What Vegas Taught Me

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 ;)

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.
