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.

If you have been following me for a long time, then you know I write about two main things: relateable articles and communication media based articles. Now, it is time for me to combine the two. For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
