And with that, in my 22nd year of life, I'm making a vow to myself that I will at least attempt travel to all the places listed below within the next year, or at least make a good start on this list to embark on a life full of traveling. This past year hasn't been the greatest to me, but it has taught me how happy I am while traveling and how much I genuinely enjoy exploring new places! So I can't wait to see where this year takes me, and all the cool places I'll get to explore in the near future.

1. New Orleans, LA

The music and culture here is something I've always been drawn to. I've just been waiting for the 21st birthday to actually make the trip down there and have some fun.

2. Chicago, IL

Think I'll make it on an episode of Shameless next season?

3. Los Angeles, CA

Can I have my movie moment now, please and thank you?

4. Rochester, NY

Not only is Rochestor loaded with museums, but they even have a super cool amusement park. Sign me up!

5. Las Vegas, NV

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas... Am I right?

6. Santa Fe, New Mexico

The architecture and art here is amazing, and a definite must visit!

7. Sonoma, CA

Who doesn't want to visit Wine Country?!

8. Sedona, AZ

Imagine all the cool hikes I could do throughout Arizona?!

9. Denver, CO

The state parks and history in Colorado

10. Anchorage, AL

I used to be obsessed with Alaska State Troopers, and the nature in Alaska in mind blowing. And who doesn't want to see the Northern Lights in their lifetime?

11. Salt Lake City, UT

There's countless of things to do in Salt Lake, count me in.

12. Key West, FL

Where you at Kenny Chesney? I'm coming for you.

13. San Antonio, TX

I want to see if San Antonio matches all the hype.

14. Chattanooga, TN

I've been to Tennessee before, but I never got to visit Chattanooga. Looks like I need to go back sometime soon!

15. Louisville, KY

My goal in life is to visit every state USA, and maybe I'll make it to a real Kentucky Derby?!

16. Santorini, Greece

If you say you don't wan't to visit Santorini at some point in your life... YOU'RE LYING.

17. Rome, Italy

I just want to have my Lizzie McGuire moment. I want to find my Paolo.

18. Montreal, Canada

With my shiny new passport, I can go anywhere. Why not visit one of our neighboring countries?! And maybe even stop to see the beautiful Niagara Falls?!

19. Barcelona, Spain

And I just want to have my Cheetah Girls moment.. is that too much to ask?

20. Honolulu, HI

Not only is it tropical, but it's in the states! There's no excuse to not explore these beautiful islands.

21. Phuket, Thailand

Can you sense the adventure? Not only is it an inexpensive destination, but the culture and places to explore set this place apart from them all.

22. Bora Bora, French Polynesia

It might be on the more expensive side, but it's beautiful and tropical. Definitely a must.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

Kansas State University

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
