Whether it's your tenth time in Boston or your first, there's so many different things you can try. This bucket list is affordable, easy to do, and of course fun!

1. Quincy Market/Faneuil Hall

Quincy Market and Faneuil Hall are two of the most visited places in downtown Boston and there's a reason why! Both are filled with tons of people, shops, and food. You can grab a bite to eat at Dick's Last Resort and some desert at The Chipyard (try the banana chocolate chip cookies!). This is one place you don't want to miss while you're here in Boston.

2. Fenway Park

If you're coming to Boston might as well catch a Red Sox game. Tickets are affordable and you'll always have a great time. Grab a Fenway frank and snap a picture with Wally, it'll definitely be a time to remember.

3. Cask'n Flagon

If you're at Fenway then you'll need to stop as Cask'n Flagon. The whole place is filled with televisions to watch whatever Boston games are playing at that time. Everyone's a Boston sports fan so don't expect anything else! It's also been a Fenway staple since 1969 and plans to stay that way.

4. Brattle Book Shop

If you're a bookworm, or not, this adorable little book store is the perfect place to visit. It's one of the largest antique book stores in the country. They almost always have an outside selection ranging from $1-10 for used books. Maybe you'll find a hidden gem and make some money off of it!

5. The Boston Common

The common is definitely something you want to experience once while you're in Boston. You'll probably find some strange people but everyone has a story and some of them are actually interesting to listen to. You'll definitely see a couple making out, homeless people, and someone smoking weed but hey it's normal here!

6. Juicy Spot

Juicy Spot is a tiny ice cream shop hidden away in Chinatown. Its not just any ice cream though, it's rolled. If you've never heard of rolled ice cream it's milk poured onto an flat chilled surface and they chop in your ingredients and it eventually turns into ice cream which they then scrape and roll and place into a cup. Juicy Spot has some unique flavors including Good crazy matcha which has lychee, mochi, grass jelly, and condensed milk.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
