Forget New York, With All Its Endless Sights, Sounds, And Adventures–Las Vegas Is The True 'City That Never Sleeps'
Cristian Alvarez

I've truly been blessed to explore and travel all over the United States. This country offers a lot of beautiful sights and must-see destinations. In my years of traveling, one place I've frequently visited is the city of Las Vegas, Nevada. I can't remember the last time I went an entire year without taking a trip to Sin City. I tend to visit Vegas around three to four times a year—it's turned into a family tradition of taking a weekend getaway to the entertainment capital of the world whenever we have the chance.

The city is probably one of the most iconic locations in the world. People from across the globe come to Vegas to see everything the city has to offer. Las Vegas is the one place you always see and hear about in the movies or magazines. The place where celebrities and famous superstars come to shine under the bright lights. It's the place where some people turn their rags into riches (or empty pockets) depending on their luck.

I could never get tired of being in Las Vegas. No matter how many times I visit, I feel like I never have enough time. There are endless things to do. I'm always surprised by the impression that people have heard of Las Vegas is a place only for adults. I think there's something fun for people of all ages to experience within Sin City. You can eat at endless world class restaurants or buffets, shop till you drop at countless malls and outlet centers, watch plenty of spectacular shows or gamble across the various five-star casinos. You could visit museums, arcade arenas, sporting events, and concerts. You could spend all your money in one night or over five nights. There are no limits in this town.

Las Vegas pretty much feels like a second home to me. I know the city fairly well both inside and out. I'm not joking when I tell people I'd live in Vegas without hesitation. It's just a very special place for me. I've spent some of my fondest memories in life in Las Vegas. From birthday celebrations to family get-together events, I feel like I have been there for every occasion.

Despite the amount of time I have spent in Vegas, there are plenty of areas yet to be explored. I think its one of those cities that has a bucket list of things to do and then some. It's been great to look back on some of the memories I have tied to Vegas. I could not have thought of a better place to spend some of my days in this famous town.

It feels like I've become a local whenever I'm in town. Getting to know Las Vegas has been extremely useful. I constantly bump into people who've never been and are planning to go for the first time. This is where my inner tour guide unfolds and I dish out my recommendations. If you ever needed to talk about Vegas do not hesitate to reach out. I've had my fair share of episodes where the saying, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" gains its notorious reputation. What I enjoy about the city the most is the culture built around Las Vegas. It's a world of its own with all sorts of faces from all kinds of places. You literally come across each and every type of person. My perfect analogy for Sin City is it's like being in a "Where's Waldo" book. Everyone is there for the same purpose: to have a good time.

As life goes on I'm excited to see what other memories I can create with others in the city that I think truly never sleeps.

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?

sisters

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.
