Visiting Ocean Park Was A Wild Ride, To Say The Least

Pandas, pandas, pandas!

Friends

The third Saturday of the month, we visited the Ocean Park which was located on Lantau Island, another island in Hong Kong.

The driver drove us to Disneyland, at first, which was the wrong way. After figuring out that we had to arrive there almost at noon. We were divided into different groups. My two friends and I went to see the pandas first which were shipped from Sichuan, a province in China. We waited on the line almost an hour and then got the access to go in. However, the panda was not willing to go outside of the hole. We then took a photo of its habitats and went out.

The weather was bad on that day. So it looks like the $60 ticket was not worthy. We met rain showers on the way to the wonderland. The wonderland consisted of many entertainments. My friends went to the roller coaster. The roller coaster was not exciting enough, honestly, and the Ocean Park looks like it was served for the children more than adults.

We took the underground Ocean train from the bottom of the mountain to the top. The Ocean train is built in somewhere inside the mountain. When we got on, a lot of people were on the train which made it very crowded. We could see many ocean images on the train televisions before getting off. And outside there was all dark.

We then walked around to see if anything interesting was happening. We saw some birds such as parrots and there was occasionally some rain pouring into the roads. We went into the indoor exhibitions. Surprisingly, we saw pandas again. It was very cute and it was leaning on a stone and fell asleep seemingly. We were happy to also see some precious birds in another place, and sea lions hiding somewhere under the waters.

However, because of the rains and the wet floors, my friends and I returned earlier in the afternoon. This trip was not that funny as previous. We enjoyed some marine animals, but nothing else except some machinery games.

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.

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.
