Immigrating to Canada: A Descriptive Narrative of My Personal Experience
Immigration is a word that sometimes evokes controversy among certain groups of people or some countries. This controversy is usually due the political nature of the discussion the immigration subject brings forth. Some say immigration takes away jobs from native-born individuals, others say immigration boosts up the crime rate of the country while some even say immigrants don't pay taxes but considering this matter without understanding first the historical/economical background data available will lead you to a false conclusion.

Vienna, Austria
This past year I lived abroad as an au pair and travelled many places. Though everywhere I travelled to was incredible in its own way, Vienna, Austria, was one of my favorites. Traveling alone is a great experience that I would recommend to anyone if they feel comfortable, but meeting a travel buddy along the way is even better! On my bus ride from Prague to Vienna, I met a girl by the same name as me and we ended up making our way through Vienna together.

Hasta La Vista, Baby!
I got in my car this morning and it was 37 degrees Fahrenheit. I had my fuzzy pajama pants on, a hat, three jackets, some gloves, and a scarf on and I still managed to freeze on my way to and from my car. Do you know how disappointing it is for it to almost be March in Texas and not be a minimum of 60 degrees? It's almost as disappointing as the results of the election last year, but that's politics and I won't get into that. So now, as I sit here under multiple blankets writing this article, I am reminded that in a few, short weeks I will be flying "over the pond" to Europe! Where the weather may not be... significantly warmer, but it will be warmer than 37 degrees hopefully!

The Secrets of the Underground: The Waterloo and City Line
The Waterloo and City Line was opened in 1898 and runs between two stations, Waterloo and Bank. The line goes under the River Thames and it best serves commuters that are travelling between Waterloo and the City of London. The colour of the line is turquoise and there are roughly 9.6 million journeys made along the line each year. The Waterloo and City Line doesn’t operate late evenings or on a Sunday, but that wasn’t always the case as between 1943 and 1947 the line operated on a Sunday.
