8 Travel Adventures I Have Always Wanted to Go On

We all have adventures and places we have wanted to go since we were little, often because of the movies we watched, songs we've heard, things we've learnt in class or the environment we grew up in. These are the top eight adventures I have always has on my bucket list.

1. Visit Paris, France

I grew up speaking french, watching movies in french, and of course you can imagine that, as a french speaker, one of my dreams was going to Paris or visiting France. I have always wanted to go to France and sit by the window in a cafe while sipping tea and eating a croissant as I watch people pass by, as well as visit the eiffel tower, the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs Elysees.

2. Skydive

While this can seem like a crazy thing to want to do, I'm all about taking risks. I have wanted to go skydiving ever since I was six; the first time I saw a skydiver's picture in one of my class textbooks. My six year old mind thought it would be a great thing to try, jumping off a plane. This is something I still want to try. Seeing the world in a bird's view seems like a great thing to experience.

3. Go on a world cruise

While the only time I was on a boat or at sea was going to Staten island to see the Statue of Liberty, I still think seeing the world from a cruise would be great. Despite the fear instilled by Titanic, I think going at sea and travelling around the world is an adventure that every human should partake in.

4. Travel to Hawaii

Let's get real, Hawaii is the ultimate destination for relaxation and having a good time. If you watched movies growing up, you know you dreamed Hawaii was the place you wanted to go. With its beaches and different culture, Hawaii is a place that always had a pull on me and I look forward to visiting it.

5. �See Europe

Europe is my favorite continent, despite their selfishness and exploitation of Africa. It is full of landmarks and has a great history. Visiting Europe would be a dream come true as I would be able to see all these great countries: Italy with the pasta and pizza, Portugal, Germany, Greece with the different ancient buildings, Spain with its cathedrals, England with its tea, Switzerland with its mountains and Netherlands with its canals. Whether its backpacking or sightseeing, I would love going to Europe.

�6. Go to Disney World at least once

Growing up watching disney movies and animation, I developed a great love for Disney. I still watch Disney as an adult: you can ask my teammates what channel I put on whenever we have trips to other states. Seeing Disney World, the castles, and the magic of "the place where dreams come true" would definitely please my childlike spirit.

7. Walk The Great Wall of China

China has many different aspects and cultures; The Wall of China is one of its most talked about landmarks. Walking or hiking around this monument would certainly be an adventure.

8. Visit Latin America

Latin America is the second continent I've always wanted to visit because of its amazing culture, lively music, many beaches and diverse landmarks. I would be delighted to visit its many countries.

Final note: I am now accepting donations towards making these dreams come true.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
