Eight Places To Add To Your Travel Bucket List

We all have one -- a list of things we must do or see before we kick the bucket. Foodies list restaurants and delicacies they long to taste. Adrenaline junkies detail the skydives, bungee jumps, and zip lines of their dreams. For travel enthusiasts, the list can be quite lengthy. Listed below are eight locations that are the total package. Known not only for their spectacular views but their incredible culture, history and food too, these spots are a must see for any jet setter.

Santorini, Greece

Beautiful white houses topped with royal blue roofs sit upon the rim of an active volcano in the Mediterranean Sea overlooking crystal clear waters. This beautiful island off the coast of Greece's mainland overflows with culture. Spend the day exploring the shops that line the island's streets or relax on one of its famous, scenic beaches.

Venice, Italy

The floating city. No cars. No roadways. Just canals and boats. Some say the best way to explore Venice is to just start walking. Get lost within a scenic maze of paths and bridges. Don't forget a map!

Bruges, Belgium

Candy stores line the sides of the cobblestone streets, all filled to the brim with some of the world's finest chocolates. The medieval architecture, canals, and horse drawn carriages add charm to this sweet city.

Sydney, Australia

From the clear waters and beautiful beaches to the busy and exciting city life, this city has it all. Sydney boasts some of the world's most iconic landmarks, both natural and man made, like the Great Barrier Reef and the Sydney Opera House.

Kyoto, Japan

One of the few cities in Japan spared during the second world war, Kyoto is home to some of the world's most beautiful temples. The incredible grace and charm of the temples make for an experience of a lifetime.

Barcelona, Spain


Barcelona is a city teeming with life. Whether strolling through Las Ramblas (Bracelona's extensive outdoor food market), catching a soccer game at FC Barcelona's Camp Nou, or enjoying the food at an authentic tapas bar, there's never a boring day in Barcelona. Always busy, always bright, always colorful, this city is best known for its incredibly intricate architecture and quirky art.

Positano, Italy

This charming village rests within an enclave among the hills of the Amalfi Coast. Positano has the best of the beach, mountains, and village all rolled into quite possibly one of the world's most picturesque towns.

Cape Town, South Africa

Cradled between three distinctive mountainous peaks, Cape Town lies at the southern most point of Africa. The lively city lies five minutes from some of the world's most scenic outdoors. The blend of the urban culture with Cape Town's beautiful nature is like no other.

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.

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.
