If only I had an unlimited amount of money to experience these extraordinary sights.

1. Ayers Rock Field of Light in Australia:

This desert landscape is transformed into a beautiful light display that includes over 50,000 solar powered lights scattered across Ayers Rock.

2. Senegal's Lake Retba:

This lake is also called Lac Rose because of it's pink hue. The lake gives off this color due to cyanobacteria, a harmless halophilic bacteria found in the water. Lake Retba also has a high salt content, allowing people to float effortlessly in the massive pink water.

3. Aurora Borealis in Alaska:

When the charged particles from the sun strike atoms and molecules in Earth's atmosphere, they excite those atoms, causing them to light up.

4. Glow Worm Cave in New Zealand:

These glow worms produce bioluminescence, and are able to light up the whole cave in a beautiful blue light.

5. Vinicunca Mountain (Rainbow Mountain) in Peru:

This is a place that is off the beaten path, a place that not many travelers have discovered yet and doesn't have much information on how to get there.

6. Khao Sok National Park:

Located in Southern Thailand and covered by the oldest evergreen rain forest in the world.

7. Tulip fields in the Netherlands:

Covered by over 7,000 bulbs in the Spring.

8. Haiku Stairs of Oahu in Hawaii:

Also known as Stairway to Heaven, a total of 3,922 steps along Oahu's Ko'olau mountain range.

9. Salar De Uyuni in the Potosí and Oruro departments of southwest Bolivia:

The world's largest salt flat. It becomes a giant mirror of the sky during the rainy season.

10. The swing at the “End of the World” in Baños, Ecuador:

At the edge of Ecuador there is a rickety tree house overlooking an active volcano in the distance. With it comes a swing to experience the killer view.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
