10 Places in the U.S. that should be on Every Millennial's bucket List

Traveling is something that everyone wants to do, no matter your age, financial bracket, or education level. The ever present need to see some place new connects us all. So lets ignite your wanderlust as we look at some pretty amazing places in the great U. S. of A.


10. Charleston, South Carolina

This is the land of Spanish moss and rich history. Everywhere you walk, you feel like you are put back to the time of antebellum homes, horse drawn carriages, and the echos of the Civil War.


9. Branson, Missouri

Branson has tons of fun stuff to do, you can walk along the river, go to Silver Dollar City to ride roller-coasters, or go to Dolly Parton's Stampede to enjoy an amazing dinner and show. The city is full of live music and shows, its fun for everyone!


8. Arches National Park, Utah

Arches National Park is breathtakingly beautiful, these sandstone rock formations are great fun for the avid hikers, bikers, and those who just love seeing Gods amazing creation.


7. Old San Juan, Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is a beautiful island, but in Old San Juan, you get a glimpse at the rich lives the Puerto Rican people live. From the gorgeous colors of the buildings to beautiful ocean view, you cant get much better than this city. (And yes Puerto Rico is indeed a US territory!).


6. Mesa Verde, Colorado

Visit Mesa Verde, where you can see what life was like for cliff dwellers approximately 600 years ago. With the help of a guide you will be able to climb around the Cliff Palace and gaze at the beautiful view of the land surrounding this ancient wonderland.


5. Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming

If you love mountains and hiking, the Tetons is a great place to be. With an elevation of 13,770 feet, you will definitely feel like you are on top of the world. The striking beauty of these mountains is a view you wont likely forget.


4. Chicago, Illinois

Chicago is complete with Navy Pier, Sears Tower, The Bean, and many more beautiful attractions. Navy Pier is a great place to grab lunch before heading over to take pictures with The Bean, then popping into Sears tower to see the city from a birds eye view. Finish your day off by eating dinner on the pier, maybe buying a souvenir and then watching the fireworks over Lake Michigan.


3. Nashville, Tennessee

Nashville is perfect for the whole family, take a stroll in centenial park where you will see a replica of the Parthenon, then pop over to Rymen auditorium to learn about the history of the city and then finally finish off your day partying and eating on Broadway Street. This city is perfect for you, your parents, your little siblings. Everyone will have fun in Nashville


2. Silverton, Colorado

This is my favorite place on planet earth, if you are a camping or hiking enthusiast, this is the place for you! You can spend your nights camping at elevations as high as 13,487 feet and spend your days riding your four-wheeler all around the mountain. Enjoy shopping in the small mining town and visit historic museums to learn about the history. The Durango-Silverton vintage steam train will take you right into town and you might even see one of the young moose that were born there last year.


1. Yellowstone National Park

Personal Photo

While it is famous for its geysers and springs, Yellowstone is easily the most beautiful place in the USA, its complete with insanely gorgeous mountains, beautiful herds of buffalo, and extremely interesting geysers. (Word to the wise, do not try and take a picture with a buffalo... You will get trampled.)

"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?
