What Vegas Taught Me

"Las Vegas is a 24-hour city. It never stops."

What Vegas Taught Me

Reflecting on the weekend that I had, I have learned some new life lessons, thanks to Las Vegas and my best friends. I spent Wednesday though Sunday in Nevada and I came to find out that the city is not for me. Large crowds, and half naked people make me nervous and overwhelmed. I wanted to write this article to reflect and share some of the memories with friends and family about my trip, so here it is:

1. I turned 21 last week, and I feel no different other than the fact that I can LEGALLY drink! I still feel like a teenager who is trying to find their place in life.

2. I saw a lot of strange people. From Elvis, to a naked 78 year old man dressed as a baby, strange.3. I zip-lined through Fremont Street, and I found out that I love heights even more than I thought. Next time I go, I want to zip-line from the Rio Hotel, which is 50 stories tall :)

4. I don't like to gamble. I gambled on the way home from the airport and lost five dollars. I felt sad that I will never get those five dollars back, ever again.

5. There are so many beautiful buildings in Vegas. My favorite was inside the Bellagio Resort with all of the flowers and sculptures.

6. Being in Vegas during night time is very different than being in Vegas during the day. Waking up and looking outside to see the desert is very contradicting because at night, the state is nothing but a huge party.

7. My moms and her friends are the funniest people alive, along with Hayley of course. I have never laughed so hard in my life until I was with these woman! Thanks again for great trip. P.S. They can still party, trust me.

8. A man free styled about me and it was one of my favorite memories of the trip.

9. No matter what type of shoes you wear, your feet will always end up hurting.

10. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas is a real saying ;)

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

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!
