European Travels
By Kevin Wehle

Over the summer, I got the amazing opportunity to travel abroad to Europe. I traveled with 35 other students from all over the country and 3 travel guides. Upon leaving on July 15th, I first landed in Athens, Greece and stayed in a small hotel there. I got to see the Parthenon and talk to the locals. After Athens, I traveled to a small island next to the mainland of Greece named Aegina. It was great there and the water was clear. A few of the people I traveled with stepped on sea urchins and had to go to the doctor. After the island I traveled to Italy and that’s where most of my stay took place. I went to Florence, Rome, Venice, Pisa, Assisi, and Pompeii to name a few. I saw David in Florence, statues of molten people in Pompeii, and took a canal ride in Venice. Assisi was kind of a detour, but it was beautiful, and we were able to dine up on a hill in isolation. After my touristy stays throughout Europe, I stayed with an Italian family in the small town of Pistoia and had tons of fun. After being with my family for a few days I took an overnight train to Paris, France and ended in the Gare De Lyon. In France I stayed mainly around Paris visiting the Palace of Versailles, going to the top of the Eiffel Tower and eating crepes in Montmartre. Overall, I learned so much about other cultures, and I would recommend traveling, whether it be as close as Canada or as far as Europe; you won’t ever regret it. I made memories I’ll forever remember; hopefully, you can too.

  Why the NFL Overtime rules should be changed sooner rather than later  By Demetrius Singletary      This past Sunday the Bills lost in overtime to the Chiefs and easily was a top 3 playoff game of all time. Josh Allen was having a perfect playoffs as he threw for 9 touchdowns, zero interceptions, and less than 15 total incompletions which is unreal for a Qb. The game itself was insane and the final score after regulation was 36-36. Both Quarterbacks (Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen) were having amazing games and there was an overtime period! But that’s where things start to get unfortunate for the Bills. To decide who starts with the ball first in overtime you do a coin flip and if you’re correct on your guess between heads or tails you can decide if you want to play offense or defense first (Almost all teams choose offense in this case). So the Chiefs won the coin flip and decided to get the ball first. If you were a bills fan you were probably worried because...
