My Top Destinations For When We Can Finally Travel Again

Like so many other things, travel has been put on pause because of the pandemic. Although this is obviously not the end of the world, I know myself, along with many others, are itching to be able to leave the country once again and explore new places. Many vacations have been canceled, and I am tired of staying in one place. All of those nights spent self-isolating in my room, have me dreaming of all the faraway nations that I'll someday be able to travel to again. With all of this time spent thinking, I have devised a list of my 10 most sought after travel destinations for when we can once again travel safely.

1) Venice

Venice is one of those destinations that I feel like is a must-see on everyone's list. To go and take a gondola ride, and look at all of the old architecture, is definitely something that everyone has to do at some point.

2) Santorini

Santorini is famous for its picturesque landscape and amazing views. On top of that, when there, you can live out your Mamma Mia and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants dreams. What more could you want on a beautiful cliff-side vacation.

3) London

The history and culture found in London is like nowhere else. Beyond its countless famous landmarks, there is so much to see and do in the city.

4) Peru

Living in Florida, there are not many outdoor activities beyond the beach. To be able to visit Peru and hike Machu Picchu is a total dream of mine. It enables you to look into the past at the ruins of a city while enjoying the nature that surrounds you.

5) Amsterdam

The charming streets of Amsterdam have always been a sight I want to see. In Amsterdam, you can view the gorgeous countryside of the Netherlands, while enjoying the beauty of the city and its streets.

6) Australia

Compared to North America, Australia is a whole other world. The climate has no similarities, and the animals and nature are a complete 360 flip. I would love to go to Australia and see the culture of its cities and see the Great Barrier Reef.

7) India

India is a country that fills me with so much intrigue. The culture is so unlike any other place I have visited before. I would love to travel there and fully immerse myself in learning about the way of life found in India.

8) Egypt

Traveling to Egypt has always been a dream of mine. For as long as I can remember I have been mesmerized by Egyptian history. All of the stories and mysteries surrounding the pyramids fill me with such intrigue, that I know I have to go at some point.

9) South Africa

South Africa is another place with the most beautiful landscapes. Located in the most southern point of Africa, I would love to be able to visit and explore its history.

10) New York City

I have been to New York City many times, but something about it always keeps me coming back. I love the charm of the city, and how every time you visit you discover something new to see and a new area to explore.

Being able to dream and think about traveling during a time of all this hardship is very much a privilege. There are so many more pressing issues at hand right now, and I am lucky to be able to even think about traveling during a period where this is a lot of economic upset.

However, I believe if we do not allow ourselves to dream of positive change in the future, we will be stuck dwelling in the present. I do not see travel being feasible any time soon, but this will not stop my wanderlust and daydreaming for a time where we will be able to.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
