Must See Attractions of Costa Rica
Carly Sherman

About a year ago my family and I took a life changing trip to Costa Rica. This is a list of some of my favorite attractions and activities.

8. San Jose

The capital city of Costa Rica, San Jose is full of bright lights and beautiful parks. Our time in this city, while brief, was a splendid introduction to life and culture in Costa Rica.

7. Sarchi

Home of the world's largest painted ox cart, Sarchi is a splendid town with a lot of history. There is some spectacular scenery and gorgeous gardens in this quaint town.

6. Don Juan Coffee Tour

Ever wonder where your chocolate and coffee come from or how its made? The answer to all of your cacao related questions can be found at Don Juan's coffee farm in Monteverde, Costa Rica.

5. Arenal Volcano Hike

Do you have the desire to see an active volcano and some amazing wildlife? You can't do better than a quick hike around the base of the volcano.


4. Horseback Ride in La Fortuna

Want to get up close and personal with animals? There is no alternative to hopping on a horse and riding up the side of a volcano and through the surrounding forest. Experience the tranquility of Costa Rica.


3. Eco Termales (Hotsprings) in Monteverde

After a long day of hiking or horseback riding. Nothing is more refreshing than a long soak in a hot spring.


2. Zipline in Monteverde

A quick way to view the wildlife of Costa Rica from the canopy!

1. Hanging Bridges in La Fortuna

While it may look daunting for those who are afraid of heights (like myself), the hanging bridges make for a memorable outing that provides some of the most beautiful and photograph-able scenery I have ever seen.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

"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.
