Recently, a friend of mine and I have decided to possibly go on a trip to Japan. We are both fanatic about photography and immediately I begin researching beautiful places to visit in the country. From haunted rides to breathtaking views, it seems like Japan has it all! Even though I am still researching, I thought I would share with you guys three places that will definitely be on our bucket list trip to Japan.

1. Chureito Pagoda

This breathtaking view gives the adventurer a glimpse of Mt. Fuji among a sea of beautiful cherry blossoms. Built back in the 8th century, the pagoda is part of the Arakura Sengen Shrine, giving the viewer a bit of history and beauty.

2. Arashiyama's Path of Bamboo

I believe it's every photographer's dream to take mystical pictures within the array of bamboo. At least, it's my dream! Best hour to go is before 8 am, if you want the place to yourself.

3. Nara Dreamland

This abandoned theme park is eerie and beautiful at the same time. Opened in 1961, this park thrived for over 40 years before suddenly the popularity dwindled, until its closing day in 2006. Since then, photographers have tried to capture the nostalgia this Dreamland created.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
