11 Top Spring Break Hot Spots

Where's the beach?

Feb 22, 2016

Spring break is a mini vacation that every student looks forward too. If you're a college student, then you may be looking forward to spring break with more enthusiasm. When I hear spring break, I think of sitting on a nice warm beach surrounded by friends. Everyone has their own spring break stories, and it's time to get started on yours! Here are five top spring break hot spots and six popular places that you may want to consider going too this spring break!

1. Panama City Beach (PCB)

Whether you're looking to spring break for fun, drinks, music, friends, or clubbing, PCB has it! PCB is the prime college hot spot for spring break so please, do yourself a favor and Google PCB.

2. Inception Spring Break Cruise

This three-day cruise is a music festival at sea. With amazing music, good weather, and friends, is it the best spring break ever? I'd say so. Word has it that alcohol is paid for, so are you convinced yet?

3. Cancun, Mexico

Cancun, Mexico is the traditional hot spot for college students who want to enjoy their spring break. Hot beaches, beautiful people, and good drinks -- sounds like an ideal spring break to me.

4. Nassau, Bahamas

Student City is a website that helps college students find killer spring break hot spots at affordable prices. Nassau, Bahamas is one of those places. What better way to spend spring break than being on a tropical island?

5. Puta Cana, Dominican Republic

Last but definitely not least, Puta Cana, Dominican Republic. Here you can engage in activities like snorkeling, zip lining, and Bavaro Runners all while being in the nice hot sun and getting a tan!

Other hot spots include:

6. Daytona Beach, FL

Daytona Beach is definitely a hot spot for spring break. Here you can do whatever you want -- go shopping, lay on the beach, day drink, and way more!

7. Key West, FL

Key West is a beautiful place and will definitely give you the spring break of your dreams. Look at that clear blue water!

8. New Orleans, LA

It's safe to say that anything related to New Orleans means a good time!

9. South Padre, TX

If that pool party isn't enough for you to book the flight, then I don't know what will! Pool parties are the ultimate spring break activity.

10. Las Vegas, NV

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas -- especially if it's spring break week!

11. Miami Beach, FL

Take me to Miami! Miami Beach is a hot spot in general, but if you want a spring break that will literally blow your mind, go to MB.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but Kermit the Frog meme That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.

15 Ridiculous Things College Made Me Do (Part Two)

When you are on your own and tired, things happen.

If you haven't read the first part of this, I would highly suggest to, specifically because the Public Service Announcement placed in the beginning of that article still applies. If you don't feel like reading part one, I will try to cover it quickly. Basically, long story short, I am a pretty boring person and lead a pretty ordinary life. Due to this, please do not expect for the things I consider ridiculous to be what others may deem it. I promise that each of these I have done with a complete sane, mildly bored, brain. With all of this being said, please enjoy the semi-absurd things I have been lead to do in the second semester of my freshman year at college.

College is supposed to be one of the best times of your life. However, it is also one of the toughest transitions to make. There is so much anticipation and excitement leading up to moving into college. It doesn’t truly hit you until move in day when your parents say their final goodbyes and you see their car drive away. You truly are on your own. I was blessed to meet my best friends within the first week of school. Your college friends are so important and here’s why:

To go out or not to go out this Friday night...

Pregaming the pregame

Coming home after a long day

Waiting patiently for your roommates to come home/your friends to come over

People have arrived and it's time to eat

Talking about going out but make no real effort actually get ready to go out

Looking at the clock and realize, it's game time...and you're just not ready

Breaking out the wine because, well, if you're going out you may as well have one drink first.

Getting into a really deep philosophical conversation about life its meaning and your role in it

You start giving each other 'the look'

Weighing the options

Changing into your PJs, putting your hair in a messy bun, getting comfy on the couch and getting ready for your girls night in
