As summer internships and jobs wrap up and summer comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to make a quick getaway before school starts. Don’t worry–you don’t need a lot of money to get away and enjoy a little piece of summer if you follow this guide!

Set a Budget!

The first thing you need to do is look at your funds and see how much money you have to spend; a.k.a. “create a budget.”

Choose a Destination!

Once that is in order, you can decide where your destination will be. If you have enough available funds, you might choose to go somewhere further away from home, but if money is an issue, weekend or day trips may be your savoir.

• Got Dough?-Places like Florida, or the Carolinas might tickle your fancy, and probably will be able to accommodate you on short notice, whereas places like the Bahamas may be booked.
• Low on Dough?-Places like Washington, DC, Gettysburg, PA, NYC, or the Jersey beaches make perfect day trips. There is a lot to do in these areas, but not too much that you would be overwhelmed or run out of time to do the things you want. You can visit trazzler.com to find more local getaways near you.

Most days I’m pretty content with my life. Then other days I see photos of the stunningly gorgeous Bar Refaeli diving off a yacht in Italy and I experience an intense fit of jealousy. I’ll be lucky if I have access to a canoe when I’m 26, let alone an Italian businessman’s yacht. Oh and she’s had sex with Leo. So I’m pretty divided between having a girl crush on her and going all mean girl on her. Check out the photos and let me know what YOU think.

[Every girl needs a good purse (or 12). Whether you’re going for groceries or running from class to class, they are simply essential for holding all your, uh, essentials. Each week, I’m going to show you a fashionable, yet functional purse for the college crowd and let you know why you absolutely need it! I apologize ahead of time to your bank account.]

I usually have a backstory for why I chose to feature a certain bag, but this week I don’t. This purse is just gorgeous, vintage-inspired and great quality! Meet the Leather Tassel Frame Bag by ASOS.

Do you ever see really stupid stuff on the Internet and fight the urge to laugh because it is really stupid? Yes? Okay, perfect, then this post is for you. It’s just photos of dogs drinking. And even though I know they’re not really drinking. It still makes me giggle. Sad, right?

For better or for worse, 99 percent of my (random, outside of a relationship) hookups have occurred while I was sober. I’ve experienced pure pleasure, unadulterated awkwardness, sheer disappointment, and un-obscured lust without being impaired of intoxicated in any way. Not that I think I’m a special snowflake because of this – I know this particular piece of my life’s narrative is far from unique. That said, we all know that alcohol is the backbone of most social interactions in college because — let’s be real — without it, most parties would resemble a lame middle school dance. Alcohol lowers our inhibitions, makes us a little (or a lot) more open to adventure, and, often times, provides an excuse for questionable behavior.

Seriously, I can’t keep track of the weekend recaps I’ve heard from my friends who got drunkface and did something with someone that they regret. Whether it’s hooking up with someone inappropriate and disgusting or merely hooking up with someone sooner than expected, alcohol was often the catalyst for Sunday morning woes of despair over brunch. There was recently an article posted on Jezebel that confirmed my suspicions that people often use alcohol as a (wobbly at best) crutch. College culture totally condones drunken sexual shenanigans, and while I don’t want to be all judgmental and conservative, I can’t help but find this trend alarming. Read More »
