We're all so used to the boring old places for spring break. Mexico, Florida, Hawaii -- OK, maybe these places aren't so boring (especially if you've never been). However, many people have been experiencing a spring break destination limbo where they need something new and exciting. Here are six places you may have never thought of to visit for break this year!

1. Jamaica

Definitely an exotic location, Jamaica is easy to get to from just about anywhere. White sandy beaches will great you along with the perfect nightlife for college students.

2. New Orleans

As one of the most beautifully historic cities in the United States, New Orleans is a must-visit. For those not wiling to go international (or who maybe don't have a passport) this is the perfect new destination. Tour the French Quarter and experience the rich history of this Southern city.

3. Montreal

This is definitely not the typical spring break destination, but it's definitely worth the trip. If you're not into beaches and day parties in Mexico, Montreal serves as a nice cross-continental city in the always-friendly nation of Canada. Its French-influenced lifestyle is sure to please (and so are the croissants!).

4. New York City

Again, not exactly for those looking for white-sand beaches, but for city-goers who would like to stay in some chilly weather, this beautiful city is for you! NYC is host to tons of tourist attractions, e.g., Lady Liberty herself alongside a rich artistic society. See a Broadway show or stand under the bright lights of Lincoln Center to have an amazing break.

5. Vail, Colorado

Colorado has to be one of my favorite places in the U.S. For skiing and snow sports it's even better. High up in the mountains sits Vail, a gorgeous winter wonderland-like area full of ski resorts and class. Bring your snow gear and soak of the powder because Vail is the perfect winter-resort spot for the snow fans.

6. Disneyland or Disneyworld

I know it may sound silly, but c'mon. We all love anything Disney-related, and if you're staying close to home, why not have a few days of childlike fun in one of the happiest places on earth! Ride the Matterhorn, space mountain, or watch the firework display before close. No matter what age you are, Disney will never get old, especially for those hoping to get in touch with their childlike side this break.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
