February has officially arrived, which can only mean one thing: Spring break is right around the corner! Will you tighten your beach body and make way to California as usual, or will you try something new this year? In case you decide to branch out from the typical destination, here are a few places to keep in mind:

1. Vancouver, Canada

Where outdoors enthusiasm meets inner-city excitement, Vancouver has a little bit of something for everyone. Grab your passport, pick your method of transportation, and begin an adventure Canadian style!

2. Havasupai Falls, Arizona

Big fan of hiking? Give this trek a try! Havasupai falls will leave you with an entirely new appreciation for nature and a craving for more adventures in the Arizona wilderness.

3. New York, New York

Trade in your bikini for a Broadway ticket this spring break! New York City, although a little chilly in March, can be a fun destination for diversity, history, and the bright lights of a city that never sleeps!

4. Austin, Texas

Tour the infamous 6th street and learn how locals here find ways to keep it weird. Austin is perfect for the little hippie hiding inside each and every one of us.

5. Boulder, Colorado

Do you like beer? Do you like mountains? Then you should probably check out Boulder. Also, it has a lot of young life and adventure opportunities which is perfect for a unique spring break trip.

6. Lake Havasu, Arizona

There's something about lakes and boats that turn people into complete animals. Climb on top of a keg or party all night with some of the craziest college students you'll ever meet.

7. Park City, Utah

Did someone say ski trip? Have the time of your life and meet people from around the world in this dream winter sports destination. One thing's for sure: Utah holds the key to the ultimate adventure.

8. Anywhere in Hawaii

Still craving the ocean and sand between your toes? Hawaii is perfect for the outdoors enthusiast, the beach bum, and the party animal. Catch some waves and enjoy some great hikes and fun people!

9. Las Vegas, Nevada

For the bravest of party animals, Las Vegas will not disappoint. Gamble by night and hit up the pool parties and raves by day. There is something happening 24/7, so sleep may not be an option.

10. New Orleans, Louisiana

Immerse yourself in culture and have an amazing time enjoying everything the Crescent City has to offer. Good food, great nightlife, and memories unlike any other will wait for you in this gem of a town.

11. Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Spring break in the Smokies has more in store than one may think. Climb off the beaten path with hikes, white water rafting, and sky lifts. Or, enjoy the hospitality of a mountain town and have a spring break you'll never forget.

No matter where you go or what you do this spring break, remember to stay safe and enjoy everything your location has to offer. Forget about exams, let go, and live in the moment that you have been given.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
