Wild Las Vegas meets southern charm.

A few weeks ago, I went to Nashville for my 21st birthday. Man, oh man, is that city filled with a wild side. I saw multiple signs of Nashville being called "Nashvegas." The best part is that it's true. Nashville is becoming a more popular destination for just about every reason.

1. Nashville is relatively cheap

Although prices have gone up over the past year or so, Nashville still remains ridiculously cheaper than Las Vegas. Nashville is a shorter flight and drive for many of us, giving us the opportunity to have more of a weekend getaway. Especially as a college student or a young professional, you don't want to break the bank in order to visit somewhere. Nashville truly offers everything you could want in a weekend.

2. The nightlife (and daylife!)

I've never experienced a city that has more nightlife than Nashville. It has quickly become the number one destination for bachelorette parties across the country. While I was there, I saw so many bachelorette parties. Plus, the bars were spectacular. Turn right onto Broadway Street, and you've got a plethora of bars to choose from. It was seriously just one bar after another; you are destined to have a great time while bar-hopping. One of my favorite aspects of Broadway Street was the amount of live music each bar/restaurant offered. There was a never-ending stream of musicians that were ready to play for me while I drank a cold one with my people. The best bars I went to while I was there were Luke Bryan's, FGL House, Jason Aldean's and Tootsies. Tootsies is incredible because it's one of the original establishments on Broadway Street. I highly recommend visiting that bar if you get the chance.

3. The close proximity to everything

Everything you needed was located within a four-block radius. While you're in Nashville, all you're really going to want to do is party. All the bars are super close to the hotels and the airport is only a 10-minute drive from downtown, which is quite convenient.

4. Not a fan of bars? No problem!

Nashville is known for its wild nightlife, but there are other things to do besides drink. Nashville offers museums of country music stars, such as Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton and many others. On top of that, Nashville is the home to the Country Music Hall of Fame, which gives an overview of artists like Johnny Cash, George Strait and many more.

5. Nashville itself

Nashville is located right on the river and offers a beautiful backdrop to the city. Not only is this city home to some of the best nightlife in the country, it offers that southern charm mixed with big city living. There are so many lovely places to see and visit, and you can't forget that Nashville is home to the Ivy League of the South - Vanderbilt! This city is truly one of a kind, and I encourage each and everyone of you to visit it at least once in your lifetime.

Nashville has transformed itself from a measly southern city into a full-blown metropolitan. This city will continue to grow and bring in new people every day; don't miss out on this country dream.

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.
