Over the summer, I went on a trip to Paris, France and London, England with my grandparents and mom to celebrate my high school graduation. I condensed the 1,349 pictures I took into my 31 favorite pictures that perfectly capture the beauty and history of these two places. I also threw in some food porn because, let's be real, food's a huge part of travel.

1. The Shard in London

2. The Eiffel Tower

3. Eiffel Tower Views

4. More Eiffel Tower Views (I would say I'm sorry but I'm not, there'll be more)

5. Champagne Toast (one of my personal favorites from the trip)

6. AMAZING Shepard's Pie from a restaurant in Paris

7. One of the Lions of Trafalgar Square in London

8. Just a pretty London street

9. London cappuccinos

10. The Tower Bridge in London

11. London near Buckingham Palace

12. Sunset in Trafalgar Square

13. Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace

14. Arc de Triomphe

15. Champs Elysees sign

16. Another street but this time it's Paris

17. The Louvre

18. My amazing grandparents in front of the Eiffel Tower (they're actual relationship goals)

19. The Eiffel Tower lit up at night

20. The Seine River

21. An apartment building in Paris with flower boxes (this actually happens, I couldn't make this up)

22. A cafe sign (another one of my favorites & I couldn't tell you why)

23. Candles in the Notre Dame Cathedral

24. Stained glass in Notre Dame

25. Big Ben

26. Panorama from the rooftop bar of our hotel in Trafalgar Square in London

27. Westminster Abbey

28. Panorama from the London Eye

29. The most amazing chocolate mousse in Paris (I crave this daily)

30. The view from our hotel room in Paris

31. The moment I saw the Eiffel Tower for the first time.

My grandpa promised me when I was three that he would take me to see the Eiffel Tower. I spent my whole life dreaming of what it would be like and the emotion on my face is obvious. THIS is my absolute favorite of all 1,349 pictures taken.

Oh yea, Christmas. It’s time to take out all of the decorations and Christmas themed things that have been sitting in the attic since last year; it’s time to make a reappearance. So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

The holiday classics that shaped my life

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.

6. Does expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?

12. If your shirt isn't tucked into your pants, are your pants tucked into your shirt?

13. Why is it called "quick sand" if you sink slowly in it?
