My Best Friend And I Went To Vegas And I Had The Time Of My Life

This is definitely a trip that everyone needs to make ASAP.

My Best Friend And I Went To Vegas And I Had The Time Of My Life
Kaylee Clever

Over the memorial day week, my best friend and I traveled to Las Vegas, and let me tell you, this was such an unforgettable trip. We stayed for three days and two nights, and I seriously did not want to leave to go home. This is definitely a trip that everyone needs to make once in their life, as soon as possible.

Our vacation to Las Vegas flew by so fast, but we definitely made memories that we will never forget. It was such an adventure and I’m so glad she was by my side to experience my first ever trip to Las Vegas.

We landed on a Tuesday morning and left on a Thursday night, so we wanted to make the most of our vacation time there. One piece of advice that we were given by countless people was, “Don’t sleep. It’s a waste of your time.” This is so true since there is so much to do, you definitely want to make every minute count. I’d like to think that we made the most of our trip, since, thanks to my Fitbit, I learned that in three days we walked 32 miles. We had early mornings and late nights to take complete advantage of our time in Vegas. And man, did we have a good time.

If I could suggest the top five things we did on our trip, they would be…

1. Go to a nightclub

We went to Omnia nightclub located inside of Caesar’s Palace and it was so amazing. The atmosphere was INCREDIBLE. P.S.: Drinks are EXPENSIVE, like, $21 a drink expensive.

2. See a show!

We were lucky enough to get Magic Mike tickets before they were sold out. Seeing Magic Mike in Las Vegas was something we will NEVER forget! And no, it’s not a strip show. It’s a bunch of wildly muscular men who dance better than any woman I’ve ever met. And did I mention it’s produced by Channing Tatum? Kinda salty he didn’t make a guest appearance though…

3. Eat at In-N-Out

Especially if you’re from the Midwest like me. It’s so good. But IMO, skip the fries. Not worth it.

4. Go zip lining

Slotzilla Zip Line is located at the Fremont Street Experience; you have the option to either sit on your butt (zip line) or lay on your stomach (zoom line) across Fremont Street. I’ve never ziplined before but it was definitely a thrill that I’ll be chasing from now on!

5. Stay out all night

There’s ALWAYS something to do. You’re in Las Vegas, damn it! The strip is just as busy late at night as it is in the middle of the day. Make use of that time there because before you know it you’ll be back at home, wishing you were back in the Vegas sun.

If you have the opportunity to go to Las Vegas, take it. I know a lot of people think that it’s too hot, but it’s really not. The weather was in the high 90s every day, and there was never a day where I was drenched in sweat or wishing I wasn’t outside. We spent every second outside and soaked up as much sun as possible. The heat is so much different than a Midwestern heat (like I’m used too). You really will have the best hair days of your life since there’s no humidity to cause your hair to frizz up. As long as you stay hydrated, you’ll be fine! I just got home from Vegas and I already want to go back!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
