5 Must-See Places in Australia
Iilya Genkin

Australia, the land down under. With hundreds of things to do, it can be hard to decide what to do first when you visit there. Here are the first five things you must do when visiting Australia.

1. Australian Open - Melbourne

Featuring the world's best tennis players, the Australian Open is an annual tennis tournament played in Melbourne. As one of the four grand slams, and perhaps the one with the most upsets, the Australian Open isn't just for tennis fans. It's a great sporting experience for anyone, and since the finals is usually on Australia Day, you will be able to see fireworks, making it a great show.

2. Sydney Harbour Bridge

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is an iconic part of Sydney's skyline. Not only that, you can climb it or walk across it. It's a great adventurous experience and there's an absolutely breathtaking view at the top.

3. Great Barrier Reef


It speaks for itself, snorkeling or scuba diving in the great barrier reef is the only way you can see the beautiful biodiversity of Earth, all in one place.

4. The Outback

No, not the restaurant. The Outback is the desert region of Australia, and if you thought you saw every animal on Earth in the Great Barrier Reef, think again. The Outback makes up for everything you missed, and probably more.

5. Aaand finally, the Australian cities

Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, and Canberra are all must-see cities in Australia. Each one has its own culture and diversity, and each one has plenty of attractions for all types of people.

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?
