A new year is upon us. Resolutions are being set, the gyms are filling up, and everyone is looking forward to a fresh, clean slate and to put 2018 behind us. One thing you should try out in this new year is getting out of your comfort zone, and the best way to do that is by traveling! Hans Christian Anderson put it in the best way: "To travel is to live." You may have studied abroad somewhere like Italy or the U.K. and traveled a bit, but I encourage you to book a flight to somewhere that you've never been before, somewhere that may be off the radar, or somewhere that may even have negative stereotypes. Make 2019 a year to remember. Here's a list of places to consider for your next adventure:

Tirana, Albania

In 2018, Tirana made Lonely Planet's Top 10 European Cities List, but it was a beauty long before then. Though communist architecture is still prevalent throughout the city, Tirana is blessed with lush parks, beautiful Adriatic beaches, and rich food culture.

Cote d'Azur

If there's any one place in Europe you should road trip, it should be the Italian and French Riviera, also known as "Cote d'Azur." Not only will the whole drive be accompanied by the vast blue sea and dreamy sunsets, but on the trip you visit the cities of Menton, Monaco, Nice, Cannes, Saint-Tropez, and Marseilles, each one more beautiful than the next.

Lisbon, Portugal

Despite being listed in Europe's Top 10 cities, Lisbon is one of Europe's least visited capitals. It is adjacent to a gorgeous shoreline meanwhile the center city displays traditional and beautiful architecture.

Cartagena, Colombia

Colombia is not just drugs and cartels, underneath the stereotypes is a breathtaking country that varies geographically. Cartagena boasts pink beaches, 16th century buildings, clear blue water, and coral reefs.

La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain

Patagonia, South America

Rainforests and fjords,

Red Centre, Australia

This national park in Australia displays this 550 million-year-old rock that is sacred to indigenous Australians. A visit to this park will show you a less filtered, more rural side of Australia, one that is full of tradition and indigenous beliefs.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
