13  Places to Visit in Maryland

Maryland has to be one of the most beautiful states there is and I am not just saying that because it's where I've lived my whole 21 years. It gets every season, mountains, oceans and so many different places to visit. Below are some of the most popular and amazing spots all over Maryland. I would get a pen and paper out if I were you because these are going on your bucket list.

1. Baltimore's Inner Harbor

From the National Aquarium to a multiple floor Barnes & Noble and all the small town bars and shops in between. A beautiful place to have a night out with the girls or a day filled with fun things with the boyfriend.

2. George Peabody Library

Located in Baltimore, Maryland the George Peabody Library is the perfect place for your biggest celebrations or open to readers and visitors Tuesday-Thursday from 9am to 5pm and 9am to 3pm on Friday's.

3. Ocean City

Thrashers, Dumser's, Lemonade, oh my! You can't go to Ocean City without walking the boardwalk and grabbing Thrashers Fries, freshly squeezed lemonade and a milkshake from Dumer's!

4. Maryland Science Center

Located in Baltimore, Maryland, the Maryland Science Center is home to more than 10 different exhibits filled with a lot of learning and even more fun. It's a great trip for the younger kids and the science interested adults.

5. The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore

From fish to Polar Bears The Maryland Zoo has it all. This is one of my favorite places to go and they have some pretty great special events like Brew the Zoo (for those of age of course).

6. Annapolis City Dock

Filled with shops, dining, boating and more. They City Dock is a great place to hang out with the family or friends for a day out, especially when the weather is beautiful!

7. Maryland Live Casino

If you are of age the Maryland Live Casio is great place to gamble and have a great time (located at Arundell Mills Mall)!

8. Merriweather Post Pavilion

If you are ever in Columbia, Maryland I highly suggest taking a look at Merriweather Post pavilion because they are almost always hosting an event. Concerts are a blast here and you will enjoy it sitting in a chair or on the lawn, no doubt.

9. Rocks State Park

If you are looking for a place to hike and see some amazing views, this is the place to do it. The King and Queen seat is the most popular attraction here, just be careful!

10. White Hall Sunflower Field

A personal favorite. Sunflowers as tall as you for miles all around you. A great place to just relax and walk through or an even better place for pictures.

11. Fort McHenry

If you are looking for a historic place to visit this is the one. You will learn more about Francis Scott Key and the Star Spangled Banner.

12. Rocky Gap State Park

Located in the mountains, Rocky Gap State park has so much to do from dining, shopping, golf, a casino and more. It's a great weekend getaway for the whole family.

13. Dan's Rock

Another personal favorite that I had to throw in because of my University being the one to show me this, Dan's Rock in Frostburg, Maryland. Though it may be covered in graffiti art, once you make it to the top and sit on the edge it is one of the most beautiful views you will ever get. Take as many pictures as you can because you are going to want to remember it.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
