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.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
