6 Reasons Why You Should Go Outside Instead Of Going Out
Anna Grace Wyneken

Going out may seem like the convenient and cool thing to do when that’s what everyone you know is doing. But grabbing your friends or even heading outside yourself with nothing but some time is definitely the way to go. Get away from the norms of a boisterous night out, and focus on finding the beauty and simplicity of nature.

1. Get some fresh air.

It’s healthier to get outside and play. Breathe in fresh air with some close friends, instead of being crammed into a smelly apartment or bar with a bunch of random people.

2. The options are endless.

You can only do so many things at a party. Outside, there are tons of different things you can do.

3. Have a real conversation.

Nothing beats enjoying the company of your friends in an environment where you can actually hear what everyone is saying without yelling over the music.

4. Strengthen your relationships.

You can develop close bonds with whom you’re with by encouraging them to try new things and expand their horizons.

5. Have some time to yourself.

You can discover your quiet place. Have some time alone doing something creative or reading a book. Take some photos to remember the day, or just sit there and absorb everything you can.

6. The awe of Mother Nature.

Being outside will make you feel wonderful. There is so much beauty in the world that is often missed due to people never taking a moment to experience it all.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.
