Being from the East Coast, I grew up used to the humid environment encompassed with deciduous forests and the amazing Appalachian mountains. When I decided to go to college in Arizona, I was so excited to experience a completely different environment and terrain from what I know. Since then, I've enjoyed exploring what the desert has to offer and the stunning attractions that inhibit it. I'm halfway through with my junior year which has me starting to think about all the things I want to do before I graduate. Therefore, it is my goal to explore Arizona as much as possible with my time left. I have taken some time to gather a list of some extravagant places that I aspire to visit here. As a tourist or Arizona native, I hope this list presumes to be helpful to you. There is so much to explore!

1. The Grand Canyon

Out of all my four years at school in the state of one of the world's natural wonders, it would truly be a shame if I did not take advantage of this opportunity.

2. Horseshoe Bend

A must see attraction of a beautiful body of water formed into the shape of a horseshoe

3. Antelope Canyon

A stunning area to walk through, especially when the sunlight shines through the top

4. Havasupai Falls

Due to the common assumption that Arizona is "land-locked" because we neglect an ocean, there are several areas of water like this wonderful waterfall, lakes, and more.

5. The Wave

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi9pd_3hpngAhXnCDQIHeZVChUQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.travelingmom.com%2Ffamily-vacation-destinations%2Fsouthwest-us-destinations%2Fwave-hike-lifetime-arizona%2F&psig=AOvVaw1id5LbHl5u8AXIh2Azg-Ua&ust=1549059619166740

It is amazing that this eye-pleasing formation is just nature doing its thing. I heard that this attraction is very hard to visit as there is a wait list and lottery type of way to win your chance. This is because of the delicacy of the area that can only hold a certain capacity at a time in order to maintain this natural work of art.

I have not yet been able to embark on these extraordinary trips; however, it is my mission to do so before I graduate and leave Arizona. I think putting it in writing will make it a reminder for me to do so. I hope this list inspires you to do the same, so feel free to send it to whoever you'd like to go on these endeavors with! Good luck and happy trails! :)

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
