Micah Guillermo, a sophomore meteorology major, plans to travel during summer.
Q: “What are your plans for summer break?”
A: “I have a lot of travel plans in just a few weeks actually. I’m gonna be heading to Atlanta for a little get together with some friends, and, got a lot of travel plans, afterwards it’ll be Pittsburgh in July. And I got a few other places in mind, but I just need to make sure everything’s planned before I say anything.
Q: “Have you been to any of those places before?”
A: “I have, Pittsburgh. I’ve been there a few times. I wanna say it’s been two to three times, and Atlanta, my first time was last year and it was a really nice time to be out there. It was nice outside. The hotel had a bunch of pool parties and whatnot, so just the usual summer activities and whatnot. So yeah, all around it’s going to be a good time. Just, hopefully no one does anything stupid because it’s summer, but I think people would know better than that.”
