11 Hottest Summer Vacations

Still looking for the hottest US destinations to add to your summer roadtrip? Look no further. I’ve scoured the Internet for travel rankings and found where you should travel to make this summer the most lit year ever. Spoiler: it includes the Sunshine State, the Valley of the Sun, and the Sun City, so make sure to bring sunscreen.

1. Phoenix, AZ

In the heart of the Valley of the Sun, this is a bustling city you don't want to miss. Who can resist cacti, sand, and plenty of sunshine?

2. Las Vegas, NV

Although I'm not allowed to suggest acts of sin, I can recommend Sin City. And what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, so nobody has to know if things get a bit steamy in the desert.

3. Dallas, TX

The Big D implies a different kind of hot, but rest assured, there's plenty of UV and heat to go around.

4. Miami, FL

I'm not sure if Miami is part of Florida or Cuba, but it's equal parts palm tree and cityscape, and it sure is a hot beach, especially for college students.

5. Tampa, FL

Florida's west coast has sunsets to die for, but also enough sunshine to roast you from the inside out. You might want to reapply that sunscreen before hitting up Tampa Bay.

6. Austin, TX

Cross the Gulf of Mexico again and you'll find another popular city; I hope you're interested in the history of Texas, because that's all you'll find here.

7. Surprise, AZ

I can't tell if the surprise is supposed to be third degree burns or some other form of summer enjoyment, but at least it sounds cute.

8. Coachella Valley, CA

One word: sunscreen. You've seen far too many post-Coachella sunburns, usually from intricately woven shirts. It's one of the hottest music festivals, literally.

9. New Orleans, LA

Everyone wants to go to The Big Easy, right? Parts of town are technically below sea level and the Louisiana coast is a literal swamp, but that hasn't stopped anyone yet. At least if you get hot, you're only a few states away from the beach...

10. Oklahoma City, OK

Is there anything to do in Oklahoma other than sing OOOOOklahoma where the wind goes sweepin' down the plain? Maybe not. But if your bucket list isn't at least 58% musicals, you're doing it wrong.

11. New Haven, CT


Especially popular for Yalies and confused high schoolers, the lack of AC is the icing on the cake. Besides, you wouldn't enjoy your Arethusa ice cream if it didn't feel like a million degrees both outside and inside.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
