Motel 6 Pigeon Forge

1. Does Ripley's own everything around here?

There's the Ripley's Aquarium, the Believe it or not place, Old MacDonald's Farm Mini Golf, Davy Crockett Mini Golf, and a movie theater! You name it, and the Ripley name is probably on it.

2. It costs HOW much to do that? Well, I guess if you do a combo, that's a deal.

Seriously, some of these attractions are pricey.

3. (While cruising the parkway) Is this what deja vu is like??

When I visit Sevier County, I feel like the whole town repeats itself every 5 miles.

4. Let's get old-time photos made!

They are really cute, and pictures are fun.

5. Who's up for go-kart races? What about putt-putt?

Pick a theme and go for it! There are so many tracks and courses to choose from!

6. How in the world do all these Christmas stores stay open year-round?

It's a Christmas miracle, I guess.

7. Is it really moonshine if it's legal?

In my personal opinion, no. Definitely not. If you can buy it in broad daylight, it's not MOONshine. This stuff is a disgrace.

8. Fudge, flapjacks, and fun. That's Gatlinburg.

Should I add flannel for the Lumberjack Dinner show? Whatever, we are definitely getting fudge for dessert afterward.

9. So much chocolate, so many smells, so many lights.

Seriously, my senses are a little overloaded. Between the flashing signs, fair food smells, and abundance of things to see, my brain is frazzled.

10. Whoa! So, that's how taffy is made.

That's pretty cool. I could watch it spin forever.

11. If you like beef jerky, this is the town for you.

Y'all, there are 4, yes 4, Beef Jerky Outlets in Sevier County. Meat-lovers rejoice!

12. I thought those $9.99 or less stores were only for, like, party beach towns. I guess I thought wrong.

Wait, am I at the beach? No, there's the mountains. Hmm. Okay then.

13. I mean, I've always heard that dinner was better with a show, but which one??

The Dixie Stampede, Hatfields and McCoys, Lumberjack Feud, and the Comedy Barn all sound fun!

14. Jesus, Elvis, bears, food, rides, crafts, sex stores, this place has it all!

There really is something for everyone here. You will find whatever you are looking for.

15. But seriously, why are there SO many sex stores? Just why?

Half the town is loving Jesus, and the other loves this "stuf".

16. Ooohhh a drive-in chapel. Let's get married.

No, wait. Yeah, you're right. Let's not.

17. Let's head to the cabin and relax awhile.

The rockers are comfy, and the Smokies are breathtaking. Take it all in while you rock and sip on some sweet tea.

18. This is a cool place. Let's come back!

All jokes aside, Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg are all pretty neat places. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
