You make endless amounts of plans, excited to visit all your favorite locations back home with your high school friends. The summer is yours to do whatever you please until you realize that you are still a broke college student and all the desires of going out and doing what you want quickly get shut down.

If you live in big cities like Miami, New York, or California, doing something simple can quickly turn into an expensive activity without you even trying. That doesn't mean you have to stay at home bored all of summer, though!

Here are 10 budget-friendly activities for the broke college kid visiting Miami.

Go to the beach.

Miami has miles and miles of sandy beaches. Around this time, the beaches are not as packed as they would be during March and April, due to spring break, making them the perfect place to go and relax. The weather is perfect to take a dive into the Atlantic, and the sun is shining till late hours.

Explore Everglades National Park.

Get in touch with mother nature and visit the Everglades. The Everglades has an entrance fee of $25 per car and is good for seven days.

Stroll around Lincoln Road.

Lincoln Road is filled with restaurants, stores, musicians, and more. It is located in South Beach and it is the perfect spot to have a chill day or night with friends and family. Enjoy the live music along the street and maybe grab some ice cream.

Visit Little Havana.

Get a little taste of the Cuban culture in Little Havana. Experience authentic art, food, music, domino games, and shopping. Stop and pick up a Cuban cigar while you continue to stroll down Calle Ocho, getting the real Cuban experience.

Explore the art at the Wynwood Walls.

Wynwood is Miami's art district. Have a little photoshoot with friends by the Wynwood walls.

Live music at Bayside Marketplace.

Right next to the home of the Miami Heat, Bayside has waterfront bars and restaurants, shopping and live music playing every night.

Take a bicycle ride.

Miami is filled with amazing pathways for one to ride around. Hialeah's Amelia Earhart Park and Miami Beach's Rickenbacker Causeway are some of the many trails you can ride around.

Work on your summer body.

Throughout the summer, Miami offers many outdoor fitness classes like yoga and pilates. The City of Miami Parks and Recreational Department also offers free fitness classes on the beach.

Going to Happy Hour.

If you have ever been to Miami, then you know just how expensive drinks can be. That is why it is best to hit up Happy Hour with a couple of friends, enjoy the music, save a couple of bucks and get ready for the night.

Sneak into a hotel's pool.

Some hotels open up their private pools for the public on the weekend for free. The Confidante is one of those hotels that allows for non-hotel guest to come and enjoy the hot summer day.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
