5 Reasons To Drop EVERYTHING And Visit Barcelona Today

In This Article:

I recently spent my spring break in Barcelona and here are five reasons why your next trip has to be to Barcelona.

The food is phenomenal

Vibrant in both colors and favors, the food and beverages in Barcelona are something you never knew you needed in your life until now.

2. The views are stunning

Weather you're looking down at the Mediterranean from the cable cars or walking through Park Guell, the view from the ground and from above are stunning and I promise you, your breath will be taken away.

3.  The generous hospitality

Never have I ever been to a city where I have felt so welcome and loved. Spainards are the kindest people I have encountered on my trip across Europe and if you're from the mid-west, you'd love Barcelona for the people.

4.  The sun is always shining and the flowers are always blooming

Coming from cold and rainy London, Barcelona was a huge slap in the face with its warm weather and blooming flowers. Did I mention the variety of flowers and other plants in Barcelona? Everywhere you look, flowers are blooming. If you're a nature freak or strive for aesthetic Instagram photos, Barcelona and its gardens are for you!

5.  La Rambla

No matter what it is that you fancy- food, shopping, or sight seeing, La Rambla is for you. La Rambla is a mile long street market that is sure to have something for everyone. From food vendors to souvenirs, everyone will leave satisfied. Did I mention everything in La Rambla is stupid cheap? For 5 Euro you can eat a whole meal! If you go to the right place, of course.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
