A couple weekends ago I took a weekend trip to Vienna, Austria. It may be one of the most beautiful cities I've ever visited! From the food to the massive palaces, Vienna is one of my favorite places I've been so far. Here are my top 5 favorite things from my trip!

1. Schnitzel

I think may have found my new love. After visiting the Belvedere, we chose to have dinner at a Salm Braeu. They had amazing schnitzel! Following our meal there, we ate schnitzel as least once a day for the remainder of our weekend. I was in heaven!

2. Museums

There are so many cool museums in Vienna. I saw the Sigmund Freud museum, the Natural History Museum, the Belvedere, and the Albertina. It was amazing to see Klimt's "The Kiss" in real life at the Belvedere!

3. Wiener Eistraum

While walking around Vienna, we came across Wiener Eistraum. We instantly decided we had to go ice skating while there! It was such a fun time. There were three large rinks and then several paths that go around the area and connect the rinks. The decorations were cute, the music was great, and I didn't fall!

4. The aesthetics

I really enjoyed the color schemes in Vienna! Almost of the buildings are pastels. Everything is light and colorful. It was refreshing to see because most cities are brick and cement.

5. The Nightlife

Every place I went had really great music! It was also cool to meet new people. I met lots of people there on vacation and a bunch of locals. Everyone was very inviting and spoke English very well. My favorite was Chelsea!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
