It's that time of the year, spring semester is almost over and summer is right around the corner.

Everyone is planning their summer getaway trips and, depending on the city or country you plan on visiting, it can be pricey. As someone who loves to travel and loves trying new things and getting out of my comfort zone, I have done my research on traveling without breaking the bank and traveling on a budget. From a place to stay, flights, and food you can travel and not have to worry about expenses because you budgeted right.

Here's a few ways to travel, enjoy your stay, and not break the bank.


Accommodations

Nothing breaks the bank more than choosing a flight last minute and with the wrong airline. If you want the cheapest flights, book your flight on a Tuesday around midnight. Take the first flight in the morning; there's less people, which means short lines through security. Catch the red eye; these flights are from west to east, and this essentially shortens the night flight across time zones. Also, another great way is flying for free. Sign up for a few travel credit cards, collect miles and fly for free.

Go Dutch

Travel with your pals or significant other and split the bill. Everyone pays their fair share of the hotel, airbnb, car, flight, food, and whatever activities you plan on doing. This way no one has to break the bank to accommodate everyone. At the end of the day, everyone enjoys themselves while making new memories. Just remember: you do not have to be rich to travel.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
