All The Places I Want To Go By Norah Monaghan

-
I recently decided I need a vacation. I've been stuck at my house almost three months now, and I want a change of scenery. I've decided that I should make a list of some places that I would want to go, if I was able to (I love the beach, so they're all beaches haha).


1. Lake Tahoe
I really want to go to Lake Tahoe. There's so many fun activities to do there year round. In summer there's jet skiing, parasailing, paddle boarding, and hiking are just a few. In the winter there's normal skiing, snowmobile tours, and snow tubing. The lake is gorgeous and perfect for swimming. There's plenty of stores to shop too.





2. The Maldives
The Maldives looks like the perfect place for a vacation. The over-water-villas look so fun, so I really want to stay in one at some point. You can also have dinner under the ocean in the Maldives. One restaurant, named Ithaa is located 16 feet below sea level and is made up of glass walls. As you eat, you can watch the marine life swim by. If dining under water isn't really your thing, there's also restaurants located on top of the water too! Overall, the Maldives seem like such a fun place to visit and I really want to take a trip there.

3. Hawaii
Hawaii is definitely somewhere I'd like to go someday. Some of the activities to do in Hawaii are snorkeling with wild dolphins,  whale watching cruises, and helicopter tours. There's also historic sights to visit there like the USS Arizona memorial. The islands are stunning with their flowers, wild life, and beaches. The temperature is warm year round, so you could go there anytime of year. Hawaii is definitely worth the long plane ride.

    Being home makes me think of where I'd like to travel too!

Not Fate, Just a Coincidence - Sila Paniker

The idea of fate confuses me. I don't really understand how something will happen no matter what you do. It just seems very unlikely. I think we're constantly making choices that lead to occurrences. We make so many decisions a day that it seems impossible that fate can find a way around it all.  Awhile ago, I saw something called the Butterfly Effect, which doesn't exactly relate to fate but it makes sense to me. The idea is that a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a tornado on the other side of the world. Essentially, small changes can have large impacts. In my head, this connects with the thousands of tiny decisions we subconsciously make each day. There are people I've met or things that have happened and it feels like it was meant to be but they're just a bunch of coincidences that had the ability to change everything. Thinking about it, there are reasons that can explain everything. For example, I met one of my closest friends a few years ago a

Grace vs. the Tortoise - by Grace McDonough

I haven't formed my thoughts about this school year yet because it's only the second day but my first day was straight fire. I got to reunite with the friends and meet my teachers and all the good stuff but I did burst into tears after school because I realized that I do actually have to go back every day. Not mentally prepared yet. I may have also just started sobbing because I woke up at 5:30 a.m. but I'm sure I'll have worse states of delirium as the year progresses. In all honesty, every first day of school has been the same for me since I became a sentient being somewhere around the second grade. All of the teachers ask if I'm related to my siblings who graduated long before me and have apparently left a legacy for me to fulfill. It does get a bit stressful, considering how my new teachers might adjust to me just not being as funny or creative or talented as my older brother and sister. School does have it's charming though. I desperately wanted summer to l

Goodbye 2010s - Grace McDonough

After a bit of pondering on what story I should put on display for the topic of creative writing, I realized that my idea bank is completely dry. So, as they say, write from experience! The holidays are fast approaching, as they always are and with it, a new decade. 2020. That's a big one. When we look back in time, it seems as if everything gets classified by the decade. The '70s are groovy, the '80s are colorful, the '90s are... slimy? All I can think of is Moon Shoes and Nickelodeon-gak. And Rugrats. For some reason, our culture has always been obsessed with nostalgia. The kids that got inspired grew up, and they draw from their childhood, which then inspires the next generation, who writes about their childhood and so forth. For us, that means our generation is going to reflect on the 2010s when we're our parents' age, just the same way they talk about the '80s. It's scary but it's true. Instead of comic books and magazines, we'll be
