Charleston, SC is not only one of the most beautiful cities — it's the absolute perfect mix of historical sites and modern architecture. And for that reason alone, it's one of my favorite cities in the world.

From Folly Beach to the Market, Charleston is home to so much diverse life and rich culture. With move-in weekend approaching fast for CofC, I decided to highlight some of the best features Charleston has to offer.

1. The Market

The Market in Charleston has always been my favorite spot to visit in Charleston. Every year when my family takes our annual vacation to Charleston, we always stop by the market to see all the vendors and grab our favorite Green Tea in all of the South. The Market was first built in 1790 and has been growing and changing ever since. The Market is a tourist icon for Charleston and a must-visit for everyone.

2. The Battery

The Battery itself is almost indescribably beautiful. The view at sunset is beyond amazing and the houses that line the battery are exceptionally unique. Seeing all the carriages ride by and watching the dolphins swim past is the perfect way to end your trip to Charleston.

3. Citadel

Besides the intricate parades that take place every Friday afternoon and the rich history, the Citadel is definitely a must visit. The unique architecture offers you a glimpse inside one of the most prestigious military college in the South. The atmosphere inside the campus is definitely something you have to witness first hand.

4. King St

King St is one of two streets that run through the edge of the city to the Battery. Besides the amazing shopping opportunities, King St holds a street fair every third sunday of the month which is definite must see.

5. Folly Beach

Folly Beach is THE beach hangout. Folly Beach has definitely grown into a pretty chill spot for college students and offers a ton beach side restaurants and shops.

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
