I Flew To Japan For 19 Days: Here Are The Top Attractions
Chandler Burke

Over the past eleven days, I have flown to Japan and experienced various landmarks of Japan, and have dove into the culture. With still a week left in this beautiful country, I already have a vast view of the various things to do in Japan, and still, have time to uncover many more.

1. The Landmark Tower, Yokohama

The Landmark Tower is an iconic 73 story building in the heart of Yokohama, Japan. At only $10 per adult during weekdays, the elevator brings you to the 69th-floor observatory at a rapid pace, where you are then able to look over the entire city at every angle.

Being the fastest elevator in Japan, both the experience of being in the elevator and the beautiful view from the top are worth the experience. On the 69th floor, there are various areas for you to take Instagram-worthy pictures—like beams covered in hearts, numerous fish tanks, and a large decorated wall displays.

2. Cosmo Clock 21 Ferris Wheel at Yokohama Cosmo World

The Cosmo Clock 21 has been one of my coolest experiences so far in Japan. Although the other rides within Yokohama Cosmo World were worth every second, this 369 ft 69th-floor wheel over the water might have topped many of the others. At 700 yen, equivalent to about 7 US dollars, the Ferris wheel takes about 15 minutes for a full rotation, where you then get off. Being in such awe, I spent most of the time on this wheel taking pictures and videos for Instagram, and let's just say they came out perfect.

3. Kawaii Monster Cafe, Shibuya

Kawaii Monster Cafe is an extremely funky, colorful, and high-spirited restaurant in Shibuya, Tokyo. It is usually very busy, but my friend and I happened to luck out and enter without a reservation. This crazy, yet amazing restaurant features rooms with walls dripping in ice cream, hanging baby bottles, a huge spinning cake, and foods served as all colors of the rainbow. Kim Kardashian went—so take both her word and mine. It is worth every second.

4. Takeshita Street, Shibuya

This is now one of my favorite streets, like ever. Takeshita Street is located in Tokyo and features various famous shops. The street is lined with candy stores, milk tea restaurants, cafe's, and cool clothing shops. When I stepped foot onto this extremely—and I mean extremely—busy street, I fell in love almost instantly. I could have walked around this famous street for hours.

5. Tokyo Disneyland, Urayasu

Today I visited Tokyo Disneyland, and it was such a cool experience. As I have visited Disneyland in Orlando, Florida seven times in the past, I loved seeing how this beautiful culture celebrated Disneyland. It was extremely busy, and everybody was so happy, which I loved to see.

Disneyland is definitely the happiest place on Earth, and after meeting so many people who approached me, I wished I could stay for much longer. DisneySea is the park next to Disneyland that has more rides, but being in Disneyland for the day, it was nice to spend time walking around, sightseeing, and shopping.

The lines for the rides in Disneyland were extremely long, but I did go on a few. As a tip, make sure you get your FastPasses as early as possible because the kiosk to get them for some rides did shut down today around noon. It was still worth the hour wait for some of the rides though, I must say.

It has been an absolutely amazing, life-changing experience being able to stay here in Japan for nineteen days. I would recommend with all my heart doing so if you get the opportunity, as so far, the experiences have been ones that will last a lifetime.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
