Thanks, Airbnb!

Thanks to the help of Airbnb, travel is made significantly cheap. For college students like me, cheap is essential. Below are the top ten stays, one in each of your top travel destinations, that won’t hurt next semester’s budget.

1. Milan, Italy

It isn’t a suite, nor is it a bachelor’s pad, but for only $85 a night, it’s a charming little home in the fashion capital of the world-- you can’t beat that.

2. Minsk, Belarus

I’ve yet to come across a more unique place, in a city booming with rich history. A weekend to Minsk is worth it for only $32 a night.

3. St. Lucia, Caribbean

This beautiful bungalow is steps away from the beach-- you won’t find a place that reminds you of the Caribbean, even while you’re inside!

4. Machu Picchu, Peru

For those who have always wanted to hike Machu Picchu and see what all of the wonder is about, this place is for you! From any point in the apartment, there are panoramic views of the mountains day and night.

5. Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia

To have the opportunity to be only steps away from one of the most beautiful beaches in the world right outside of your door (with full access to one of the Seven Wonders of the World) and still be only fifteen minutes from downtown is to come only once in a lifetime.

6. Esterillos Oeste, Costa Rica

In this Costa Rica gem, your private loft opens up to the jungle… where you can sit on your wrap around deck and look at the ocean… while using your high-speed wifi… in the jungle.

7. San Sebastian, Spain

For those city dwellers, this sleek apartment in the heart of San Sebastian, Spain is perfect for you! By far the most expensive on the list, it still only comes in at $130 a night.

8. Phuket, Thailand

With one of the most unique gyms I have ever seen, this penthouse in Phuket comfortable accommodates up to six guests-- so this isn’t a trip you would want to take alone!

9. Bali, Indonesia

In one of the most relaxing places in the world, you are only minutes away from volcanic mountains, the most beautiful beaches to see and incredible hiking-- all to be seen just outside of your private villa.

10. Paros, Greece

This apartment displays the exact style and decor you would expect from a Greek pad! You can see both the town and shore right under your balcony.

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you
