Exploring The World Is Worth It

Take a moment to think what possibilities you can have traveling the world.

Exploring The World Is Worth It
John Victory

You often here the people exclaim how they would like to travel the world, yet don't have the time, the money or the resources. And, being a college student I know very well, that isn't as easy as some people portray it to be.

With that being said, it isn't exactly impossible. In fact, it's very possible, if you're patient. The past two years, also being my first two years of college, I've had the opportunity to experience phenomenal parts of the United States and I can't wait to continue that the older I get.

Though this story may have seemed as if it was heading in the direction of how to save a buck while venturing out in the world. It is not.

I'm writing this to talk about how maybe putting those thoughts in your ahead of "I can't" or "I want to, but I'm not able to" in the way back of your head.

Exploring the world is a great way to spend your days or some of them at least. One thing I've learned from exploring the world, is that you have never seen enough, even if you think you have.

From the spectacular sightings of a national park to a major metropolitan city, somewhere in the world, it's just never enough, but every place visited is worth the visit.

It's worth it because it's a break from reality, a major break. Once you're truly engulfed in the world, and set apart the responsibilities and the worries, just for a little, then you'll be amazed by what you experience. What you see and what you can do.

The animals, the cities, the mountains, the trees, greenery that's pretty much everywhere is breathtaking. Not to forget those amazing buildings that stand hundreds of thousands of feet in the air that basically crack your neck looking up at it.

So, take the time. Invest the money and forget the worries because traveling, exploring, it's all worth it

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.
