Your spring semester has started and has probably hit you pretty hard, especially after Winter Study. Whether you’re drowning in problem sets or have terrible writer’s block, it might not be a terrible idea to start looking for something to look forward to. What’s better than planning a fun Spring Break getaway with your friends?! The only problem is that travel can be expensive so I have done some research and found some sun-filled trips that are fun and affordable!

One of the biggest draws to Myrtle Beach are the attractions, such as the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and Family Kingdom AMusement Park. Plus, there is endless shopping, dining, nightlife, and music festivals. The weather can be in the 60s, which may seem a bit chilly for Florida but trust me, with everything else Myrtle Beach has to offer, you will not be disappointed!
5) The Outer Banks, North Carolina
