Your Quick Guide to Bimini

Everything you need to know about the Bahamian island just 50 miles from Miami.

The island of Bimini, Bahamas is just 50 miles away from Miami. This is good news considering the island is home to the beautiful Resorts World Bimini, which recently opened a Hilton Hotel on its property.

The newly done Hilton is home to beautiful pools, amazing bars, great service and fun events. During your time at the resort, my suggestion is to do absolutely nothing. Just lounge by the pool, order some food and drink some tropical drinks...Bimini will do the rest.

This weekend, Resorts World kicked off their new concert series with performances by Dru Hill and 112. The series will run throughout the summer and include performances from the likes of Lil Jon, Jay Sean, Bacon Brothers and more.

To plan your trip around one of the many events at RW Bimini, check out their website.

It’s very easy to get lost in the all the luxury Resorts World can offer, but the biggest mistake someone can make when visiting Bimini is not appreciating the beauty of the island and its natives.

So now it's time to focus on the town: where to eat, what to drink and what beach to lay on.

Three words: Joe's. Conch. Shack. This small shack is simply the best place to get fresh conch salad or delicious, greasy conch fritters. At Joe's you can spot someone in the back cutting up fresh conch as someone else in the front chops it up right away.

Once you've filled your tummy at Joe's, your next stop should be CJ's Deli where, just a few feet from the ocean, you can buy yourself a piña colada that has been poured directly into a fresh coconut.

Before making your way back to the resort, your last stop should be Edith's Pizza. At Edith's, you can eat pizza that is freshly made on "bimini bread" dough all while overlooking Bimini's crystal blue water. If I'm being honest, Edith's is home to the best pizza I have ever had.

Here's the moral of the story: if you're from Miami, or really anywhere, and need a quick escape for the weekend...Bimini is the place to go.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
