With August coming up soon and the summer of 2016 drawing to a close, this is around the cheapest time to vacation! Here are the top five cities to visit in the U.S.

1. Daytona, Florida

If you're looking for a beach getaway that's drivable (being in Texas and all), then I'd highly recommend Daytona! This city gets very populated the time spring break rolls around, but for a late summer vacay? The beaches population will be kept to medium sized and vendors will be out looking to sell you some amazing on the beach food! Not to mention Daytona does bring in more elderly couples and has more golf courses to count on one hand! This gives the family a perfect friendly vibe, along with relaxation for the adults.

2. Savannah, Georgia

I recommend this for people looking for a more relaxed vacation. A historic presence is what makes up Savannah's glory. I will say, the weather is very hot and somewhat humid, however with the indoor museums and restaurants to try it'll be worth it. There are many things to keep occupied while in Savannah, it just takes some time to do some research before heading over!

3. Yosemite National Park, California

If you're an adventurous person and love the outdoors, this is just the place! Yosemite National Park brings in a lot of tourists annually, but the all the views from hiking make this all the worth while. Along with it's 1,200 square miles it won't feel crowded at all. So if interested in hiking alongside nature on a sunny California day, this is just the national park to do it.

4. Timberline Lodge and Ski Area, Oregon

Maybe the summer just isn't your season, and that's okay! The heat is only getting hotter each year, which is why I'm recommending a snow vacation getaway! The Timberline Lodge in Oregon has plenty of snow all year round and is a safe haven decked with gourmet meals, and offers many activities.

So whatever the weather or style of vacation you're feeling this year, the whole U.S. awaits for you to discover it! And if you can't get to it this year, make plans for next summer or even for this upcoming Christmas!

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Sam Houston State University

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

1. Wallow.

2. Cry.

3. Get Angry.

4. Tell Someone You Love Them.

5. Forgive.

6. Let go of the negative people in your life.

7. Be yourself.

8. Swallow Your Pride.

9. Stop Freaking Out Over Your Body.

10. Say No.

11. Accept Love.
