The Top 5 Spring Break Destinations For College Students

In honor of Spring Break this week, I'm listing my top 5 Spring Break locations for college students that are looking to get away, have some fun, or, like me, get out of the cold!

1. Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

Cabo has been a popular spring break destination for years and will most likely continue to be a great spot for the foreseeable future. Cabo has beautiful beaches, warm weather, and plenty of amenities such as golf, restaurants, and bars.

2. Tampa, Florida

Tampa is a somewhat overlooked spring break destination but is actually quite popular. Tampa has plenty to offer including miles of beaches, golf courses, and one of America's best amusement parks, Busch Gardens. Tampa is also great for people that are not looking to spend a lot of money and is one of the cheapest spring break destinations.

3. South Padre Island, Texas


Similar to Tampa, South Padre is quite affordable for everyone. I am actually going here for spring break this year and was happy I didn't have to break the bank to do it. South Padre also hosts large concert events throughout the week with a number of artists. Warm temperatures and plenty of water activities such as kite boarding and sailing are also what make South Padre a great destination.

4. New Orleans, Louisiana


In the theme of picking different states for each destination, New Orleans is another great spot. New Orleans offers great nightlife and food as well as beautiful buildings and scenery. Only possible downside is not being located right on a beach but from the Gulf of Mexico is not far away! A bit on the pricier end as far as spring break goes but should be well worth your money.

5. Los Angeles, California


For those on the west coast, or people on the east coast really looking to get away, L.A. is an obvious choice. L.A. offers warm temperatures year-round and the ocean is only about 15 miles away. With several large colleges in the area and beautiful scenery, L.A. typically gets a pretty large spring break crows.

Honorable Mentions

Panama City Beach, Florida

PCB, like Cabo and South Padre, has been a popular spring break spot for many years. PCB offers many high quality restaurants and bars, concert performances, and an amusement park. Definitely a good choice for anyone.

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

For those looking for a more relaxing spring break, Myrtle Beach is a great choice. Myrtle Beach does offer great nightlife as well as parties and concerts on the beach but is more subtle than other places and doesn't attract as large of a crowd.

I hope everyone going on a spring break trip stays safe, keeps warm, and, above all else, enjoys themselves! Thank You.

It was the second time this year after an historic geomagnetic storm in May 2024. Those Northern Lights were visible in Europe and North America, just like this latest rendition.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
