15 Places The Average US College Girl Can Travel In 2018, Even If They Are Broke AF

Those who have a guilty weakness to travel (like myself), there are positive pros and extreme cons. One of the cons traveling offers is a large price tag.

Having a student quota, it seems nearly impossible to travel anywhere outside of the country. Normally, I would suggest taking a trip to your local city and explore it in depth. But, it has come to my attention that there are several cities that are an easy commute by car and/or plane, and they are inexpensive, which is a double win.

In Arizona:

Grand Canyon

Surprisingly there is a town called Supai Village located at the base of the Grand Canyon.

In California:

San Diego

San Diego produces the most avocados in the United States.

In Colorado:

Denver

Denver has the most walkable downtowns in the nation.

In Florida:

Daytona

You can drive and park your car on the beaches of Daytona.

Jacksonville

Jacksonville is the largest city in the continental United States with over 840 square miles.

In Georgia:

Atlanta

You just gotta visit the “Dirty South” just once and experience what Atlanta’s nightlife has to offer.

Dahlonega

Dahlonega is a very small town in the mountains, but they have great wineries to choose from. And trust me, you would want to go back for some more.

Savannah

Want a mixture of southern history, small city feel, and the beach? This lovely city in south Georgia is perfect for you then.

In Louisiana:

New Orleans

Get those Vegas and Nashville vibes with a twist of French.

In New Mexico:

Albuquerque

Who wouldn’t want to visit where “High School Musical” was filmed?

In Tennessee:

Chattanooga

The Rock City Gardens, Riverbend Festival (a week-long music festival), and the nightlife will make you feel like a local.

Gatlinburg

Visiting the Great Smoky Mountains in the cooler season is to die for!

Memphis

Elvis Presley is from here. Do I need to say more?

Nashville

Las Vegas is very pricey, especially for being on a tight budget. But, Nashville never fails and there is so much you can do from dusk 'til dawn.

In Texas:

San Antonio

This city has been named “every Texan’s favorite city.”

Even though I only named 15 southern cities; that does not mean these are the only cities available to visit on a short college budget. These cities have a mixture of historic sites for during the day activities and killer nightlife if and when you want to paint the town red with your company.

Experience. Explore. Enjoy.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

StableDiffusion

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.

13. But then you remember rent is due tonight and the anger comes back.
