As a decently well-versed traveler for my age, I constantly find myself procrastinating my schoolwork with more important things — non-existent trips. I love researching, planning and putting new types of trips together. The world is home to so many different travel destinations — whether it's a historical city, or a sprawling beach, here are some beautiful travel destinations you need to incorporate into your next trip:

1. Dinan, France

A historical city in Northwest France, Dinan is loaded with castles, museums and history, and merchants have taken place in the city for more than 700 years. It actually escaped the bombings of the Second World War. Dinan has many traditional French restaurants along the river.

2. Blagaj, Bosnia and Herzegovina

This is where history meets beauty; it's where beautiful monastery lies beneath a cliff next to a natural waterfall. Restaurants line the river that runs through, with beautiful views. There's also a boat ride that takes tourists and locals alike to see the monastery, while stopping at other scenic spots along the way.

3. The Magical Halle Forest, Belgium

This magical forest is covered with Bluebell flowers, and sometimes has a slight fog. I think the picture does all of the work -- how beautiful.

4. The Canola Flower Fields in China

Only available for certain times of the year, the Canola Flower Fields in China can make for a beautiful sight. You can literally see the flowers for miles. They're even referred to as a "golden sea."

5. Anguilla, Caribbean

The beaches in Anguilla stretch miles. Out of all of the islands in the Caribbean, why is Anguilla the perfect one? The beaches are lined with authentic local bars for the most traditional Caribbean experience. You can rock climb, and view other islands from just one. Water sports are one of the most popular activities on the island.

6. Hocking Hills State Park, Ohio

Hocking Hills State Park is made up of unique, beautiful rock formations and waterfalls. The park is nearly 3,500 acres -- perfect for an avid hiker. You can hunt, fish and picnic. There are even water recreation activities. The best part? You can go explore the park for free.

7. Ischia, Italy

Ischia is a small, volcanic island off of Naples. There's a beach with hot springs, the Argonese medieval castle and museums. Admission to activities is also very affordable.

8. Meissen, Germany

Meissen is a small German town with a population of about 30,000. The history is extensive, with a castle being the main focal point of the town. There are markets with traditional German food and knick-knacks.

9. Koh Lipe, Thailand

Koh Lipe is a small island near Malaysia's border. It has waters filled with coral reefs. There are resorts, and bungalows available for stay. There are a large number of sandy beaches that can accommodate many different types of travelers: relaxed, outgoing, etc.

10. Cinque Terre, Italy

Last but certainly not least: Cinque Terre, Italy. Though you may have seen this picture on Pinterest, you may not know anything about this series of magical cities. Cinque Terre literally means "five cities" in Italian. You can pay as little as 10 euros to travel between all five cities — each with its own special Italian flare. In each of the colorful towns, the Mediterranean Sea flows, vineyards are everywhere, little shops line the streets and every inlet is filled with little fishing boats.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
