9 Surreal Natural Landscapes That Make You Thank Nature

We often find ourselves becoming too self-absorbed in the materialism of our universe that we forget the most immense beauty it has to offer, that beauty being mother nature. Twinkling stars, vast rocky mountains, mysterious underground coves and even the rarest glacial ice caves behold all of nature's greatest treasures in the one place we all can call our home—planet Earth. Here are nine of the most surreal, awe-inspiring landscapes I would love to travel to (and I hope you agree as well!) not only because of how marvelous they appear, but because of the message they symbolize in which mother nature has a way of transforming the most simplest things on Earth into the most beautiful.

1. Montana

In The Glacier National Park of Montana, Pebble Shore Lake is a "must-see" as it dazzles travelers from all around the world with beautiful and vibrant colored stones. Local residents from the state of Montana often come here to have picnics and relax among the cool water that shimmer with various colors and tones.

2. New Zealand

I have never been to New Zealand nor have I heard of all the beautiful landscapes, so this image is one that is jaw-dropping. I have never seen something so beautiful and this is definitely something new on my bucket list!

3. Iceland

Sure . . . ice in Iceland, what's knew about that? However, the way the sunset reflects off these ice caves makes me want to go to Iceland more. than. ever.

4. Portugal

My family on my father's side is from Portugal and I have heard many and many and many stories on how gorgeous this country is. I have yet to get in touch with my roots and travel to Portugal; however, if I ever have the chance to visit, the first place would go to would be the Red Forest.

5. Romania

This waterfall in Romania puts every other waterfall to shame. Like seriously, Niagara Falls (the only waterfall I have ever seen) needs to step its game up.

6. Japan

Just imagine walking through the most peaceful, yet invigorating flower tunnel filled with light pink, fragrant cherry blossoms—oh you can't—well, it's basically walking into heaven. Japan is widely known for its busy city ventures within Tokyo, yet let's take a step back to admire the eloquent and tranquil nature this flower tunnel has to offer.

7. Scotland

Yep, I am just wishing I could see these "fairy pools" in the Isle of Sky in Scotland for my own eyes. How magical and effervescent, maybe they really are sprinkled with fairy glimmer and joy!

8. Philippines

Look at the blue sky. Look at the crystal clear water. Look at the radiant green trees. Look at the white, puffy clouds. I am floating on cloud nine just thinking about being in the Kayangan Lake of the Philippines.

9. Colorado

How crazy is it that ice caves are located in our own nation?! These ice caves can be found in Colorado and attract tourists from all over the world. It may be an unbearably cold place, nevertheless, it would still be a wonderful sight. Someone call Princess Elsa because her ice castle is nothing compared to these caves filled with lustful icicles and chilly winds.

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

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.

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.
