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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
