27 Thoughts All Hikers Have While They're On The Trail
Marian Pollock

Hiking is a way to get away from the hustle and bustle of life chaos of life. The best feeling in the world is being the only person on the trail, but sometimes we don't get so lucky and other mountain lovers share the trail in passing.

If you have hiked at all, whether it be an easy trail or The Devil's Path, you have probably thought most of these things.

1. "What was that noise? It's a bear, I know it. I am not equipped to handle this. Goodbye cruel world."

2. "Oh it's people, right."

3. "Oh God, it's people."

4. "I am sweating so much, I look crazy."

5. "They aren't even sweating, they are completely judging me."

6. "I'm in shape I swear."

7. "Okay not really but still, I HIKE."

8. "Do I look at them? I should smile. I'm a nice hiker, they gotta know I'm friendly."

9. "They must hike a lot, they have huge packs."

10. "I must look so inexperienced."

11. "Oh they are so nice they said hello first."

12. "They probably hate me now, I should have said hello first."

13. "I guess the object of walking up the mountain isn't really to have the best social skills, oh well."

14. "SQUIRREL!"

15. "Wait, that's a chipmunk."

16. "No bears yet, it's a good day."

17. "I know I'm on the right trail, but still am I on the right trail?"

18. "This is totally the top get ready for the view."

19. "Okay, how is this not the top I've been out here for FOREVER."

20. "I'm starving."

21. "I packed way too heavy today, at least the more water I drink the lighter it gets. Hydrate!!"

22. "Why am I still going up hill, how tall is this mountain??"

23. "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, there's a clearing up ahead."

24. "IT'S THE TOP!"

25. "This is so pretty, how did I even get up here?"

26. "Oh right, I WALKED."

27. "I love the earth, look at this."

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.
