China's Ice And Snow World Is Something Of A Dream
https://d.ibtimes.co.uk

China's Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival is the largest festival of its kind. Each year, visitors come from all over the globe to enjoy the festival's most popular attraction: Ice and Snow World. The seemingly-surreal 'world' is filled with sculptures of all sorts. According to the festival's website, the annual winter extravaganza requires more than 10,000 workers, covers more than 750,000 square meters of land, uses more than 300,000 cubic meters of ice and snow, and attracts 10 to 15 million visitors.

The sculptures of Ice and Snow World are larger than life. These amazing creations are thought up by sculptors from all over the world. Some even stand at 150 feet tall!


The event's buildings, pathways and structures are just as impressive as the sculptures. As the sun goes down, millions of ice blocks are illuminated by bright lights that make the festival feel almost like a fairytale.

Not only is the scenery pretty, but it's fun as well! Visitors are free to run, jump, explore, climb and slide through the many obstacles, stairs, mazes and playgrounds.


2017's festivities kicked off this past January 5 and continue until February 25. So if anyone is looking to do some traveling this snowy season, take a trip to Harbin, China. This winter wonderland is not one to miss!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
