There's still plenty of states to visit, but for right now here are my top 5 states I haven't visited...yet: 5. Maine: When I think of Maine, I picture three things: sand, seagulls, and lighthouses.

As someone who has attempted to learn three different languages (at varying levels of "success"), I can tell you that it can be a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows. Like I'm sure many of you, I opted for Spanish as my foreign language of choice in high school. I came away from two years of high school Spanish with more knowledge of the language, yes...but not much. In college, I decided to try my hand at French. Maybe it was the proximity to our French-speaking neighbors to the North, maybe i
