Places To Go, Things To See

For my fellow "wanderlusters".

35
Places To Go, Things To See
Crated.

Since I was younger, I have wanted to travel the world and see all of the breathtaking places that the world has to offer. This is known as "wanderlust". Recently, this dream has grown and I've found myself realizing that if I had the money I would take some time off from school to just see the world. Unfortunately, it really is not an option for me right now, but that will not stop me from looking at all the places I want to visit, so here five of the many places I want to see in my life that you should too.

1. New York City at Christmas Time

As the city that apparently never sleeps, New York City has so much to offer. Go to a taping of the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, finally see Wicked on Broadway, go ice skating and see the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center, and walk through Times Square.

2. Australia

For anyone with a love for animals, Australia is the place for you. Go to Kakadu National Park and Blue Mountain National Park and see the Great Barrier Reef (before it dies).


3. Canada

Canada is home to so much natural beauty you can not find everywhere in the world. Go to the Montreal Botanical Garden, Banff National Park, and Vancouver Aquarium and see the polar bears in Churchill, the Northern Lights, and the Niagra Falls.


4. Ireland

Full of so much culture and a rich history, Ireland has so much to see. Go to The Cliffs of Mohar, Killarney National Park, and Dublin Zoo. Walk on Grafton Street and see the Aran Islands, the Ring of Kerry, St. Stephens Green, The Rock of Cashel, and Blarney Castle


5. London

London has something for everyone. Young or old, rich or poor. See the London Eye, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Tower of London, the view from the Shard and go to the SEALIFE London Aquarium, Madame Toussauds, and the ZSL London Zoo.


Traveling, I think, is one of the best things you can do in this life and I hope that one day I will get to see all the places I want to and I hope you do to.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.

If you haven't read the first part of this, I would highly suggest to, specifically because the Public Service Announcement placed in the beginning of that article still applies. If you don't feel like reading part one, I will try to cover it quickly. Basically, long story short, I am a pretty boring person and lead a pretty ordinary life. Due to this, please do not expect for the things I consider ridiculous to be what others may deem it. I promise that each of these I have done with a complete sane, mildly bored, brain. With all of this being said, please enjoy the semi-absurd things I have been lead to do in the second semester of my freshman year at college.

College is supposed to be one of the best times of your life. However, it is also one of the toughest transitions to make. There is so much anticipation and excitement leading up to moving into college. It doesn’t truly hit you until move in day when your parents say their final goodbyes and you see their car drive away. You truly are on your own. I was blessed to meet my best friends within the first week of school. Your college friends are so important and here’s why:
