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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
