Top 6 Places To Go If You Are Studying Abroad

From being an EU citizen and as I am currently studying abroad, I have had experiences throughout Europe. These are the places that are must-sees if you find you have a weekend free.

1. Lake Como, Italy

In very northern Italy lies Lake Como that contains the most amazing scenery. Coming during warmer months is more ideal as you can go swimming and travel by boat across the lake. You can also George Clooney's house from the lake.

2. Split, Croatia

The second largest city in Croatia, Split has not only beautiful beaches but also has ruins of ancient Rome. Croatia is also not a major destination for American tourists, which makes it more relaxing.

3. Amsterdam, Netherlands

Amsterdam is a beautiful city and also contains lots of historic sites. There is the Anne Frank House, the Van Gogh Museum, and so much more. They also have their famous coffee shops that attract many college age kids.

4. Ibiza, Spain

There is no better time to travel to Ibiza then while studying abroad. It's most likely one of your only opportunities to go. Obviously, there are crazy clubs there but there are also beautiful beaches, so definitely go when it's warmer out. It is an experience that you will not want to miss.

5. Paris, France

This is probably on everyone's list, but I believe that given the opportunity one has to go to Paris. It is a breathtaking city with things to do around every corner. The food is also amazing!

6. Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona is filled with art and architecture. It is the most visited city in Spain, so there will be a lot of tourists but it is still definitely worth the visit. Barcelona is also known for having extremely fun clubs. It would also be fun to watch a soccer game while you are in Barcelona, as they have extremely rowdy soccer fans.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
