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.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
