Your Ultimate European Road Trip

Just one of many great options.

Two years ago I went on a road trip through Europe to celebrate me graduating from high school. We went to many great places throughout Europe and I want to share my route with all of you, hopefully, you'll get some inspiration. Of course, this is not the only route that you can take, but this was mine, so I just write what I know.

1. Berlin, Germany

Berlin is a really cool city. I did find the 'must-sees' a bit disappointing, but we also did an 'underground' city tour that went to all of these unusual places in the city that you wouldn't go to on your own. This was the most fun thing we did in this city!

2. Krakow, Poland

Krakow is really beautiful, and also really cheap. Although it isn't really a big city, you can roam around just fine. It has a really big shopping mall and a few fun places you can visit. We also went to concentration camp 'Auschwitz', which is really close by. That was a really overwhelming experience.

3. Prague, Czech Republic

Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic, and it is immensely touristic. But the city deserves it, it is really beautiful and if you search a bit deeper there are also many interesting places hidden in plain sight. I would say that when you've seen this city once, you don't have to see it again. But that's my personal opinion.

4. Vienna, Austria

Vienna was the most beautiful city of the entire tour. The buildings, palaces, everything was so beautiful. We also went to the zoo, which is the oldest zoo in the world! I also really loved the Sissie museum, about the legendary Empress Elisabeth.

5. Hunedoara, Romania

Hunedoara itself was a bit underwhelming, but we were expecting that. We went specifically for the Dracula castle, which is located there. Romania was a really beautiful country tho, and really cheap too. I would definitely go back, but not to Hunedoara.

6. Zagreb, Croatia

Zagreb is the capital of Croatia and a really beautiful city. It has lots of interesting museums and it has a great atmosphere. It was really warm tho when we were there in the middle of the summer. Spring would be the better season to visit I think.

7. Budapest, Hungary

Budapest is such a young and energetic city. There's a lot of youth in the city and the nightlife is really energetic. There are great karaoke bars and the city itself is also really beautiful. You should definitely do a city tour.

8. Ljubljana (& Bled), Slovenia

Ljubljana was the most surprising city during all of the tours. It was really small, but there was so much to see and do. We also went to Bled during a day trip, just 30 minutes by train. It's a really beautiful lake with waterfalls nearby. You should definitely do a day trip when you're there.

9. Verona, Italy

The city of Romeo and Juliet, the city of Shakespeare's love story. This is a typical Italian city with lots of high fashion houses and a Roman arena. Definitely worth a visit, extremely touristic tho.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
