Dreaming of standing in front of the Eiffel Tower is on most people's' bucket list, I know it was on mine. You see famous landmarks in magazines, in film, in paintings, and you can only imagine the day you get to actually see it in person. But then you finally do get to see these places and they're so much more spectacular, and huge, than you thought they would be.

This past weekend I went to Paris and I got to see the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, and the Arc de Triumphe, and they were so beautiful. Getting off the Metro I turned the corner and saw the Eiffel Tower for the first time, and I teared up several times at its beauty. We spent so much time taking all kinds of pictures, just basking in its presence. We spent a lot of our time around it within the two days we were there, its just so amazing. Also, the ice cream around the Eiffel Tower is absolutely amazing that I had three cones while I was there.

The Arc de Truimphe and Notre Dame were also so amazing. In person, you get to see the detail up close and I loved seeing the surrounding areas you wouldn't get to see in pictures.

While it is true that Paris is a very dirty city, I mean there was trash everywhere, the city is absolutely beautiful. And despite always hearing that the French are rude, everyone was extremely nice to us! Make Paris one of your next vacations, because it is an amazing city.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
