Your Ultimate European Road Trip

Just one of many great options.

Two years ago I went on a road trip through Europe to celebrate me graduating from high school. We went to many great places throughout Europe and I want to share my route with all of you, hopefully, you'll get some inspiration. Of course, this is not the only route that you can take, but this was mine, so I just write what I know.

1. Berlin, Germany

Berlin is a really cool city. I did find the 'must-sees' a bit disappointing, but we also did an 'underground' city tour that went to all of these unusual places in the city that you wouldn't go to on your own. This was the most fun thing we did in this city!

2. Krakow, Poland

Krakow is really beautiful, and also really cheap. Although it isn't really a big city, you can roam around just fine. It has a really big shopping mall and a few fun places you can visit. We also went to concentration camp 'Auschwitz', which is really close by. That was a really overwhelming experience.

3. Prague, Czech Republic

Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic, and it is immensely touristic. But the city deserves it, it is really beautiful and if you search a bit deeper there are also many interesting places hidden in plain sight. I would say that when you've seen this city once, you don't have to see it again. But that's my personal opinion.

4. Vienna, Austria

Vienna was the most beautiful city of the entire tour. The buildings, palaces, everything was so beautiful. We also went to the zoo, which is the oldest zoo in the world! I also really loved the Sissie museum, about the legendary Empress Elisabeth.

5. Hunedoara, Romania

Hunedoara itself was a bit underwhelming, but we were expecting that. We went specifically for the Dracula castle, which is located there. Romania was a really beautiful country tho, and really cheap too. I would definitely go back, but not to Hunedoara.

6. Zagreb, Croatia

Zagreb is the capital of Croatia and a really beautiful city. It has lots of interesting museums and it has a great atmosphere. It was really warm tho when we were there in the middle of the summer. Spring would be the better season to visit I think.

7. Budapest, Hungary

Budapest is such a young and energetic city. There's a lot of youth in the city and the nightlife is really energetic. There are great karaoke bars and the city itself is also really beautiful. You should definitely do a city tour.

8. Ljubljana (& Bled), Slovenia

Ljubljana was the most surprising city during all of the tours. It was really small, but there was so much to see and do. We also went to Bled during a day trip, just 30 minutes by train. It's a really beautiful lake with waterfalls nearby. You should definitely do a day trip when you're there.

9. Verona, Italy

The city of Romeo and Juliet, the city of Shakespeare's love story. This is a typical Italian city with lots of high fashion houses and a Roman arena. Definitely worth a visit, extremely touristic tho.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
