I Tried The Randonauting TikTok Trend

I went Randonauting so you don't have to.

If you are addicted to TikTok like me, you may have heard of the app Randonautica. If not, it's an app that gives you random coordinates, and you are supposed to focus on an intention before going. You're meant to find something relevant to your intention, whether or not it's exactly what you envision. I first heard about Randonauting from a TikTok that showed a group of friends discovering human remains while on their adventure.

I thought the concept was bit far-fetched, so I decided to try it myself. My friends and I set out on our Randonauting adventure with the plan to visit three points with different intentions.

1) Something crazy

Our first intention to see something crazy took us about 10 minutes away. We didn't see anything peculiar on our drive there, and the coordinates ended up being a residential street. Once we analyzed the houses surrounding us, we came to the conclusion that it was a completely ordinary street. So unfortunately, attempt number one was a fail.

2) Money

We really hoped the app wouldn't fail us this time around. I imagined us at least finding a $20 bill on the ground. The coordinates took us to another residential street, but this time our destination was a nice house on the water. My friend got out of the car and searched for money, but there was no luck. We decided that the house we'd arrived at was worth a lot of money, so maybe we could justify the destination this time.

3) Something meaningful

For our final attempt at Randonauting, we wanted to make it worth our while. The app ended up sending us down the block from my house this time around. When we arrived at the supposedly meaningful destination, we saw a bunch of trash on the side of the road. We decided to assume there was nothing meaningful in the trash to spare ourselves from going through it. But I mean, one man's trash is another man's treasure, right?

So, do you need to go Randonauting? I wouldn't say it's a must-try activity for your summer, but it is definitely something interesting to do if you're bored. Even if it doesn't work, Randonauting still gets you to explore places you may have never seen otherwise.

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.
