The biggest mistake I ever made was to start college in FEH engineering. This ruined my GPA and made for some shitty quarters. But, thankfully I am now out of that major and am undecided. I am much happier in my life now that I am not failing physics tests every other week and worrying about what the hell int main means in terms of programming. Another mistake I have made is not going back to Rome yet. When I was in 6th grade my family and I took a trip to the awesome city of Rome. We were currently living in the town of Harpenden in England at the time, so it was a short flight to the Italian capitol. It was around the time of Thanksgiving, and was our first of that holiday overseas. The country of England did not celebrate the holiday for obvious reasons, so my parents wanted to celebrate it in our own way. The city of Rome can be described only as incredible. The architecture is beautiful, old, and historic. The thought that almost every building in that city is older than the majority of the dwellings in the United States is crazy. Each block we explored was deeply intertwined in history. We walked at least ten miles each of the four days we were there. We walked to the jaw dropping coliseum, the impressive Roman forum, the amazing Pantheon in the heart of Rome and many other places around the city. We also entered the Vatican City and saw Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel, a striking experience. While all this was amazing, the very best aspect of Rome was the food. The food was insanely delicious.
Oh my gosh! Rome is an amazing city. I cannot wait till get to go back!
ReplyDeleteI remember going to Rome on a school trip a few years back. Even though I was really sick with a cold, it was by far the best trip I have ever taken in my entire life. And the food was awesome- I ate as much pizza and gelato as I possibly could!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to see Rome, it would be an incredible feeling just to be there where so much history has gone down.
ReplyDeleteRome would be so amazing to go to. I want to backpack across Europe someday.
ReplyDeleteHaha welcome to exploration my friend. I remember at engineering orientation, they said, "say goodbye to everything you love to do." I quickly exited that major as well
ReplyDeleteReece, as you know Engineering is the source of all evil in terms of having a good time. The only issue is that it's such a damn good job. It's tough to decide.
ReplyDeleteLisa, do you think you will go back sometime soon? I loved it. I really would like to return someday.
ReplyDeleteRichard, I still dream about the gelato. And the pizza was too good to be in my dreams. I feel as though whatever I eat nowadays is nowhere near as good as the food in Rome.
ReplyDeleteAbe, the history there is so sick. The Coliseum, the Roman Forum, it's incredible to stand where you know so much has happened that is so important to human history.
ReplyDeleteMatt, I have definitely considered backpacking across Europe. I think I will wait until I am a bit older though.
ReplyDeleteI heard the FEH program was really tough. I would like to go to Rome too. I want to visit Europe and see the different countries.
ReplyDeleteEngineering is very difficult I switched to business and am very happy with it
ReplyDeletehaha that is true Gus, engineering is a great if you dont want any free time. your blog is probably the most commented on in the class, how are you handling all this attention?
