So, you're a broke college student dreaming of traveling the world when you finally pay off your student loan debt... right? Well, let me feed into your wanderlust with these killer destinations that should be on your "before-I-die" bucket list.

1. Major's Spot Cay, Bahamas

Alright, so I went on a sailboat cruise with some kick-ass people in the summer of 2015 around the Bahamas, and it was probably the best and most incredible experience I've ever had. During our sailing tour, we stopped at the Hog Island which is located at Major's Spot Cay, Bahamas. Of course, the water in the Bahamas is crystal clear, but if you're an animal lover, it's fun to go feed and swim with the "domesticated" pigs.

2. Honolulu, Hawaii

When I was still in high school, my band traveled to the Pearl Harbor Memorial in Hawaii to perform at the Memorial Day event. We had some extra travel time and spent lots of time hanging out around the shopping district (which is AWESOME if you're a shopaholic like me) and the water and scenery is just beautiful. Fair warning, the water is REALLY rough around certain points of the year.

3. Las Pozas, Mexico

If you like abandon-esque places like me, this place is a gem. Las Pozas, Mexico is actually the work of the Englishman, Edward James, who was a founder of the Surrealist art movement. This 80-acre plot of land is filled with surrealist sculptures that can reach up to four stories tall.

4. Aurora Borealis in Alaska

One of my dreams has always been to see the Northern Lights from Alaska. Night time is the most beautiful to me, and I would die happy just to see them.

Yes, I know you can see them from other northernmost areas of the world, but I'm an American and don't need a passport to fly to Alaska... lol

5. Palace of Versailles, France

This. IS. Beautiful. Go France.

6. Pink Lake in Australia

Apparently, the pink color comes from the algae that grows in the lake.

Enough said.

7. Grand Canyon, AZ, USA


Yes, it's cliché, but it's beautiful. Honestly, who wouldn't want to see this beauty?

8. Playa del Amore, Mexico

Also known as "Hidden Beach," the only way you can see it is from the air, and the only entrance is a tunnel from the ocean to the underground shore. Wouldn't that be awesome?

9. Lock Bridge in France

10. Red Beach, Panjin, China

Red's my favorite color. I think it's now my new favorite beach.

11. Antelope Canyon, AZ

This site is located in the LeChee chapter of the Navajo Nation in Arizona. The Antelope Canyon site is two separate canyons, an upper and a lower, and flash flooding created these beatufiul canyons.

12. Swing at the "End of the World," Ecuador

If you're afraid of heights, I don't recommend... but you adrenaline junkies out there may appreciate! Isn't this a beautiful site?

Let's make some travel plans.

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.
