We got to luge down a mountain (some of my friends went bungee jumping, definitely not my style) and we went hiking among snow and WILD cliff-climbing goats. Queenstown is known as the adventure capital of the world, and it definitely didn&#8217;t disappoint. We got to eat some great burgers, a 3 foot pizza (don&#8217;t ask), explore the quaint little town, look upon a beautiful glacial lake, and make some amazing memories. I&#8217;m sad we only got 2 days here, but it was definitely enough to see the town (could&#8217;ve done with some more hikes though).<\/p>\n<p>I constantly find myself wondering if this whole experience is real or not. It&#8217;s been hard to stay positive lately. Amid rain and cold weather, I&#8217;ve gotten sick and haven&#8217;t been able to get outside lately. It&#8217;s finally&nbsp;60 degrees outside and sunny for the first time in what seems like forever, &nbsp;and I&#8217;m stuck inside, missing lectures catching up on Netflix, and telling myself that Spring Break is just around the corner!<\/p>\n<p>10 of my closest friends (all from TEAN) are going on a South Island road trip! I am so excited to be able to see the South Island with some great people. It&#8217;s going to be nice to travel again. It can be hard to travel on the weekends here because of weather and the distance of everything. But, now that we have a whole week I will definitely make the most of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Queenstown was incredible!!
