Odysseus

               After choosing Aphrodite as the most beautiful goddess, Paris is promised the hand of Helen and thus is the beginning of the Trojan War. Fast forwarding to the end, the Greeks and Trojans had been fighting for forever and the Greeks couldn’t breach Troy’s walls and more and more people were dying and that wasn’t cool. Then Odysseus, being the cool cat he was, came up with a plan to trick the Trojans since brute strength couldn’t get the job done.  His plan was to build a magnificently awesome horse and offer it to the Trojans as a sign of surrender, but the horse would actually house Greeks who would then attack Troy from the inside. The Greeks left the beautiful wooden horse outside Troy’s walls and pretended to sail away. The silly Trojans were like “Hey. This is nice,” and carted the horse into the city. However, later in the night when everyone one was asleep, the Greeks sacked the city and thus brought the downfall of the mighty Trojan empire.

               My dream journey would be island hopping in Southeast Asia for a month or two. The beauty of the trip is that it would be super cheap, minus airfare. Currency conversion works in our favor over there, so hotels and food and souvenirs wouldn’t completely break the bank. Plus, it’s a warm spot to vacation at, so I could get some much needed Vitamin D while chillin’ on a beach and sippin’ on some freshly squeezed juice. There's nothing like the sound of the ocean to carry all of your worries away! The culture there is also very rich, so it would be fun to learn about all the history and what not of the region.
