6 Places You Must Visit During The Holidays

Stephanie Estrada

Christmas season, as well finals week, is among us and vacations are coming up soon, but planning vacations can certainly be a pain! I'm the kind of person who plans her vacations at the very last minute with my sister because everyone I know goes back to Nicaragua. However, drawing from my many new acquaintances and experiences this year, I've rounded up quite a few spots that make for a great mini - vacation destination. Many people would say that traveling during the holidays is extremely pricey, but there are still some few destinations that aren't so bad for your wallet. Here are just some of my favorite holiday destinations for a stress-free holiday season for both you and your wallet.

1. St. Petersburg / Clearwater- Florida

What else could you ask for! Just imagine yourself right now looking at this dreamy sunset and drinking some Chardonnay. St. Petersburg isn't that expensive to spend the holidays at all–– just look at this cozy room from Airbnb.

2. Nashville - Tennessee

Nashville is known for their awesome food and music. Last year's, Kings of Leon played a free concert for New Year's in Nashville. Yes, FREE. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to see some of you favorite artists perform for free and not return home broke. It might add a little cheer to your Christmas season.

3. Atlanta - Georgia

Maybe going to their 13th Annual Downtown Countdown might be a fun event to attend. This event includes 3 party areas, 3 DJ's, 1 band, and 4 comedians! That definitely sounds like fun.

4. Miami - Florida

Personally, I'm the kind of person who likes to do something low key for New Year's Eve. If the same is true for you, maybe going to Bayfront Park in Miami, Florida just might be for you! They play live music and have a countdown until midnight when fireworks ring in the New Year.

5. Key West - Florida

For those seeking relaxation, going down to Key West might be another perfect Christmas holiday destination for anyone. Florida has the best weather during December, which makes it a perfect place to relax and drink some margaritas on the beach.

6. HOME

Spending the holiday season with your family wouldn't be so bad, right? I love reconnecting with my parents and just have fun drinking wine. It's always good to go back home and enjoy the little things because life's short. As the year is coming to an end, remember that there's always time to change and new adventures are just around the corner.

Until the next one, lovely people! Happy holidays!

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

237

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.

Being A Senior: The Best And Worst Of It

Graduation is coming.

Loyola University Chicago

173

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.

Laugh, Cry, and Relate: Chandler Bing's Best Quotes

Because Chandler Bing should be everyone's spirit animal.

Stetson University

Zimbio

Ah, Ms. Chanandler Bong, or Chandler Bing as he is better known as. For 10 years, Chandler brought us many laughs, many tears, and, well, Matthew Perry's fame. He is, personally, my favorite character on "Friends" because he made me laugh more than any other character on the show and I felt like I could relate to him more than the other characters on the show. Anyway, here are 10 Chandler Bing quotes that anyone can relate to... or graduates can at least...
