Have you ever heard someone come back from traveling the world and say "Wow, I wish i just stayed home, my trip was boring." NO! It simply doesn't happen. Everyone loves to travel and if you think otherwise, here are 10 reasons why you should broaden your horizons?

1. Scenery/Nature

Aren't you bored of the same trees, the same bushes, the same roads? It's time to see new trees, new bushes, new roads!

2. Food

Trying new food has to be one of the most exciting (or, if you're like me, scariest) experiences EVER. Realizing you are absolutely in love with the new food? AMAZING!

3. New views

Growing up in the United States, we are privy to a very unique culture that does not exist anywhere else. Traveling to other countries makes you realize just how different the world is.

4. Understanding of other cultures

Other cultures are vastly different than our own- for example, in India, cows are considered sacred and would never in a million years be used for food. In America, most people eat cows every day.

5. Adventure

You can do things you've never done before! You can go mountain-climbing for your first time, you can visit historical castles, you can do just about anything!

6. Reflection on own Life

Most people living in the United States enjoy a privilege quite unlike anywhere else in the world. Traveling to impoverished countries really helps us realize the privilege that we have by living in the "Land of the Free".

7. Finding the unknown

There are so many parts of this Earth that have yet to be found- go find one!

8. Life is short

You never know when your last trip will be your last.

9. Personal growth

Sometimes you just need an escape from everything so you can find yourself.

10. VACATION!

Let's be real, sometimes it's just fun to get away!

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
