February has officially arrived, which can only mean one thing: Spring break is right around the corner! Will you tighten your beach body and make way to California as usual, or will you try something new this year? In case you decide to branch out from the typical destination, here are a few places to keep in mind:

1. Vancouver, Canada

Where outdoors enthusiasm meets inner-city excitement, Vancouver has a little bit of something for everyone. Grab your passport, pick your method of transportation, and begin an adventure Canadian style!

2. Havasupai Falls, Arizona

Big fan of hiking? Give this trek a try! Havasupai falls will leave you with an entirely new appreciation for nature and a craving for more adventures in the Arizona wilderness.

3. New York, New York

Trade in your bikini for a Broadway ticket this spring break! New York City, although a little chilly in March, can be a fun destination for diversity, history, and the bright lights of a city that never sleeps!

4. Austin, Texas

Tour the infamous 6th street and learn how locals here find ways to keep it weird. Austin is perfect for the little hippie hiding inside each and every one of us.

5. Boulder, Colorado

Do you like beer? Do you like mountains? Then you should probably check out Boulder. Also, it has a lot of young life and adventure opportunities which is perfect for a unique spring break trip.

6. Lake Havasu, Arizona

There's something about lakes and boats that turn people into complete animals. Climb on top of a keg or party all night with some of the craziest college students you'll ever meet.

7. Park City, Utah

Did someone say ski trip? Have the time of your life and meet people from around the world in this dream winter sports destination. One thing's for sure: Utah holds the key to the ultimate adventure.

8. Anywhere in Hawaii

Still craving the ocean and sand between your toes? Hawaii is perfect for the outdoors enthusiast, the beach bum, and the party animal. Catch some waves and enjoy some great hikes and fun people!

9. Las Vegas, Nevada

For the bravest of party animals, Las Vegas will not disappoint. Gamble by night and hit up the pool parties and raves by day. There is something happening 24/7, so sleep may not be an option.

10. New Orleans, Louisiana

Immerse yourself in culture and have an amazing time enjoying everything the Crescent City has to offer. Good food, great nightlife, and memories unlike any other will wait for you in this gem of a town.

11. Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Spring break in the Smokies has more in store than one may think. Climb off the beaten path with hikes, white water rafting, and sky lifts. Or, enjoy the hospitality of a mountain town and have a spring break you'll never forget.

No matter where you go or what you do this spring break, remember to stay safe and enjoy everything your location has to offer. Forget about exams, let go, and live in the moment that you have been given.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
