The Ultimate Study Abroad Bucket List

The places I want to go and the things I want to experience

216
The Ultimate Study Abroad Bucket List
Florence

In the fall of 2016, I will be studying abroad in Florence, Italy for an entire semester. These are the things I want to do and plan to see. Hopefully I'll be able to come home with a few crossed off my bucket list.


1. See the Northern Lights

For some reason, I've always had the desire to see the Northern Lights. To be honest, I'm not even sure when you can see the Northern Lights, but if I can see them during my time abroad I will be quite happy. Finland or Iceland, here I come (despite hating cold weather.)


2. Go on a Gondola ride

What better place to go on a Gondola ride than Italy?


3. See the Eiffel Tower at night

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see the Eiffel Tower at any time of the day, but if given the opportunity I'd love to see it twinkle at night.


4. Watch the sunset in Greece

What better place in the world to watch the sunset than on one of Greece's beautiful islands?


5. Throw a coin in the Trevi Fountain

This is such an iconic fountain in the world that I want to experience first hand, plus it'll make a great photo or video.


6. Drink beer at Oktoberfest

Don't worry I'll be of legal age. What better place to enjoy some beer than Oktoberfest?


7. Go on a Wine Tour in Tuscany

Tuscany will be the perfect place to go on a wine tour with friends for a day filled of relaxation with great views and wine (hopefully.)


8. Go to the Sistine Chapel

A day spent viewing Michelangelo's gorgeous masterpieces would not be a day wasted. I'll be taking an art history class abroad and Michelangelo is going to be a must see on my list, especially because I'll have a better appreciation for the arts.


9. Lounge on the beaches of the Amalfi Coast

I'm a huge fan of relaxing on the beach and being in the water, so I know this is a place I'll be visiting - the perfect weekend getaway.


10. Wander around Copenhagen

Although I don't know much about Copenhagen, I wouldn't mind spending the day wandering around what appears to be a beautiful city.


11. Go to Barcelona

After seeing the beautiful Barcelona in the Cheetah Girls many years ago, I'd love to take a weekend trip to explore the beautiful city.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

From sea to shining sea, the United States was uniquely positioned for an incredible Aurora Borealis display on Thursday, Oct. 10, 2024, going into Friday, Oct. 11.

It was the second time this year after an historic geomagnetic storm in May 2024. Those Northern Lights were visible in Europe and North America, just like this latest rendition.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
