4 Places to go to this Spring Break

The first semester is nearing an end and already I'm thinking of Spring break. When it comes to Spring break, most college students think of a week in Miami or another tropical paradise but with those vacations come to an expensive price tag. But you can have fun for the week without going broke. Here are 4 destinations to take the stress away.

1. Cuba

If you want to hot-weather and beaches this is the place for you. You'll be taken back in time to a different time period with classic cars from the 1950s in Old Havana and bright beautiful architecture. And you don't have to worry about going over budget. Airbnbs can go for about $40 a night. Airfare is also very affordable. If you love cigars, salsa dancing, and art, this is the spot for you.

2. Montreal

If you like road tripping with friends, make Montreal, Canada the place to go. Driving with friends already saves you money versus flying. Eating out also doesn't have to cost you a ton and many art museums offer free admission. And if you enjoy cathedrals be sure to visit the Basilique Notre-Dame.

3. Portugal

If you're looking to travel to Europe check out Lisbon, Portugal. Whether it's amazing architecture, a long history, and great cuisine, Portugal has it all. You can get a city pass for about 19 euros that give you free admission to museums, monasteries, and even transportation.

4. St. Petersburg, Russia

This definitely isn't a destination most people think of to vacation at but there's so much to do here that a week might not even be enough. St. Petersburg is rich in history and the city reflects it. Walk down the central road and you'll pass by beautiful buildings and architecture. And if you love museums, there's no shortage of them.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
