Make Vegas Your Next Destination For Your Girls Trip

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

Make Vegas Your Next Destination For Your Girls Trip
Megan Martin

Since I have turned 21, last June, I have been to Vegas twice, both trips within five months of each other. Getting ready for my first trip, I didn't know if I would like the experience that comes with Las Vegas. Needless to say, my first Vegas experience was overall amazing and there were a few things that I wished I did but ended up doing it the second time.

My first trip to Vegas was in November of 2018. If you want to go to Vegas or enjoy going to Vegas, go after Thanksgiving and before Christmas, flights, and hotels are cheap and the weather was not hot but not cold either. I paid a total of $170 for my flight and hotel stay for four days and three nights.

I went with a couple of my friends who were able to get the time off. We had a blast and made decisions that made us say "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." We got information for a club promoter which allowed us to get on the guest list for any climb we wanted to get into, which lead to us getting free bottle service for the night. Let me just tell you, someone paid $70 for FOUR Fireball shots, I mean I could get four Fireball shots for less than $20 at a college bar in Iowa City.

During the four days and three nights, we went to Jewel Nightclub at the Aria hotel, Omnia Nightclub at Cesear's Palace and One Oak Nightclub. All great clubs, great music and if you are a person who likes to dance, just book your ticket and get yourself to Vegas already, even for a short weekend. We experienced Fremont Street, took in the cover bands that played, ziplined, rented bicycles and rode around Vegas and visited the Stratosphere and rode the rides at the top. I did gamble but just spent two dollars in the slot machines, but I lost it. Needless to say, gambling is not for me.

After my first trip, I reflected on the fours days spent there. I enjoyed the time and the experience I had gotten and was ready to go back in a heartbeat.

The second time around was after I moved to Utah. Being a five to six-hour drive away from Vegas is a pretty nice location to be in. My roommate and I drove down after work on Friday. We got in just before 10 p.m. My roommate had gotten ready on the drive down, all I had to do was change into the outfit I had planned and swipe on some eye shadow, mascara, and lipstick. I contacted a Club Promoter I met and we went to the Hakassan Nightclub.

The whole reason that my roommate and I made the trip to Vegas was to attend the Magic Mike Live Show. I seriously recommend going. The show was amazing, the men were hot and you'll have the time of your life if you choose some good seats.

The experience that I received from the show was a free foot rub, a red rose tossed to me, and some close action.

The second time around, I got to experience more of Vegas during the day time. We walked around Las Vegas strip. Took in the hustle and bustle of the city filled with worker and tourists. We watched the fountain show at the Bellagio, visited M&M World and other stores along the strip.

I am still waiting to get a group of my closest girlfriends together to go spend a few days in Vegas.

Now get your friends, get dressed up and have a wild time in Sin City.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.
