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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

hawaii

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

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.

There have been many lessons learned.

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.

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.
