Need more places to add to your bucket list? Here are 5 places that you need to travel to ASAP.

1. Iceland

You won't go to heaven if you don't go to Iceland. Kidding. From the beautiful waterfalls to active volcanoes, glaciers to hot springs, the Land of Fire and Ice is a study in extremes. Go to Reykjavik, the quirky capital city, where a host of reputable outfitters like Arctic Adventures offer excursions from scenic horseback rides to extreme ice climbing.

2. France

From Paris to Normandy, there is so much to see! I have been to both locations and my breath has been taken away from seeing both places. When in Paris you have to visit Eiffel Tower, Cathedral of Notre Dame, Louvre, Champs-Elysees, and Arc de Triomphe. Normandy is full of history, Normandy is best known for the D-Day beaches, the war cemeteries in Bayeux, Caen and Colleville-sur-Mer. Also, make sure to visit Abbaye du Mont-Saint-Michel—it's surrounded by water and high tides.

3. Morocco

Personally, Morocco is my favorite country. The pictures I have seen are absolutely breathtaking! The intoxicating experience of turbaned arts and craft sellers at every turn, careening donkey carts, and smiling snake charmers is unforgettable.

4. Israel

Jerusalem has a thriving art and culture scene, most notably the Israel Museum, a twenty-acre complex of exhibits and collections featuring Judaica, Israeli, and European art, plus archaeological findings. The Dead Sea Scrolls, discovered in the mid-twentieth century in caves near the Dead Sea, are housed here. Whether you are religious or not, this beautiful country is a must-see!

5. Antartica

Yes, Antartica. The absence of people means a pristine wilderness like none other, with colossal icebergs, giant whales, and tens of thousands of penguins.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
