1. Believing that you can change the world
You can make the world better, even influence it but maybe you should throw out the idea that you're going to change the world. I'm all for believing in yourself but let's be real; the likelihood of you "changing" the world is about slim to none. The sooner you realise that, the better.

2. Negative Nancy's and Debbie Downers 
My least favourite people; the Nancy's and the Debbie's of the world that bring nothing to the table but a negative attitude. Being constantly surrounded by these kinds of people do nothing but bring you down and make you feel like complete shit. Cut them loose and focus on the positives.

3. Other people's opinions
Forget the haters and their snarky opinions. You know why they think that? Because they're jealous! They actually think that you might actually succeed and that scares the shit out of them. Just doing you're thing keeping your chin up and spreading a positive attitude; because if you do this, at the end of the day, they're going to look like the asshole.

4. That it's all up to luck 
I hate the word luck when it comes to achieving goals and becoming successful. Lucky is winning the lottery, not being rewarded with a promotion for your hard work; that's fortune. When you've worked your whole life for something and you suddenly get rewarded for it with success, you are fortunate. Forget the idea that a person is only successful because of some form of luck. That is complete bullshit. Everyone only sees the end result and never the hard work it takes to get there.

5. Giving up on giving up 
They say that a person will fail on a project at least 20 times before they see any real progress or result. No one got anywhere by giving up and not caring. Giving up is the pitts and will get you no where in life. Keep going! Life is a marathon, not a sprint.

Thor: Ragnarok - Marvel Studios

In the third installment in the Thor franchise, Thor: Ragnarok, we see Marvel take the lighter more comical approach to this much loved comic character. While sometimes we think these sorts of films deserve to be taken a little more seriously, it's always great to see a movie that is self aware and knows when to take the piss out of themselves. This would attributed to new coming Marvel Director and New Zealander, Taiki Waititi. Who, like Australians, likes to joke about his accent and culture.

Going any where by yourself can be daunting. In your head, questions are continuously being played on a loop. Will I be okay? What if something bad happens? What will I do if something goes wrong? All these questions and more go through your head. Travelling solo for the first time can be scary; but once you put all that behind and focus on the benefits of seeing and experiencing something by yourself; you truly have a blast. Here are my top reasons for travelling alone.  1. Logistics  It's a lot easier to plan a getaway by yourself rather than having a heap of other people and their opinions involved. You are all that matters on this holiday  2. The power of 'me' time  Ahhhh me time. This is the beautiful time that you usually spend relaxing in your bed binge-watching the latest TV show to hit Netflix. Imagine this but on the other side of the world, see things that you'd never see anywhere else.  3. You're the master of your bucket list You and you alone get to decipher what you do on holiday without any external influencers. i loved being able to go on my own little adventure and just co crazy doing whatever I wanted to do. I'm the type of person who will just go along doing what other people want to do; but I made sure that that didn't happen on this trip. 4. You're not totally solo To think that you're going to be completely and utterly alone is somewhat naive. Whether you're backpacking, going on a group tour or just going with the flow, you'll definitely meet new people; and as cliche as it is you'll make new friends as well. 5. It'll be above and beyond your expectations When planning a holiday abroad, there's a picture in your head about how it will go. Just know this; you need to throw all those ideas out the window. You never know what travelling overseas will bring. But that's what makes it so exciting. It's these unexpected trips that will be at the top of your memory bank once it's over.

Becoming an adult may be one of the most daunting things when growing up. Being told that you have to call and make your own appointments, pay for bills and actually start working to earn a living can be a very stressful thing. All the very variables and signs that show that you're becoming an adult!

Why do we freak out though? Is it these very responsibilities that scare us or is it just the notion or idea of becoming an adult that sends shivers down or spines? I for one actually love being an adult.

This very thing came up in conversation when I was chatting to a friend of mine. She had the total opposite opinion to me though. She was a person who would do anything to be able to go back to high school and relive those days. Me however, doesn't want to go near them. Don't get me wrong, it isn't that I didn't have a good time in high school; it definitely had it 's moments, but why would I want to go back?

Why would I want to go back to being broke, stressed, overworked, no freedom and having to ask for my parents permission to do anything and everything - ummm... NO THANK YOU!

While becoming an adult comes with responsibilities, it also comes with freedom and for me, that freedom is priceless!

Santorini, known for its beautiful scenery, blue domes and as the island of love; this gorgeous Greek location was seriously breath taking.

The third stop in my Greek Island Hopping adventure, Santorini served as a relaxing break from the partying scene that is Mykonos. It also served as the island that ticked off so many things off the bucket list. I got to swim in hot springs, climb an active volcano, drive a quad bike; I even rode a donkey! It was a stop full of adventure and highlights.

My favourite part about my trip was visiting the town of Oia. You know, that location you see as everyone's screensaver on their computer or backdrop on their mobile phones. Responsible for scenic views, gorgeous blue domes and jaw dropping scenery, this little town at the top of Santorini was simply breath taking! You're pretty much right on the edge of the island. Myself and my contiki room mate grabbed lunch at a restaurant which was literally on the cliff face of the island. We literally starred at the ocean views for a good ten minutes before looking at our menu's. The waiter certainly found it funny. One of the other things that you'll certainly notice when wandering the paths of Oia is the amount of wedding parties. People actually don't really get married there but they travel just to take wedding photographs. I think I counted about 5 wedding parties when exploring.

Whilst Santorini was a great experience, would I ever go back? probably not. It's a tick off the bucket list. If someone offered to pay for my trip though; It would be rude of me not to go again! All in all, make sure you go to Santorini, everybody else has!
