5 Must-See Places in Australia

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.

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!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).
