What Happens When You Don’t Know Anyone And Decide To Go Abroad, Part VIII (Rome)

Wandy Ortiz

This week marks the halfway point of my semester in Europe. Thus far, I've been in eight different cities in four different countries. Along the way, I've recently discovered an interest in amateur photography. I am finding that there are two things that make my photography efforts fun: angles and editing. Messing around with the different perspectives and making changes to original photos is a great new hobby. Additionally, it also kills a lot of time on long bus, plane, and train rides where I don't always have data, wifi, or service.

In order to celebrate and commemorate my first 8 weeks in Europe, I want to share with you guys my top 10 favorite photos, in chronological order, out of the hundreds I've taken so far!

1. Beneath the Eiffel Tour (Paris, France)

2. Atop the Arc de Triomphe (Paris, France)

3. Atop the Cliffs of Normandy (France)

4. Rue Crémiuex (Paris, France)

5. Fireworks at Disney Land Paris (France)

6. Liège Waffle (Brussels, Belgium)

8. Island of Manarola (Cinque Terre, Italy)

10. Assisi, Italy

If any of these look too good to be true, they are to a certain extent. I want to use my photos to help express to others the feeling of sublime awe I have when I encounter a new place for the first time. Hopefully when you check out these photos, you feel it too. Even better--I hope when you feel it, it will inspire you to see how good these really are yourself!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. 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.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

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.
