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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
