(5/1) 5 Amazing Places Every College Student Should Visit This Summer

With finals almost over, and summer in such a close reach, it is time to plan our trips for the summer.

1. Charleston, South Carolina, USA

Courtney Leigh Taylor

Charleston is a super cute city on the beach in South Carolina, and there is so much to see and do.

First on my list to see is the famous pineapple fountain which is nestled in the Waterfront Park. It is the perfect photo op for your Instagram and a nice little place to cool down after shopping. Next, I love Rainbow Row which is a cute little row of houses that range in so many different colors. Lastly, for shopping, you need to stop by the Historic City Market for cute handmade goods and trinkets.

However, if you're looking for more retail stores there are The Shops at Belmond Charleston Place which has Forever 21, Lush, and so much more.

2. Nassau, Bahamas

Courtney Leigh Taylor

Nassau is one of my favorite tropical places to visit in the Caribbean. Some key highlights include the Queen's Staircase, Atlantis, Cabbage Beach, and Rum Cake Factory. The water is so clear no matter what beach you go to on the island, and most beaches offer a wide variety of water activities to do such as jet skis, boat rides, and even snorkeling.

3. Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Courtney Leigh Taylor

If you are a big fan of cities full of history, and cobblestone streets, then Boston is the town for you! I recommend going to a Red Sox game if you can. The stadium has a pretty view of the cityscape behind it, and the spirit of the fans is like no other. I also recommend you hop on a boat and go whale watching. The boats take you out to the harbor so as you are going away form the city it makes for good photo opportunities and then you get to see the whales in their natural habitat.

4. London, England

Courtney Leigh Taylor

London will always be my favorite city as it was my first international trip. You should visit all the typical tourist points like the Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, and Big Ben. However, I also recommend trying out some of the less touristy spots like take a Jack the Ripper tour where your stroll London's street at night hearing the stories of London's most famous killer, or check out the view of the city at Primrose Hill.

5. Washington D.C., USA

Courtney Leigh Taylor

One trip you need to go on before you die is our Nation's Capital, Washington D.C. D.C. is so beautiful during Cherry Blossom season from March to April, but it is just as pretty in the summer. Museums are a must in the Capital from the Smithsonian to the Holocaust Museum to the International Spy Museum.

Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Mouse, Cookie, Chaos!

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
