8 Signs You Have The Travel Bug

You desire adventure and travel and wanderlust but at this point in time, you're stuck with actual grown up responsibilities.

Well, we're barely past the first two months of school, and you are already searching for a way to escape all of your homework and responsibilities. You frequently find yourself day dreaming about where you can visit next, without acknowledging the fact that it actually costs money to travel and you should probably start saving money if you ever want to go anywhere (something a responsible adult would do). It's hard to be restrained to the daily routine of things but you know at some point when you're married to someone ridiculously good looking and you're both tremendously successful, you won't have a care in the world and will be able to put your courageous ideas to the test. But until then, you'll have to continue the difficulties of sleepless nights and finding motivation to finish that degree of yours.


1. You are constantly looking at airline tickets online instead of studying

You can't help but wonder where you could squeeze in a quick weekend get away into your schedule. You'd rather be literally anywhere but in the library finishing a paper.

2. You already know all the airline policies and guidelines

Southwest, United, and American Airlines are already bookmarked on your computer. This isn't your first rodeo, so you know how to get the best air fare deals when it comes to flying.

3. You try to convince your friends to play hookie with you

Its only logical that you persuade your best friends to go with you, and by persuade, I mean force them to go with you. Then you can be adventurous and wild with them right by your side.

4. Your parents get mad when you spontaneously book a trip without telling them

Oops. Sorry not sorry, mom and dad. The only sensible excuse is that you're young and will never have this much free time on your hands. You simply cannot be tamed.

5. You accidentally book a trip before paying your bills

This is when the idea of having to be a responsible adult doesn't really set in until after the fact. The deed is done, so there's really no going back at this point.

6. You have the entire trip planned out in your head before it's decided that you're definitely going

Once the seed is planted, there is no changing your mind. Your persistent and committed to making it happen, no matter what lengths you have to go to.

7. You start looking at a map to conquer the places you've never been to before and realize there are endless possibilities

You suddenly get giddy and feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Your risky side is just dying to come out and you're about to let it all be unleashed.

8. You've already spent countless hours on Pinterest picking out places to eat, shop, drink, and explore

You'll already feel a native once you step off the plane. It'll be like you've lived there your whole life, you know the city like the back of your hand.


We all have the itch to travel at some point, and it may hit some of us harder than others. But who can blame you? Who wouldn't want to travel the world and see all the magical places this earth has to offer?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
