Why Adventures Aren't Just For The Weekends

Take a Thursday night with your roommate and go listen to a band at your local coffee shop.

Why Adventures Aren't Just For The Weekends
Julia Jorns

With all of our busy lives, it's easy to say, "I'll just wait till the weekend," when someone asks us to do something with them. Weekends are seen as an easy time to plan fun events and trips. But why are we always waiting till the weekend?

If you want to do something awesome, exciting, and fun, you can do that any day of the week! I know that in college it's easy to get wrapped up in assignments, work, and club meetings throughout the week. But what if we all took a day and did something we would normally put off until the weekend for?

My freshman year of college, one of my roommates and I made an event out of going to see a band at a local coffee shop. This wasn't a big event by any means that took weeks or months of planning. She found the event through social media and we decided it would be a fun time to hang out.

College is all about making memories and finding your lifelong friends. Yes, we need to keep up with our studies and class assignments. But we also have to remember we're only in college for a short time.

Do you want to look back on your college experiences and say all you ever did was study every school night and never took a few hours to spend with your roommate? I know that I want to look back and say that I was a good student, but that I also didn't let that dictate my whole college career.

Who knows, you might get to listen to a cool band that you had never heard of before. They might even become one of your favorites. Then the next time they're in town, the lead singer remembers you and signs one of their band stickers for you and is more than happy to take a picture.

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.
