today. Fixer upper in Texas, exciting city life in Chicago, move-in-ready family home in Pennsylvania. The list goes on — and those are only the episodes in the U.S. “House Hunters International” provides a whole other list of episodes, making my decision that much harder. Madrid, Tuscany, Costa Rica.

I am not a huge coffee nerd. I do not like black coffee, nor coffee with cream and sugar. Don't even mention espresso. The only form of coffee I can tolerate are mochas. They are the perfect balance of coffee and chocolate, not too overwhelmingly strong of caffeine.

Zander walked around the kitchen, went to a cabinet and pulled out a box of Barilla lasagna. Oh no. Of all the things we could have chosen to cook, why lasagna? It was so easy to mess up such a complicated dish. For years I had watched my mom take hours to create the Italian staple. Assembling the core ingredients took a lot of patience and care. Not to mention the hallowed Bechamel sauce.

As I clicked the ‘submit’ button on Canvas and turned in my final paper, it finally hit me. I had completed my freshman year of college. I sighed with relief. I had no more work. No more stress. No finals either. I was really done. I could finally lay on my bed all day, sleep in and not see the shadow of an upcoming assignment looming over my head.

As our group climbed the final spiral steps back up to ground level at the catacombs in Paris, Gentry was already planning our journey to the top of the Eiffel Tower. I didn’t know how I would survive another 1,000 steps to the top of the Eiffel Tower. According to our phones, we had walked over 13 miles that day alone. For a runner, my legs felt shaky, and my brain felt jetlagged beyond repair.
