20 Places That I Absolutely Have To Travel To Before I Die

@adventurouskate

I have always loved the idea of exploring the world and seeing all the beautiful things it has to offer. As a college student, that isn't too feasible but someday, later in life, I would love to explore these places for obvious reasons (they're amazing) and the experience of travel and seeing a different culture, learning a new language, trying new things is something that many say can truly change your life for the better. In the best case scenario, I would visit these places, and then some but if I had to choose my top twenty places to visit, here is what I would choose and why.

1. Greece

Everyone says this, I know, you're tired of hearing about the beautiful water and buildings and amazing culture but, I love it and couldn't help it. It's gorgeous and I would die to visit someday.

2. Chicago

I live less than 8 hours from Chicago and still have never been. I feel like this may or may not be a crime against all humanity. I will take an ugly bean picture in front of The Bean someday.

3. France

Wow, yet another basic answer but yet again, I feel like this is a classic place that everyone needs to see at least once. The Eiffel Tower is too beautiful and romantic not to go to.

4. New York City (again)

I went to NYC with school my senior year but, I want to go back and have more time to take it all in and spend more time places. It was by far one of my favorite places I've ever been to.

5. Bora Bora

Dear future husband, Bora Bora. That is all. Thanks.

6. San Francisco

I am in love with San Francisco and have been since I started watching "Full House" as a kid. The bridge is beautiful and the houses are so cute and cozy.

7. Alberta

I'm always down for a good adventure and the lakes and hiking scene in Alberta are huge. The mountains are so beautiful and super great for Instagram pics.

8. Italy

I. Love. Italian. Food. Literally anything and everything. Pizza, pasta, bread, calzones, all of it. It's amazing. Why not go to the land of all the things that bring me joy?

9. The Maldives

The water is beautiful, the fish are beautiful, the colorful streets are beautiful, the sunsets are beautiful. I'm really just looking for something that isn't.

10. Yellowstone National Park

I love the mountains and Yellowstone is honestly such an iconic place in the U.S. and I feel like I'm a fake American if I don't go see it for myself

11. Prague

Picture perfect and full of culture. Two of my favorite things in one place. How convenient.

12. The Great Barrier Reef

I'm not a big fan of being underwater for long periods of time but I'd make an exception to see the Great Barrier Reef.

13. Indonesia

The dragon looking things are basically the main reason I want to go to Indonesia. They're huge lizards and they're kind of terrifying but I think I'm interested anyways.

14. Dubai

The skyline is beautiful. The pictures I've seen of Dubai are literally breathtaking. the food is apparently really good as well so that's a bonus.

15. Costa Rica

I think the culture, the animals, the beaches, the volcanoes, and the forests are super unique to this area of the world making it a must see location.

16. The Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon is actually my favorite place on Earth and I've never even seen it in person so it would be dumb for me not to include it on this list.

17. Australia

Australian animals and Australian accents are super rad and the culture there is super cool. I love a good kangaroo so I'd love to see one of those mean suckers in person.

18. Spain

I took Spanish in high school so why not go test out my fabulous skills in a country that really doesn't even speak the same Spanish we learn in schools and see everything that I learned so much about.

19. Yosemite National Park

I have always been a big waterfall girl. I think they're so peaceful and relaxing and the hike to get there always is too.

20. Hawaii

I'm convinced that Hawaii is one of the coolest places on Earth.

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.
