Chattanooga Day Trip For The 4th of July
Madhurya Gajula

Every year for the Fourth of July, my family tries to do something besides watching fireworks at our local park. This year, my family decided to head up to Chattanooga, Tennessee. I'd never been to Chattanooga to explore the city before this, so we did a lot of touristy activities, including taking a tour of the city!

We started off with lunch since we had gotten there a little after noon. Little did I know, I would find my FAVORITE meal ever. This is the Voodoo Chicken from Boathouse. If you're ever in town, you need to check this out.

The restaurant is called Boathouse since it's located right next to the Tennessee River. This was the view from our table on the patio.

After lunch, we decided to head to a tour of the city since it was our first time exploring the city. On our way to a boat tour of Chattanooga on the Tennessee River, we saw the Tennessee Aquarium.

Soon after that, we got onto the boat to begin our tour.

We saw the Hunter Museum of American Art...

the Tennessee Aquarium...

the iconic Walnut Street Bridge...

and Ross's Landing, a Native American memorial for the Trail of Tears.


After the tour of Chattanooga and the Riverside Park area, we decided to drive up to see Lookout Mountain. We went up the area to see the Lookout Mountain Incline.

The view from this spot was breathtaking! You could see so far out into the distance, which was amazing to me.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
