Why Salt Lake Is Not What It Seems

People might say that Salt Lake City is a beautiful, incredible, place. I do not exactly agree with them. I went during fencing nationals a week ago. Salt Lake City itself has nothing to do with fencing nationals. The actual trip composed of much going wrong, but we ended up getting plenty of free things, and I had fun.

It all started when we arrived at about 12 AM on a Saturday. When we went to get our rental car, we realized that our car was supposed to be picked up at 8, not midnight, and they were out of our size. After a lot of discussing, they told us they would give us an upgrade for the car. It was much nicer and we had a lot of room to fit our many bags for a five-day trip... MORE...

I am here to go to fencing nationals, where people from around the country come to the final championship event of the year. MORE...

Theater Hikes Chicago Midsummer Night Dream

Making Shakespeare Accessible

The one thing I hate about the summer is the homework. This year, we had to go to a play for extra credit written by some guy named William Shakespeare (I know, harsh, right?). He is supposed to be a famous guy from the 1600s, but all I knew was that he was British (plus) but wrote love stories (minus). MORE...

    There is More to DC than Revolutionary History

                    When I went to DC, I thought of it as a place to learn about history from the US, like the Revolution and Civil Wars (boring!). When I went there though, I saw that it...
