My European Adventure

Whoever said traveling was boring must not be doing it right.

Whoever said traveling wasn't the best experience of your life was seriously mistaken. For the last two weeks I was traveling to both London, England and Rome, Italy, and let me tell you, it was the best two weeks of my life.

For the first few days, we were in London. We went sightseeing at places like Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and many others. I have always seen these famous places in pictures but never understood how grand they all are. They all looked beautiful and it was just so breathtaking to see.


After London, we hopped over to Rome. Let me tell you, Rome is beautiful. The sun was shining and was scorching hot, but it was so worth it. Buildings and little stores are all crammed together on little roads, and you can walk practically everywhere. The Trevi Fountain was the most breathtaking monument I saw, especially lovely at night when it's all lit up and the water sparkles. Fresh Italian food was amazing, ranging from pasta to Nutella flavored gelato (My vacation obsession).

We went back to London for the last few days of our vacation, and I saw even more than I did at the beginning! We went downtown to one of the oldest cathedrals in London, Southwark Cathedral, dating back to before the 1100s! Most of the original pieces of the church's architecture were there, although some parts of stone had to be updated. The most amazing memory I have of this trip was randomly breaking into song in the church with my family. When we sang together, the sound just filled up the whole room and echoed, making it sound like Heaven's gates were opening up. We sang inspirational oldies that hopefully brought peace to the people around us.

Lastly, we of course had to see all the spots for the Harry Potter movies. I even took a picture on Platform 9 3/4!


This trip was the best vacation I've ever had, and I cannot wait until I am able to go back!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
