Top 6 Places To Go If You Are Studying Abroad

In This Article:

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.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
