10 Amazing Countries To Add To Your Travel Bucket List

Traveling the world is one thing that most people have on their bucket lists, which can make choosing a place to travel difficult. Here is a list of 10 amazingly beautiful places that you should add to your list.

10. India has a low cost of living and has a wide variety of people living there, which would make all of our different nationalities, races, and religions coming together and meeting each other so much simpler.

9. The Philippines is made up of over 7,000 tropical islands with affordable living and extremely friendly people.

8. Canada is right in our backyard, making travel quick and cheap when wanting to try a new place out.

7. Ireland has been ranked one of the most peaceful countries in the world making life seem like a giant vacation compared the busy and hectic lives of Americans.

6. Australia has kangaroos and is mainly tropical, are there any reasons why people wouldn't want to travel here?

5. Italy has two amazing things going for it: its' beauty and its' amazing food. With the way that American's eat if we were all to migrate our way to Italy we would be a population of happy and overweight people.

4. The United Kingdom holds the foundation of America in its' deep historical roots giving us a connection with it, and a desire to see more of it.

3. France oddly has a lot of Americans living there or visiting there often. It is hard to walk around and not find an American to talk to, or someone that has been to America, speaks English, or wants to talk to Americans. This makes traveling here extremely enjoyable because learning and understanding a different language can be very difficult.

2. New Zealand is a gorgeous country filled with friendly people, amazing views, and tons of sheep. The only down side is the fact that it is really expensive, but it might be worth it.

1. Panama is marked number one on livescience.com's happiest countries list. Panama is a country full of great health, financial stability, and large community involvement. Traveling here to get away from the cold or just everyday life would be an amazing experience.

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
