The Ultimate Study Abroad Bucket List

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

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
