New Orleans Travel Guide: What to Drink, Eat & Do in NOLA (& What to Skip) - guide to new orleansWhile a lot of college kids opt for Florida or Cancun for Spring Break, my friends and I headed down to New Orleans, Louisiana for an absolutely amazing few days. This trip is the perfect trip to take with friends and three or four days was the perfect length to see and do everything we wanted.

This has also been a time of getting rid of clothes and downsizing. There’s been a creation of “the bag” (which I explain here) in the hall closet of our house and my friends and I have begun to fill it with shirts, dresses and other clothes we seriously don’t wear or don’t need to take with us when we move back in and embark on our post-grad life.
