The 10 Most Amazing Landscapes of Venezuela
Rebeca Rozenbaum

Here is a list of my favorite landscapes that you can find in Venezuela.


1. La Gran Sabana

Located at the "National Park Canaima," the place leaves every visitor completely astonished due to its beauty and how big it is. It is famous for its table-top mountains called "tepuy". This place was the inspiration behind the landscapes seen in the Disney-Pixar movie "Up."


2. Los Médanos de Coro

The biggest dessert from the Caribbean coast. It is a dessert surrounded by jungle.



3. Los Roques

A group of islands located at the North of the country. It is known by its coral reef and clear water beaches.




4. Pico Bolívar

The highest mountain in Venezuela. It was named after Simón Bolívar, the independence hero for Venezuelans. It is the only place in the country where it snows and the peak is always covered in it. In the same State (Mérida) you can find the highest and second longest cable way in the world.


5. Colonia Tovar

Also known as the "Germany of the Caribbean", this city's architecture is based on German and Dutch styles. Its climate allows the grow of strawberries, peaches, carrots, and other vegetables and fruits. Its traditional foods are German (like the apple strudel) and also Venezuelan (like the churros).

6. Choroní

What makes this place special is the beauty of the town and its beaches, which are well known by surfers around the world. The other important factor is the cocoa produced in the zone, of the best in the world.



7. El Salto Ángel

This is the highest uninterrupted waterfall in the world. It is located in the "National Park Canaima," just like "La Gran Sabana." This also appeared in the Disney-Pixar movie "Up."



8. Ávila

This mountain is the pride of every Caraquenian. It can be seen from any point of Caracas. People can go up walking, by car or by cable way. At the top of it restaurants can be found. There is also a hotel there called "Humboldt". Strawberries with whipped cream and hot chocolate are big attractions of the place.


9. Rayo del Catatumbo

This meteorological phenomenon takes place at the Maracaibo Lake in the city of Maracaibo. Lightning strikes at almost the same place repeatedly. It occurs during 140 to 160 nights a year, 10 hours per day and up to 280 times per hour.


10. Ríos Orinoco y Caroní

This two rivers located in the South of Venezuela connect but never merge. You can find river dolphins, commonly known as "Toninas" in the area.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
