5 Times Vienna Turned Out To Be The Best Weekend Getaway
Karighan Walker-Alicea

A couple weekends ago I took a weekend trip to Vienna, Austria. It may be one of the most beautiful cities I've ever visited! From the food to the massive palaces, Vienna is one of my favorite places I've been so far. Here are my top 5 favorite things from my trip!

1. Schnitzel

I think may have found my new love. After visiting the Belvedere, we chose to have dinner at a Salm Braeu. They had amazing schnitzel! Following our meal there, we ate schnitzel as least once a day for the remainder of our weekend. I was in heaven!

2. Museums

There are so many cool museums in Vienna. I saw the Sigmund Freud museum, the Natural History Museum, the Belvedere, and the Albertina. It was amazing to see Klimt's "The Kiss" in real life at the Belvedere!

3. Wiener Eistraum

While walking around Vienna, we came across Wiener Eistraum. We instantly decided we had to go ice skating while there! It was such a fun time. There were three large rinks and then several paths that go around the area and connect the rinks. The decorations were cute, the music was great, and I didn't fall!

4. The aesthetics

I really enjoyed the color schemes in Vienna! Almost of the buildings are pastels. Everything is light and colorful. It was refreshing to see because most cities are brick and cement.

5. The Nightlife

Every place I went had really great music! It was also cool to meet new people. I met lots of people there on vacation and a bunch of locals. Everyone was very inviting and spoke English very well. My favorite was Chelsea!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
