As a decently well-versed traveler for my age, I constantly find myself procrastinating my schoolwork with more important things — non-existent trips. I love researching, planning and putting new types of trips together. The world is home to so many different travel destinations — whether it's a historical city, or a sprawling beach, here are some beautiful travel destinations you need to incorporate into your next trip:

1. Dinan, France

A historical city in Northwest France, Dinan is loaded with castles, museums and history, and merchants have taken place in the city for more than 700 years. It actually escaped the bombings of the Second World War. Dinan has many traditional French restaurants along the river.

2. Blagaj, Bosnia and Herzegovina

This is where history meets beauty; it's where beautiful monastery lies beneath a cliff next to a natural waterfall. Restaurants line the river that runs through, with beautiful views. There's also a boat ride that takes tourists and locals alike to see the monastery, while stopping at other scenic spots along the way.

3. The Magical Halle Forest, Belgium

This magical forest is covered with Bluebell flowers, and sometimes has a slight fog. I think the picture does all of the work -- how beautiful.

4. The Canola Flower Fields in China

Only available for certain times of the year, the Canola Flower Fields in China can make for a beautiful sight. You can literally see the flowers for miles. They're even referred to as a "golden sea."

5. Anguilla, Caribbean

The beaches in Anguilla stretch miles. Out of all of the islands in the Caribbean, why is Anguilla the perfect one? The beaches are lined with authentic local bars for the most traditional Caribbean experience. You can rock climb, and view other islands from just one. Water sports are one of the most popular activities on the island.

6. Hocking Hills State Park, Ohio

Hocking Hills State Park is made up of unique, beautiful rock formations and waterfalls. The park is nearly 3,500 acres -- perfect for an avid hiker. You can hunt, fish and picnic. There are even water recreation activities. The best part? You can go explore the park for free.

7. Ischia, Italy

Ischia is a small, volcanic island off of Naples. There's a beach with hot springs, the Argonese medieval castle and museums. Admission to activities is also very affordable.

8. Meissen, Germany

Meissen is a small German town with a population of about 30,000. The history is extensive, with a castle being the main focal point of the town. There are markets with traditional German food and knick-knacks.

9. Koh Lipe, Thailand

Koh Lipe is a small island near Malaysia's border. It has waters filled with coral reefs. There are resorts, and bungalows available for stay. There are a large number of sandy beaches that can accommodate many different types of travelers: relaxed, outgoing, etc.

10. Cinque Terre, Italy

Last but certainly not least: Cinque Terre, Italy. Though you may have seen this picture on Pinterest, you may not know anything about this series of magical cities. Cinque Terre literally means "five cities" in Italian. You can pay as little as 10 euros to travel between all five cities — each with its own special Italian flare. In each of the colorful towns, the Mediterranean Sea flows, vineyards are everywhere, little shops line the streets and every inlet is filled with little fishing boats.

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.
