Oh the places you will go.

12 Destinations On My Travel Bucket List

In my lifetime, whether it be in the next two years or 25, I intend on traveling to as many places as I possibly can. The list is endless, and if I could visit every country/city/state possible, I would. Keeping it short and sweet, I've listed some unique highlights to consider if given the chance to.

1. Pamukkale Hot Springs in Turkey

These hot springs were declared a World Heritage Site and remain a popular attraction and you can even swim in some of the pools!

2. Elephant Nature Park, Chiang Mai, Thailand

The Elephant Nature Park is a humane preserve where you can spend the day among the large creatures, contrary to the controversial tourist attraction of elephant rides that are popular.

3. Ibiza, Spain

A popular party city for the younger crowd in Europe, Ibiza is an island in Spain known for its nightlife. Beyond that, the scenery is beautiful and gorgeous beaches.

4. Amsterdam, Netherlands

The scenic canals, the Anne Frank House, and the much more lenient laws (if you get what I mean) are a few of the many reasons to visit the notorious city.

5. Big Major Cay, Bahamas

Big Major Cay is an island inhabited solely by the "swimming pigs" whose arrival to the island is still a mystery. The pigs are accustomed to tourists, which allows you to swim and frolic amongst them.

6. White Cliffs of Dover, England

The cliffs reach up to 300 feet in height and on a clear day you can see France across the Channel.

7. Giant Buddah, Hong Kong, China

The largest seated Buddah in the world requires a bit of a hike to the top, but is worth the walk to see, if you're into that stuff.

8. Victoria Falls, Zambia, Africa

The largest waterfall in the world and features the Devil's Pool, where you can swim on the edge of the drop.

9. Santorini, Greece

The gorgeous coastline and picturesque architecture make Santorini a popular location for romantic getaways.

10. Great Barrier Reef, Australia

The largest coral reef in the world is home to over 600 types of coral making it the largest living thing in the world.

They say the best time to travel is when you're young. You have no job holding you in one place, but that also means you probably don't have the funds to country-hop. Maybe that's the way you prefer to see the world, though, stripped down to its bare minimums and seeing the raw beauty of a foreign country. Some people prefer to wait until they have the financial ability to experience the higher end of travel. Whatever the case, you should not leave this planet having missed out on its wonder.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
