VACATION IDEAS
So you thought you had to put those Tahitian dreams on hold? Think again. Luxe locales like Fiji, the Cook Islands—and, yes, even Tahiti!—roll out the red carpet for folks like us. Read on for tips on planning, picking the right island, and getting a good deal!
By Robert Firpo-Cappiello, Tuesday, Nov 4,
(Blagov58/Dreamstime)
This may be an awful thing for a travel editor to confess, but the islands of the South Pacific have always seemed a little intimidat-ing to me. Thousands of miles from my home in suburban New York, and perhaps even farther away in terms of lifestyle, ease of transportation, and sheer cost, I have to admit I haven't even given them a spot on my bucket list until recently. But I began to notice that luxe locales like the Cook Islands, Fiji, Tahiti, and sometimes even chi-chi Moorea were turning up in Budget Travel's . Hmm. Turns out, if you choose the right destination—an island that enjoys a modest standard of living without catering to the ultra-wealthy—and pick the right resort or book a package deal, some of these warm, alluring destinations can and should be on your travel list.
WHAT IS THE "SOUTH PACIFIC" ANYWAY?
Let's get this out of the way up front: It's impossible to adequately summarize the history, culture, and geograph-ical diversity of the islands that stretch across thousands of miles in the southern hemisphere smack in the middle of the world's largest ocean. From French Polynesia (including Tahiti and Moorea) in the east, across the Cook Islands, Fiji, and the Solomon Islands in the west, what we refer to as the islands of the South Pacific are a rich stew of jungles, coral reefs, beaches, volcanoes, native cultures, and European colonial influences. The good news is, English is spoken just about everywhere, and an afford-able—and unforgettable—experience is possible for what we like to call "real people."
WHAT ISLAND IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
To get started, I turned to someone whose great reporting always inspires me, Mark Kahler, who is an expert on frugal traveling for . He notes that package tours can often be a good way to see the South Pacific on a budget. "Packages that include flight plus hotel are the most popular, because those are the two largest expenses you will encounter on a trip to the South Pacific," he says. "Shop in the vacation sections of airline websites that serve this part of the world. Airlines will bundle dates and destina-tions based on how many seats they need to fill on various flights. They can also negotiate better deals with the resorts at certain times of the year." Kahler suggests, though, that if you research package deals, you need to be careful that a package doesn't confine you to the grounds of one resort—unless that's the kind of isolated experience you are looking for. "Travelers who are willing to look for smaller, locally owned properties might get a better glimpse of the local culture, and it's entirely possible they'll find rates that are as good or better than the package tours." He also notes that, unlike many other parts of the world, where oceanfront property is reserved for high-end rooms, the South Pacific often offers budget accommodations that are right on the beach. "The notion of staying right on the ocean in a bungalow with a thatched roof might seem romantic or luxurious, but many times these places are very basic in terms of amenities. You may not find air conditioning, or designer shampoos and bed sheets, but stylish? Yes!"
WHAT'S YOUR BUDGET?
Emma Woodward, of , suggests that you first determine what your budget is, then conduct your research—or work with a travel company—to find the combination of lodging category and island that's right for you. "If you combine two islands, start with a lower room category, then splurge on the second island," Woodward suggests, noting that, as with many destinations, being flexible with your travel dates can help you find deals on flights, and that a package deal will not only save you money on your airfare from the U.S. but also on inter-island airfares
KEEP THE ISLANDS BEAUTIFUL!
The South Pacific islands are lovely—and fragile. Easily damaged coral reefs fringe many islands, and as we've seen in areas such as the Caribbean, tourist dollars can also bring havoc to the environment. Woodward points out that you can visit the South Pacific in a sustainable, environmentally friendly way. "A lot of resorts use ocean water for air conditioning, purify ocean water for drinking, and bottle water in reusable glass containers rather than plastic."
COOK ISLANDS
The Cook Islands top the list of affordable South Pacific destinations, with a comfortable but not out-of-reach standard of living, New Zealand-in-fluenced culture, and an inviting array of natural wonders like coral lagoons, caves, and lush forests. The islands themselves are distinct from one another, with opportu-nities for you to soak up a luxe resort experience, forest hiking, and even some deserted islands. Rarotonga's Muri Lagoon is a must, as is snorkeling on the Aitutuaki atoll. For a taste of the islands' village life, tour the pretty gardens of Ma'uke. And for a literal taste of Polynesian cuisine, enjoy one of the islands' classic pork-based feasts along with a performance of local traditional dance. Feeling more adventurous? Explore the caves of Mangaia, including the burial chamber of the ruler Te Rua Rere. Resorts here are within reach: Palm Grove Resort Rarotonga offers individual bungalows on a five-acre beachfront property that also includes beautiful gardens fille the resort's calm, shallow lagoon is great for beginner and advanced snorkelers (, from $185). Edgewater Resort & Spa allows you to enjoy beach and garden views, a lagoon, swimming pool, and two restaurants just a short distance from downtown Avarua (, from $189).

How To Make Friends In College Or University
I've already written a lot about making friends in articles like
Even though some of the ideas in this article will repeat ideas from the ones above, I want to specifically talk about these concepts in terms of making friends in university.
The college environment really is one of the easiest places to make friends.
You're surrounded by thousands peers, most of whom are open to meeting people.
Of course, that statement can seem like a slap in the face if you're at college and struggling with your social life.
It can make you feel like there's something extra wrong with you for having trouble in such a supposedly easy situation.
The same basic structure for making friends applies
In the article
I lay out a basic structure for making friends:
Put yourself in places where potential friends are, and then meet and talk to them
Take the initiative to hang out with the people you seem to click with
Keep making plans and hanging out with these people you get along with and see where the budding friendship goes.
Things can't work out with everyone, but some will become your friends.
In university the 'finding potential friends' part is a lot easier because there are so many opportunities to meet people.
Some students stumble on the 'taking initiative' step.
In the past they may never have had many friends, or fell into their social circle by accident.
Maybe they've been hanging out with the same people since middle school, or they just somehow ended up becoming friends with their high school track team without realizing how.
Now that they're in a new environment they may not consciously know how to form a social circle and think it's something that will just passively happen to them.
Making friends during your first few weeks of college
Farther down I'll share some thoughts on how people can make friends during day-to-day university life.
In this section I'll talk about meeting people during those first few weeks.
Pretty much everyone feels at least a little nervous, awkward, and overwhelmed
Yeah, there are a handful of people who glide into the college experience effortlessly and confidently and seem to know half the campus by the end of the third day.
Don't worry about them.
They're the minority.
Most people feel awkward and uncertain when they first go to university.
It is a major life transition after all.
The thing is most people put on a brave face and act like they have it together, because they believe everyone else feels that way.
Nervousness also doesn't show as much as you'd think.
So you have a situation where pretty much everyone feels a bit uncomfortable, but they look around and see that all the other people appear confident.
So they decide they better act self-assured too.
Then an unsure person glances at them and the cycle continues.
It's possible you'll find everything easier than you thought it would be
Most people are understandably worried about whether they'll be able to make friends in college.
If they're currently shy or awkward they have even more reason to fret about it.
Sometimes people are anxious beforehand, but once they arrive for that first week of school they find everything just seems to work out.
They still feel shy and out of their element, but at the same time, they meet people and form a social circle much more easily than they would have expected.
What I think happens in these situations is that even though that person saw themselves as inhibited or clumsy, they had more social skills and positive traits under the surface than they realized or gave themselves credit for.
Once they were put in the new, easy-to-meet-people university environment those hidden strengths were able to show themselves.
This point isn't to falsely get anyone's hopes up.
I also realize that many people come to college and continue to struggle socially, and need additional help.
However, I just wanted to mention the possibility that you may worry about college a lot beforehand, but find things aren't so hard once you get there.
See if you can get to know some people before the school year actually starts
Lots of people do just fine going into a new school not knowing a single other person.
Many of the other students are in the exact same boat, so the situation isn't too stacked against them.
It can take the edge off though if there are some familiar faces waiting for you when you arrive.
One way this often happens automatically is if you already know someone who's going to the same school as you.
Even if they're just a high school acquaintance, it can still help to have someone to hang around with at first.
Though if you know someone who's going to the same college as you, and you really don't like each other that much, don't feel you have to force yourself to hang out with them.
It may be easier to just start from scratch and go it alone.
Some colleges will hold orientation or information events in the weeks and months prior to the school year officially starting.
If you can make it to these you may get the chance to get to know a few people from your program ahead of time.
Depending on your program there may also be a Facebook page set up for it, "University of Whatever - Political Science class of 20XX" or something like that.
You can reach out to some of your classmates who have also joined the page, or there may be threads started about people meeting up.
Try to visit and get familiar with the campus and surrounding area ahead of time
This won't be feasible for everyone, but it can take away a chunk of your anxiety if you've already visited the school and know your way around a little.
It's one less thing you have to worry about.
Also, it can give you a bit of a leg up if you're the person who can show people where things are, or if you can say, "Oh, how about we all go to Place X tonight?
I know it.
It's good."
If you really want to get some practice with the university experience, go backpacking beforehand
In the article on how
I mention how the backpacker/hostel life is similar to being at university.
That also goes for learning how to meet people and make friends with them quickly.
I totally realize this option isn't affordable or practical for everyone, but if it interests you, try traveling for a bit over the summer between high school and college.
Or if you were planning to take a year off before starting university, do it then.
Go to as many Frosh Week/Freshers' Week/O-Week events as you can
The name is different depending on what country you're in, but the idea is the same.
It's that first orientation/initiation/partying week for the incoming freshmen before classes start.
There are lots of other students from your faculty to meet here so go to as many events as you can.
Over the week you'll also start to see the same people at different activities, giving you more of a chance to get to know them.
The events are mostly run and organized by older students.
Not all of these guides will be helpful, but some of them will go out of their way to make sure everyone feels comfortable and included.
If you're at these events and feel a bit awkward about talking to the other students, you may find it a bit easier to chat to the guides.
You can do that to get yourself in a more talkative mood, then try talking to your peers.
The week can seem a bit overwhelming and crazy and partying-focused.
This is one situation where I'd advise people to go anyway, push their comfort zones, and try to make the best of it.
It's an experience you'll only get to do once, and there are a lot of benefits to going.
Not all of the activities are pub crawls either.
Universities realize not every student drinks, or is legally allowed to drink, and will try to accommodate them with non-partying activities.
If you live in residence try to get to know the people on your floor
A lot of this will happen automatically, as you can't help but run into people as you move your stuff in or walk down the halls.
Take it a step further though and try to talk to as many of your floormates as you can.
Go around and knock on doors and introduce yourself to people.
Don't worry that this will make you seem lame and desperate. It's just friendly.
Hang out in the common room and chat to whoever else comes in.
Drop in on the floors above and below you and see what's going on there.
If you live at home or off-campus try to hang around campus as much as you can
People who live at home, or who live in an apartment far away from campus often have a harder time meeting people at school, simply because they're not around everyone as much.
There are so many more social opportunities living in Residence.
Especially during the first few weeks, don't head home as soon as you no longer have to be on campus.
Stick around and see if there are any chances to meet people.
Chat to whoever you want to, since it's okay to do so
Sometimes people have the attitude that they can't just chat to people they don't know because it's bothering the other person, or that it's just a weird, inappropriate thing to do.
That's not really true in general, but it's especially not true when university is first starting.
It's a free for all in terms of meeting new people and trying to get to know them.
Start conversations with whoever you want to.
If you're in the auditorium to hear some presentation about Campus Safety, say hello to the people sitting beside you.
Chat to the people walking with you when you're at a Frosh Week event.
Talk to other students in the elevator in your residence.
It's okay to tag along with groups of people or to go to events alone
Say you're at an Orientation Week event and you've been talking to a group of people.
They all announce they're going to check out a certain place once the event is over.
They seem friendly enough to you, but they didn't specifically invite you to join.
In cases like this just go along as well or ask if it's cool if you can come too.
It's not like this is some long-established social circle that you're intruding on.
Nothing has formed yet.
It's okay to just tag along with these proto-groups and see where things go.
You may also find yourself in a situation where you know there are certain freshmen events going on later that day, but for whatever reason you find yourself alone in your room with no one to go with.
That first week is chaotic and things like this can easily happen.
Just go to the event by yourself and try to meet or run into people once you're there.
Again, everything is up in the air so this is fine.
Even the students who came in groups will be meeting lots of new people there, so it's fine if you're doing the exact same thing, but just happened to show up by yourself.
Play the numbers game
You're not going to make friends with, or even hit it off with, every person you meet and talk to when you first come to school.
This doesn't mean you're an unlikable failure.
It just means some people aren't the best match for you.
You don't need to get every last person on the campus to like you.
You just have to find a handful of people you get along with well.
Don't feel that your social life is a lost cause if you haven't made a group of friends after the first few weeks
It's very common to feel like once the first few weeks of school have passed everyone's social circles become more solidified and it's harder to make friends.
I'd say it's true that the atmosphere where everyone is open to making friends with everyone else dies down after the first few weeks.
However that doesn't mean that every social circle that has formed is now completely locked.
A social group is usually open to a new member if they're
and they bring something to the table.
This article may help:
The other thing is that the social circles that people form in the first few weeks of university sometimes don't last that long.
They can form because everyone was eager to not be lonely and have a group to hang out with, so they linked up with the first batch of people they come across.
In the months that follow these circles can break up as everyone realizes they actually aren't that well matched.
Naturally you may find this happening with any friendships you formed at first too.
It's okay though.
There are lots of ways to make other friends in school.
Making friends during day-to-day college life
Those are some tips on making friends during the first weeks of university.
School goes on for years though, and people often want to know how to make friends during the rest of their time there. Below are my thoughts on how to do that.
Check out my other articles on making friends
The first few weeks of school are a unique situation.
For day-to-day college life I think you can get a lot from reading my regular articles on making friends.
Some of them are:
There really are tons of ways to meet people in university
The articles above will tell you most of the general principles you need to know.
One thing that makes university stand out is that there are so many opportunities to meet people.
As I mentioned earlier, some people have trouble forming a social life because no one ever laid out the for steps them.
They may think it's something that just happens.
If they don't have a lot of friends they may hole up in their room, try to hide their loneliness from the world, and feel sorry for themselves wondering why a social life hasn't 'happened' for them.
Making friends is a more active process, one you need to take charge of.
Once you know that, there are lots of options where you can meet people and get started:
The people on your floor in residence.
Or if you live with roommates, people you can meet through them... or you could just start hanging out with your roommates more if you don't already.
People in your classes.
You may automatically meet some people by getting assigned to do group work with them, but you can connect with others just by chatting to them before or after class, or during breaks.
Clubs, student associations, and hobby groups.
Most campuses have dozens of them.
Go to any that interest you.
If you don't meet anyone at one, don't get too discouraged.
Just try another.
Activity classes that are held off-campus, but nearby, and which mainly cater to students (e.g., dance lessons)
Joining a fraternity or sorority.
This is a great way to meet people, though it's obviously a bigger decision and not for everyone.
Fraternities and sororities are more of a factor in the U.S. than other countries.
They get somewhat of a bad rap for being a place where people 'buy their friends', and for being full of obnoxious bros or catty, dramatic princesses.
However, there are different types of fraternities or sororities, and not all of them are full of douchey party animal stereotypes.
Sports teams
Volunteering at the student newspaper, radio station, or for a student association.
Think of what skills you have that could be put to use?
Are you a decent artist that could draw posters for an association's events?
Could you design a club's web page?
Typical student part-time jobs, such as working at a restaurant or call center.
Through job placements and internships.
Don't use your school work as an excuse to not have a life
Some majors really do pile on the readings and labs and assignments.
Some fields also promote the idea that the only way to succeed is to be a robot that does nothing but study.
I think some people recognize that they have social problems but decide to throw their hat in with the idea that they're making a noble sacrifice by doing school work all the time.
Of course I don't think this is the way to go.
If you manage your time and priorities well you should have some time left over for socializing even in the most intense majors.
Not to mention that spending time with friends can be a great way to recharge and refresh yourself.
Other barriers to socializing that come up in university
This article gave some advice about what to do to make friends in college.
It kind of assumed that anyone reading the points could apply them, which isn't always the case.
Sometimes other issues, like shyness or not being able to relate to drinking culture, get in the way.
I cover those in this article:
