Insider Journeys

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.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo
