On Saturday, I went back to the International Festival and worked from 9-1. As some other classmates already discussed in their posts, the marathon made it almost impossible to get to the fairgrounds from campus. We seemed to keep having to backtrack and were wondering if we would ever make it to the festival. Luckily, …

The Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam, when once in their lives, each Muslim should try and be apart of the annual trip to Mecca. The documentary we watched for Thursday’s class followed an ABC reporter through his journey as …
So yeah, let’s talk about attention to detail yet again. Before Maddie and Pat picked me up on Saturday afternoon to head over to the festival, I was checking social media and saw one of my favorite local restaurants post a photo with a witty caption in regards to the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon. I liked …
