Drop Everything And Start Living Life Today
Thousand Wonders

As we enter the new year of 2017 younger genertations are becoming more open to having those "once in a life time opportunities" than the newest and trending material goods. The millennial generation is opening their minds, and wallets to travel, concerts, protests, and all sorts of the endless amazing current events that the world has to offer. Personally as a millennial, and someone who has had a small bit of travel experience I highly suggest taking your funds and spending them on the trip of a life time. Last year on this exact day I was landing on the island of Oahu Hawaii, and had the experience of a life time. I realize that I am extremely privilaged to have gone on this trip, and I can honestly say that it had inspired my passion to see as much as the world as I possibly can.

If you have never been to Hawaii I highly suggest that you start to save for a trip, and catch the earliest flight that you possibly can. Hawaii was by far the trip of a life time for me (but im only 19 so hopeful for more), and I had gotten to experience the beauty of its small land mass with many of my good friends. Hawaii and its crystal blue waters, sunny blue skies, and beautiful flora leaves you in a state of pure euphoria which allows you to fully experience the island to your fullest. As you spend time in the lush island of Oahu you will encounter some of the happiest people that you will ever meet, and of course the famous juicy Hawaiian grown pineapple. Spending time in this enchanging state will leave you wanting more, and more while never failing to meet high expectations.

When spending time in this gorgeous tropical state make sure to spend more time experiencing the moments that you may never get back. Spending too much time behind a camera, or cell phone will distract you from being in the moment, and you will ultimatley miss the feeling of complete satisfaction. The United States is extremely diverse, and has much to offer, but unless you go out and experience what it is blessed with to make its boarders you miss out on the true American greatness. The short amount of time I had spent in Hawaii does not compare to any other experience that I have ever had. Travel allows you to want more, and allows for personal growth; allow yourself to experience your life by seeing what the world 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.
