For the longest time, I have had the need to move, to travel, to just go somewhere and make a new city of my own. Well let me tell you, after moving my belongings to a new "home" each year, I have come to the realization that moving, in a way, is traveling.

I feel like the place I am in now let's me network and experience new places for the perfect amount of time. Being in a place for more than two weeks or even two months can have a lot of perks. And I know I won't be here for another four years to experience a college scene. This time, it's different and it's only one year. I love the idea of being able to enjoy the place I am living now. It's scary to be somewhere where I don't really know a familiar face, but that happens to everybody and everyone gets passed that fear.

Let me explain.

Moving from house to apartment to house again is a new adventure. You decorate your room, the house and acclimate yourself with new roommates, or in some cases, no roommates at all (snaps to those who get to lounge topless all the time in their living room). It's a new adventure and you learn more about yourself when moving somewhere that is new to you. It could be on the other side of town, which you have yet to explore before. It could be in a new city.

But, wherever you go, you constantly try to make that temporary place feel like your permanent home.

I say, enjoy the idea of living somewhere new. Even if you are there for a year or less. It's OK if it doesn't mimic your permanent, ideal home because, well, you know it's not going to. You will know when it's the right place to live long-term. Embrace the new sights to see and the different neighborhoods because I guarantee you will meet new people that may become stepping stones to somewhere greater. They may also become your best friends.

The beauty of it is you know you will be headed to a new city or sight soon. It's an adventure, so of course, there will be some bad days. There will be some amazing days. In the end, however, I think we can all agree that the good ones outweigh the bad, and that life is too short to not have the time of your life.

Make the most of your travels, my friends, whether they last a day or a year. It's definitely a life-changer. (Besides, the more you travel, the more Snapchat filters you can see.)
