✓ 26. Meet a famous person

✓ October 29, 2014
I met the AJR brothers (you probably don't know their name, but there's a good chance if you listen to pop music that you know this song) in Rochester, NY. (I actually liked their opening act more hehe but that's irrelevant)






(Shoutout to the opening act, my darlings, Minor Soul:


Jack made eye contact with me through their entire set. Wonderful. <3 )

✓ 92. Niagara Falls

✓ July 30, 2012

This was a spontaneous trip with my uncle. I live less than two hours from the falls, so we decided the night before that we were gonna go.








I later went back, and saw the Canadian side for the first time as part of my senior trip.

✓ 11. Ride a camel
