7 Most Beautiful Christmas Trees in the World
Beautiful Traveling Places

There's nothing more exciting than looking at, buying or decorating Christmas trees to start the Christmas season. There's just something magical about them. Seeing them light up and twinkle through the fir branches (which smell divine, might I add). But perhaps my favorite part about Christmas trees is that no tree is the same. They may all look the same in their natural form, but once a family buys one and decorates it, it transforms to reflect them and their personalities. Their favorite ornaments, traditions, and colors make it unique and beautiful to fit their character.

So, if you're stuck in a library studying for finals or working overtime and stressed out about life, here's a few of the most outlandish, unique Christmas trees from around the world that are sure to light up your eyes for a moment.

1) World's Largest Floating Christmas Tree, Rio de Janeiro

This nearly 280 foot tree, located in Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas in Copacabana, lights up the city with its annual event that includes fireworks, music and dance. The tree has a different theme each year. Are you wondering what it looks like at night? Look no further:


2) The Galeries Lafayette Haussman, Paris

The Galeries Lafayette, a renowned department store in Paris, creates an elaborate Christmas tree underneath their 100-year old dome every year. The tree above was made out of thousands of Swarovski crystals.


The partisan store's theme last year was "Christmas from another planet", which included a light show twice a day.


3) Hansaplatz, Dortsmund, Germany

Scaling a height of 147 feet, the Hansaplatz marketplace has a magnificent piece of work sparkling among it. This tree is uniquely made out of 1,700 individual spruce trees stacked together within a frame of glistening lights. How cool is that?!


4) Piazza Venezia, Rome, Italy

The extraordinary Christmas trees found around piazzas and the coliseum will be sure to take your breath away with their light features and beauty (not to mention being surrounded by remarkable historic landmarks).


5) Rockefeller Plaza, New York City, USA

Of course, the Rockefeller Christmas tree is not to be forgotten. Standing among the city's skyscrapers, this beauty embraces the Christmas spirit when it comes to life in the lighting ceremony.


6) Trafalger Square, London, United Kingdom

The beautiful, statuesque tree in Trafalger Square is graciously donated by Norway every year since 1947 to show their gratitude for Britain's support during World War II.

7) National Christmas Tree, Washington D.C., USA

This picture-perfect Christmas tree is donated by GE Lighting every year. For the 2016 design, GE created red, white and blue lights with twinkling stars descending down the tree. The lighting ceremony is hosted by the President of the United States and First Lady.

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.
