CNN —Sometimes it only takes one visit to convince visitors to pack up their belongings and move to Bonaire permanently. “I fell in love with Bonaire,” Davis, now in her mid-60s, says of her initial visit. Bonaire, pronounced “Bone-air,” is located just off the coast of Venezuela, and it’s one of the three ABC islands: Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao.

It follows in the footsteps of the Château de Villiers-le-Mahieu, an upscale all-inclusive estate that opened its doors in 2019 in a wooded park 45 minutes outside Paris.

The result is more rejections, with some colleges touting their low acceptance rates (or high rejection rates, depending on your perspective). High interest rates and recession worries are leading to layoffs and a relative lag in hiring — so rejections are ample post-high school as well. Some graduate schools and even professionals are trying to combat the situation with their own rejection parties, rejection walls and even résumés filled only with rejections.
