    I rode the bus every day in middle school and would interact with a few people who also lived in my neighborhood. They were in no way my friends, but the circumstances had left us stuck on a bus for 30 minutes with a different group of students who normally wouldn't interact. One girl was very religious and we would eventually ease into a logical debate about religion. Every afternoon as we rode from the school into our old neighborhood. I am a very confrontational person, and when I feel as if…

It wasn't a major problem, just a minor inconvenience at best. The main reason I took this specific route was to save some minutes sleeping in the early mornings, but I digress.

    One week. Seven days. Six nights. One hundred sixty-eight hours. This was the amount of time I was supposed to spend in the middle of the dense forestry of Algonquin Park, with only a map, a compass, and nine other girls. As I rode the bus to the drop off point, I felt none of the excitement and giddiness everyone else seemed to be feeling. I had no desire to sing songs or play the alphabet game. The only thought occupying my distressed brain was the absolute terror that I had grown accustomed…

I was in college full-time and working part-time at a mall that was about 30 minutes away by car, but took me three times that by bus and trolley. I would sometimes have to walk the two miles from the trolley station to my house, which included walking uphill, downhill, and across two freeway entrances.

    doubtful, the price was low, about $100.00 per night, which ultimately was the deciding factor to stay there. On top of all that it was not in central London. For a first time traveler abroad this was worrisome, as I had no idea how to operate the bus system, nor was I sure I wanted to. Despite any preconceived notion I had regarding this hotel, the price combined with the surprisingly high ratings led to the booking of a weeklong stay. After having completed this stay, it remains one of the…

The county itself is drastically different from the KC Metro area because it is known to be a very affluent area, especially the south half of Johnson county. Overland Park itself is one of the highest priced living areas. I chose this location one…
