There is so much going on when you plan a trip, and it can be very stressful when you are exploring new terrain on your own or in a group. It is so overwhelming that you don't even know where to start.

That's how I felt when I was on my way to Europe, and my first stop was Paris. There is so much to do in Paris, France, and I wanted to do it all but knew I wouldn't have all the time to view every single thing and enjoy it.

So, I made a list of places I wanted to visit that my friends and family members recommended. I ended up coming up with this list of 10 things to do in Paris, France, and let me tell you these things did not disappoint.

1. Visit the beautiful Basilica Sacre Couer

Dedicated to the sacred heart of Jesus, this Roman Catholic church is beautiful from the outside and inside.

2. Enjoy the Montmartre neighborhood

Located near the Basilica Sacre Couer, this neighborhood is known for its live music, little shops, and many delicious cafes and restaurants.

3. Place de la Concorde

As the largest square in the French Capital, this square is usually very busy and has so much astounding architecture around to see.

4. The iconic Eiffel Tower

Prep with some cheese and wine and dine in the park to enjoy the view of the Eiffel Tower all day.

5. Visit the Wall of Love

The Wall of Love is just a few streets away from the Basilica Sacre Couer. Enjoy the different languages that say the phrase "I love you."

6. River Seine

Walk along the river Seine and watch as the boats pass by on a sunny day.

7. Visit the famous "Love Locks"

Be sure to bring your own lock and lock it amongst many others love stories.

8. Visit the Louvre

The Louvre has beautiful works of art inside and outside the area that are worth making a day trip for it.

9. Take in that you are in Paris, France <3

Buy some pastries, macarons, and enjoy a day at a cute cafe. People watch and admire the diverse culture you have emerged yourself in.

10. Drink the Cola

The Coca-Cola in Paris, France is to die for, and coke goes great with any type of meal. Enjoy a fresh coke and your stay in Paris!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

2. So you stress.

3. And cry.

5. After the pep talk, you feel determined to get everything done.

6. But, now you're tired.

7. And really hungry.

8. Suddenly, it's 2 a.m. and you have only written three sentences and your paper is due in the morning.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.

14. But, now it's finals week so good luck.
