Must Knows Before Visiting Savannah, GA

On the South Carolina/Georgia border, nestled in right across the Savannah bridge, lies the sweet and historic city of Savannah. Living in Charlotte, NC, I had heard people rave about Savannah, GA countless times, but it wasn’t until this year that I chose to find out what the fuss is all about for myself. When choosing a summer destination to catch up with one of my bridesmaids that I hadn’t seen since my wedding, it was the obvious choice for a girls trip. However, I really didn’t do any research before going and was quite shocked at how Savannah turned out to be. If you’re planning to visit Savannah in the future, keep reading for 8 must knows before visiting.

10 Items to Pack in Your Personal Item

When you fly, you leave your checked bags at the gate and put your carry on in the overhead bins. Your personal item is really the only thing that you get to keep with you at all times. This item can be pretty much anything, so long as it fits under the seat. People usually use a purse, hat, book bag, or the Vera Bradley weekender (ladies IYKYK).

Best Advice to be Student Debt Free

As a high school student, I toured a lot of colleges- I’m talking somewhere around 13. I was very picky. Among my non-negotiables, were that I wanted a reputable business school, small class sizes, and a campus that felt like home. Ultimately, that’s what I got- a quaint, private business school tucked around 30 minutes outside of the city.

Rooooaaad trippppp!!!!!!!

That might sound like a lot of fun when you think about you and your bestie in a hippie van fully decked out with comfy pillows, yummy snacks, and your own personal driver.

11 Best Tips to Survive Long Distance

Let me be real with you… long distance sucks. In fact, it is by far, if not the most, difficult thing I have ever gone through. Now, before that sounds too dramatic, let me acknowledge that there are much, much worse things to go through and I feel blessed that this is what I’ve been dealt.
