JUly EDITORletter from the
My favorite place on earth is surrounded by water: Cozumel, Mexico -- an island in the middle of the Caribbean ocean with phenomenal beaches, cuisine and people.
My first experience in Cozumel will always be the most memorable. I was a junior in high school and had decided to spend my Thanksgiving break giving back at an orphanage in Cozumel. About three weeks before we were scheduled to go to Cozumel, Hurricane Wilma hit the island and caused mass destruction and devastation. We almost didn‚t get to go on our trip because of the damage. However, the people of Cozumel couldn’t have needed us more.
When we arrived, very few people were on the island. Some of the houses where the children of the orphanage lived were damaged during the storm, as well as many of the shops, roads and parks that the locals used on a daily basis. We had to get to work quickly.
During my time there, I completely fell in love with the people and culture of Cozumel. Despite the circumstances, the natives were always very grateful and joyful. They opened their homes and their hearts to us. Although much of their lives were turned upside-down, they continued on the best that they could and started to rebuild their lives.
I remember leaving the tiny airport thinking that my heart would forever be in Cozumel.For five more Thanksgivings, I traveled to Cozumel to help with the orphanage. Year after year, the people of Cozumel began to rebuild their city and lives.
I’ve returned to Cozumel many times since the first time I arrived, but none of those trips will ever be as special. Seeing how the people rallied around one another and appreciated the true beauty of the island was just magical.
Cozumel is my favorite place on earth not because of the beautiful coral reefs or Aztec treasures, but because of the people.

GUYS: WHAT’S HOT AT THE POOL?Girls if you’re wondering what to take with you to the pool or if guys are going to be paying attention to your bathing suit, have no fear because we have the answers! BLVD surveyed guys
throughout Athens to find what they’re thinking while poolside.
HOW OFTEN DO YOU HIT UP THE POOL TO TAN?
45%
35%
20%
Never.
Sometimes.
Occasionally.
WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO HELP A GIRL WITH SUNTAN LOTION NO MATTER WHAT SHE LOOKS
LIKE?
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE SUMMER DRINK?
“My favorite drink would be horchata, which is a traditional Latin American drink, and is perfect for the hot summer weather!”
-John, 21
“Vodka cranberry with ice of course.”
-Gabe, 22
“Tequila sunrise. It is sweet and
refreshing, and always guarantees a great day at the pool or night out.”
-Chase, 21
85%of guys said that they notice the body behind the
bathing suit and how it looks on a girl. Several did take time to point out that they
notice bright colors and cool patterns quicker.
DO YOU THINK GIRLS SHOULD WEAR
MAKEUP TO THE POOL?
With an almost unanimous answer, guys voted that a girl should NOT wear make-up to
the pool.
DO YOU ACTUALLY
NOTICE WHAT A GIRL’S
BATHING SUIT LOOKS LIKE? I.E. PATTERNS,
COLORS,.., WHAT DO YOU
PAY ATTENTION
TO?
WHATS THE ONE THING A GIRL SHOULD BRING TO THE POOL?
While there were practical answers such as sunscreen and a towel,
the most popular answer was beer.
“I do notice colors a lot, patterns and
such, not so much unless they’re
distinct. Of course being a human being, I pay attention to physical features as well. I consider
myselfan
appreciator of female beauty.”
-James,22
60%of men voted that
they would be more likely to help you with suntan lotion that not.The odds are ever in
our favor ladies!
“Not gonna lie. It would be awkward, especially because
I have a girlfriend. But sometimes you gotta be a
good samaritan.”Anil, 21
