5 Budget-Friendly Places To Travel To This Summer

The stigma of summer is that in order to have a great summer that you must travel to some amazing place and post it all over Instagram. While those places sound and are amazing, they tend to break the bank. Being as the majority of us are college students, we don't really have a lot of money to just throw at a vacation. I want to tell you about ten places you can visit this summer that won't break the bank.

1. Take a trip to a local beach

While my college may be in Missouri and have no beach nearby, you can always take a weekend road trip with some friends and drive down to Florida or South Carolina and enjoy an inexpensive beach getaway. You don't have to travel all the way to Hawaii or Europe in order to enjoy a little sand and water.

2. Day trip hikes on local trails

Some of the best trips are ones where you explore around the area you live in. One way you can do this is to check out any local hiking spots or trails nearby.

3. Day trip to a local downtown shopping area

If hiking is not your thing, I recommend taking a day trip to a local town you may have not been to and walk around their downtown shopping district and check out some local coffee shops or restaurants.

4. Visit a National Park

Visit a national park is probably one of the most rewarding places you could ever visit and most of the parks are free to visit. Like, the Great Smokey Mountains.

5. Go on a cruise

While in the past, going on a cruise vacation was a luxury but now they have become more affordable and still include luxury amenities.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
