The UK is a very popular place for many different people to visit, and for good reason. It has a long history that you can learn about if you travel there, with many destinations relating to historical events, such as where the Magna Carta was signed, or where past Kings and Queens have visited. The UK also has beautiful scenery, from the English countryside with cozy cottages to the lochs of Scotland. I myself have travelled around parts of the UK while I was there for a couple months over this summer. Overall the UK has much to offer for people willing to travel there. 

Probably the most popular place to travel to in the UK is London, England. London is a centuries old city located in the south of England. Its history can be traced back to when the Romans had power in England. Because of its hundreds of years of history, there are many monuments to visit while you are there. One of them is the Tower of London, which is one of the most popular monuments in London. The tower has been used for multiple things, such as executions, a prison, a zoo, and houses the Crown Jewels. You can also visit other historic buildings such as Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, or Kensington Palace. There’s also many shopping areas, such as Oxford Street or Covent Garden.

Scotland is a beautiful country, known for its beautiful landscapes of lochs and highlands. One of the most popular lochs in Scotland is Loch Ness, which is said to have a sea monster in it called Nessie, with many people claiming to have seen her. You can also travel through the highlands by walking, train, or by car, and also visit the many old castles they have there, such as the Urquhart Castle or the Eilean Donan Castle. Another place to see is Edinburgh, which is a dark academic city that is hundreds of years old, you can see the Edinburgh Castle, Cathedrals, and museums. 

Ireland has many beautiful places to visit, including the beautiful and unique landscape and old castle ruins. You can also visit the capitol city, Dublin, which has multiple historical areas, Dublin Castle, museums, and shopping areas. Another popular place to visit in Ireland are the Cliffs of Moher, which are stunning cliffs in Clare, Ireland, where you can also see lots of birdlife. You can also visit the ruins of Rock of Cashel, which is centuries old and has been visited by many historical figures such as saints and kings. 

Wales is a country that borders the west of England, it is a country that also holds beautiful scenery and years of history. I was lucky enough to get to travel there for a couple days over last summer while I was in England. St. Briavels Castle is located near the Welsh-English border, and is known for its many ghostly hauntings and a place where royalty once visited. It’s now a youth hostel that you can stay in. Also in Wales is the River Wye, which is a beautiful river that you can canoe on with a tour guide. Wales also has many castles that you can visit, such as the Caerphilly Castle or Cardiff Castle. 

Overall the U.K. has much to offer for people that want to travel there. It holds many historic places including cathedrals, castles, palaces, or prisons. The U.K. also has vast amounts of beautiful landscape that is different from any other place in the world. And is great for people who are interested in the great amount of history it has.

Study Tips

Studying is something that no one particularly enjoys. It can seem like a lot, especially if work piles up and classes seem to get harder, but creating a system for studying can help. It can help organize your workload and take some stress off of you. This blog will hopefully help give you some tips on how to make a study system for you, one that you can find from someone else or tailor for yourself. 

The first thing to make sure you have is notes. Make sure you are taking notes during class when you need them, you could use a computer, if allowed, or write them down, which helps more with memorization. Once you finish the notes, if they aren’t organized you could make them more organized at a different time, and while you do that, take more time to try and understand the topic you were taking notes on. You could organize them with flashcards, or do whole detailed lists, whatever works for you.

A useful source to use when making a study system on the Internet. You can find youtube, tiktok, instagram, etc videos online that can give you some inspiration for ways to study. There’s plenty of accounts out there that are dedicated to helping with schoolwork. The Internet would be an easy source to use because it is also very accessible, everyone can use it and it has almost everything you need on it. Another online study tip is to use Quizlets. Quizlets can help you organize your notes, study, and memorize things for tests and quizzes. These things can help you organize and come up with study plans, and they’re sources you can use outside of school while you have free time.  

So there are some starting tips on how to create a study system for yourself. Make sure to keep your notes organized, and organize them based on what works best for you to memorize them. You can also use, outside of school, the internet. It can be a very helpful tool when you can’t understand something or you just need some pointer or motivation. Hopefully these tips will help you and your studies!
