New ideas of destinations for an atypical spring break

Spring Break Bust

We're all so used to the boring old places for spring break. Mexico, Florida, Hawaii -- OK, maybe these places aren't so boring (especially if you've never been). However, many people have been experiencing a spring break destination limbo where they need something new and exciting. Here are six places you may have never thought of to visit for break this year!

1. Jamaica

Definitely an exotic location, Jamaica is easy to get to from just about anywhere. White sandy beaches will great you along with the perfect nightlife for college students.

2. New Orleans

As one of the most beautifully historic cities in the United States, New Orleans is a must-visit. For those not wiling to go international (or who maybe don't have a passport) this is the perfect new destination. Tour the French Quarter and experience the rich history of this Southern city.

3. Montreal

This is definitely not the typical spring break destination, but it's definitely worth the trip. If you're not into beaches and day parties in Mexico, Montreal serves as a nice cross-continental city in the always-friendly nation of Canada. Its French-influenced lifestyle is sure to please (and so are the croissants!).

4. New York City

Again, not exactly for those looking for white-sand beaches, but for city-goers who would like to stay in some chilly weather, this beautiful city is for you! NYC is host to tons of tourist attractions, e.g., Lady Liberty herself alongside a rich artistic society. See a Broadway show or stand under the bright lights of Lincoln Center to have an amazing break.

5. Vail, Colorado

Colorado has to be one of my favorite places in the U.S. For skiing and snow sports it's even better. High up in the mountains sits Vail, a gorgeous winter wonderland-like area full of ski resorts and class. Bring your snow gear and soak of the powder because Vail is the perfect winter-resort spot for the snow fans.

6. Disneyland or Disneyworld

I know it may sound silly, but c'mon. We all love anything Disney-related, and if you're staying close to home, why not have a few days of childlike fun in one of the happiest places on earth! Ride the Matterhorn, space mountain, or watch the firework display before close. No matter what age you are, Disney will never get old, especially for those hoping to get in touch with their childlike side this break.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
