If you are the type of person who enjoys the adventure as well as a diverse culture, then, I have found your next destination. Bolivia, a country located in South America provides travelers with an unforgettable experience. From the minute the plane begins to fly over Bolivian territory you will fall in love with its majestic mountains and scenery. Leaving you anxious to explore and learn more about what this country has to offer. I, have been fortunate enough to experience Bolivia's culture, landscapes, and history. Therefore, I decided to come up with a list of 10 places that you must visit when you arrive at the "heart" of South America.

1. Salar de Uyuni

If you have ever dreamed about dancing with the stars or seeing the horizon that may seem never-ending then, the salt flats in Uyuni are your first destination.

2. Parque Nacional Noel Kempff Mercado

One of my favorite things about Bolivia is the beautiful natural scenery. Personally, I love hiking and if you give me a view like this, let us just say I could spend my whole life hiking.

3. Copacabana

Copacabana is one of the oldest existing cities in Bolivia. It is enriched in culture and historic sites.

4. Lago Titicaca

'El Lago Titicaca' is known to be one of Bolivia's greatest treasure. One side belongs to Bolivia while the other borders Peru. The legend states that at the bottom of the lake there is a lost city made out of gold. The huge frogs are considered to be the guardians of the city.

5. Sucre

Sucre known is considered to be the "white city" of Bolivia. The reason this name was given is because of the white architecture found in every aspect of the city. Sucre constitutionally is the capital of Bolivia.

6.Cristo De La Concordia

One of the most beautiful places to visit is "El Cristo" in Cochabamba. Visiting this place very early in the morning or around sunset will give you a magnificent view of the city of Cochabamba.

7.Tinkus

In every aspect of the Bolivian culture, you will see the colorful attires. What really blows the tourist away is the dances. One of the major dances practice in the Bolivian culture is called Tinkus.

8. Valle de La Luna

This specific places is the called Moon Valley and is found on the outside part of La Paz. After the sun goes down this place turns into an arena of stars. This is the perfect spot for star-gazing. Where you are going to feel the moon so close.

9. Death Road-Yungas

The name of this road truly describes the risk that many travelers take. This is called the "death road" it leads to a place in Bolivia called the Yungas. Where the traditional 'Saya' first was danced among the Afro-Bolivians.

10. Laguna Colorada

La Laguna Colorada, "The Red Lake" is must visit. It's a place where the visual in front of you will seem very unrealistic.

Currently, Bolivia has set up a huge tourist department known as Bolivia Te Espera. The link for this department helps many tourists find their way around the country and truly have an experience of a lifetime.

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.
