In This Article:

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!!

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

"I don't want to do things. I want to do not things."

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
