5 Places You Have To Go When You Visit Vermont
Hunter House

I recently had the pleasure of going to visit my best friend in Vermont!

Every single thing in Vermont is beautiful and there are so many adventures you can take so here are a few places you have to check out while you are there.

1. Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Factory

The Ben and Jerry's ice cream factory was one of my absolute favorite locations! I love ice cream so much and Ben and Jerry's is obviously the superior brand over others. It was so cool to see how the ice cream was made and all of the complexities that go behind making producing it and the flavor making process. There is even a little graveyard in the back with all the past flavors that have been discontinued. It really is such a fun time for all!

2. Rum Runner's Hideaway

For this one I would suggest going during a warmer day where you know you can have some fun in the sun. This is a place where you can get in some pool floats and swim around in the lake while looking at a beautiful scenic view. There are plenty of different things to do in the water such as paddle boarding and water trampolines! You will have endless fun at Rum Runner's Hideaway.

3. Stowe Mountainside

There are plenty of places to hike and look at the beautiful mountainside landscape. One of my favorites though had to be the lush green mountainside in Stowe, Vermont. It was an incredible hike and we even found some rocky caves to take our fake band cover album art.

4. Trapp Family Lodge

If you are a huge fan of The Sound Of Music then you have to see where the movie location was based off of. This is a beautiful lodge that the Von Trapp Family Lodge is based off of. On the other side there is a beautiful view that you will never forget! This is a must see location!

5. Downtown Burlington Vermont

Downtown Burlington Vermont is full of good shopping and good eats. I added a picture of one of my favorite spots that I saw while I was visiting there which had to be this incredibly detailed mural. I stood there and stared at all the historical and pop culture references for s long that my friends were begging to leave. It truly is a sight to see. Other than that the rest of downtown Burlington is so much fun!

In conclusion, everyone needs to visit Vermont at least once or if you are already planning a trip try to find some time to stop at at least one of these great stops.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
