The Beauty Of Italy

The City of Love, Life, and Adventures

The Beauty Of Italy
Travel Channel

Everyone has that one country they would love to visit in their lifetime. People ask me frequently about where I would want to travel to and as much as I would enjoy going everywhere, the only place that really tops it for me is Venice, Italy, The City of Love.

The beauty within the city is captivating and people that visit fall in love with it instantly. The fresh air and countryside give it the vibrancy that makes the whole city spark with wonder. There are so many things to look out in Italy, which makes it one of the top tourist sites.

There is, surprisingly, more background about Italy other than it being the home for their famous worldwide delicacy, pizza. One thing you may not have known is that Italy has the most beaches in Europe with its 7,400 km coastline along with many marine parks as well. As we assume that the beauty is merely in the countryside, there are cities that capture the essence of beauty of Italy, in another light.

In Rome, for instance, the Jewish Ghetto actually acquires the most expensive real estate in the city. Rome, The Eternal City, is the largest city in all of Italia (2.8 million) with Milan coming up close (1.3 million). The city is known extremely for the Vatican Museums and the Colosseum, making it one of the 50 most popular tourist attractions worldwide.

Aside from the attractions, food is very prominent when talking about Italy. Italian farms mainly produce grapes, soybeans, potatoes, sugar beets, soybeans and olives. Apart from pizza being brought up, ice-cream cones were introduced with it. Did I mention they came up with expresso machines too? The everyday food and machines that were made is so communal now, we do not think about where it even originated from. Another important invention, eyeglasses, worn by approximately 61% of people in the world, was originated in Italy near the 1270's.

Along with its beauty and enriching influence, the best works of literature was produced in this country. Shakespeare’s most popular works were all set in Italia, including Romeo and Juliet, Othello and Much Ado About Nothing. Surprisingly, no evidence was shown that Shakespeare ever even visited Italy, although, he did display the country as a fictional historical figure through his descriptions of towns in Verona, Venice and Rome.

Even If I continuously write novels and articles about the immeasurable beauty of Italy and its history, no words will display the exquisiteness until one goes and experience it for themselves. Italy also has the most hotel rooms in the nation of Europe, so when you finally decide to go explore the beautiful city, they got you covered.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
