Yesterday, I had the opportunity to spend the day at the American Museum of Natural History with amazing friends! As I arrived to one of the entrances to the museum, Nicholas, Aidan, and I were greeted by a short line outside… and then a surprisingly lengthy line that zig-zagged back and forth towards the check-in counters that we were on for a good hour. Surprisingly, Rackle and Sam were waiting for us right by the other side. As Aidan’s face expression describes, I was wondering what I was doing here so early. Then as Nick’s expression shows, I thought to myself “yeah.. I guess it wasn’t that bad at all.” This trip here was quite educational for all of us, and this really isn’t a sarcastic statement or a statement to make it seem like we are just doing this because we want to pass our Freshman Seminar! My favorite part of this museum was the Biodiversity Exhibit; filled with various replicas and preserved bodies of various species of mammals, fish, crustaceans, birds, amphibians- practically anything you can think of. The coolest part was the large whale that was displayed in a big room with information and replicas of various fish species from colder water areas like the Southern Oceans. I have always been fascinated with animals, especially marine life, so seeing and reading about so many species was a fun experience and something fun to learn!
