My nerves start to electrify as the realization sinks in that I am going to be in a different country in less than two hours. The minutes seem to drag on and on as I listen to the guy next to you snoring and the kid behind me kicks the back of my chair. The pilots’ rough voice comes on the intercom and says "Howdy folks‚ just wanna let you know that we are getting ready to land and we should be there in about ten short

Sulav Sharma TRIP TO SIX FLAGS I have always been fascinated by scary rides.

Caffeine Crazed! The thin mound of rewarding foam that separated my lips from that first sip of scorching hot coffee mimics a snow capped mountain that I could hold in the palm of my hand.

The burnt scent of roasted coffee tickled the tip of my nose just seconds before a noise so loud roared in my ear like a fire engine screaming through my bedroom. As I wiped the grit from last night’s sleep from the corners of my eyes‚ the bright light hit them. I slung my arm like an elephant trunk on top of the alarm to find the snooze button. I heard a faint voice in the background calling my name. "Kayla‚ are you up?" echoed down the stairs in the deep male voice of my dad. While stretching
