Reasons Why I Love To Travel
Sarah Bendekovits

Traveling is something so many people do throughout the year, and it is something to look forward to. I have been traveling since I was little, and it has become something I love to do. When someone asks me my favorite vacation, I find it hard to answer. I love every place I visit.

This is why I love to travel:

The views are breathtaking. I went to Alaska last summer, and looking out in the ocean and seeing glaciers was amazing. We don't have the opportunity to see this around us back home. Being on a cruise and going out on deck when the sun is setting is another view I will never forget.

Traveling brings happiness. When I travel I am always so happy and smiley. With all the fun and relaxing things you're doing, how could you not? Whenever vacation is over I find myself wanting it to begin all over again.

Traveling memories are some memories I will never forget. So many of my memories throughout my life are made when on vacation. Last year, when I went to Disney, there was this one ride my sister and I rode a million times. We laughed so hard because of how many times we went on this one ride. I was also hypnotized once when I was on a cruise, it was such a fun time. Both of these are memories I will never forget.

Traveling gives you a new perspective. When you go on a cruise, you don't have reception. So for this week, I can't talk to my friends, which makes me miss them and appreciate them more. Also, being in a place you've never been to before, with just your family or friends, makes you appreciate what you have and where you are a lot more. Sometimes my biggest decisions have been made when I'm on vacation.

It gives you something to look forward to. Even when vacation is a year away, I have a countdown going. The night before vacation I can't sleep just because I'm so excited to go. A week or two before, if I'm stressed out, I know it will all be fine because vacation is approaching soon.

You get to experience a new culture. There are places I've traveled to where they speak a different language, they eat different types of food or they're environment is different. It's cool to experience something that we aren't used. My nana and sister tried snail on a cruise once, that's something they normally wouldn't do in Pennsylvania.

Tons of souvenirs. Who doesn't like to bring home tons of stuff from vacations?! Being on vacation gives you a great excuse to spend because you won't find this stuff at home.

I love traveling so much. Whenever one vacation is over I'm already asking about the next one. There are so many more places I want to go around the world. I have traveled to many places from Disney, to Hawaii and even Alaska. But there are still so many more places I want to go and I can't wait. Traveling has become a big part of my life and I love 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.
