Response 2 Christopher Columbus first voyage was a discovery of different plant and animal species as he made multiple references about the beauty of San Salvador and its inhabitants.

1. There were a ton of majors that looked interesting from this lecture.

Christopher DeLorenzo addresses the best ways to cut in line in his article‚ “How to Cut in Line: A scientific approach”. He does highlight some good ways to get away with cutting the line‚ but this does not mean I agree with the idea of cutting.
