In just a few short weeks, I will be going on my first trip...by myself. I have a lot of mixed emotions with this. For one, I'm a little scared to be travelling abroad without knowing what the city will be like (and also not knowing a single soul), but I'm also very excited to embark on this new adventure that will definitely get me out of my comfort zone. Since this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, I want to make the best of this trip and live life to the fullest while I'm there. Here are some things I have on my bucket list to make this goal of mine come true:

1. View the city by bike. 

Biking is the main form of transportation in the city, so what better way to explore than the way of a local?

2. Visit all the different districts. 

From Christianshavn (canals and gabled houses) to Vesterbro (trendy bars and stores), I want to see it all!

3. Eat at one VERY nice restaurant. 

Copenhagen is known for its food and world-renowned chefs, so I want to be able to experience it. (But only once because it will be super expensive!)

4. Visit a museum or famous landmark to learn all about Danish culture. 

I know this sounds pretty boring at first glance, but having the chance to visit Rosenborg castle, Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, or Christianborg Palace ruins sounds like an opportunity I don't want to miss!

5. Spend one night out at a local bar or club. 

Staying out late at night is very popular among locals in the city, and I know this is something I'm not going to want to do every night, but I think it would be fun to explore the city when everyone is awake!

6. Shop at Nørrebro Flea Market. 

Because I love to shop.. and flea markets are so fun!

7. Eat street food. 

From hotdogs to sausages to sandwiches, I think I'll be eating pretty good while I'm there.

8. Climb Tarnet tower. 

Not only is this free, but it's a great way to see a birds-eye view of the city.

9. Visit Tivoli Gardens. 

This is the second oldest amusement park in the world, and would be so much fun to see in the afternoon.

10. Have a conversation with a local. 

I love to meet new people, and since the Danish are considered to be the friendliest people in the world, there's really nothing to lose.

11. Jump on a street trampoline. 

No explanation necessary.

12. Eat a churro. 

These are so famous in the city, and since I love churros, why not?

13. Try a new-to-me alcoholic drink. 

Since the legal drinking age is 18, it will be a lot of fun to try a new drink every once in a while.

Even though I'm very nervous about the whole "school" part of the study abroad (and making friends), I'm excited about everything the city has to offer! I hope these next three weeks before I leave FLY by!!

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
