8 Things I Adore About Nature

In This Article:

Ever since I was a little kid I have always enjoyed being out in nature, whether it was my backyard or going on hikes. Being in nature is where I felt at home.

The Quietness

Giphy

I know some describe the silence between city life and nature can be eerie. However, it is strangely satisfying for me. It allows me to take a moment to breathe and listen to what the Earth has to say. Rather than hearing people yell, honk horns, or sell merchandise. I feel that I can take a moment to actually sit there and listen to not only nature but myself.

"Damn Nature, You Scary"

Giphy

Yes, nature may seem to be scary, but that is the most wonderful part about it. It's scary but very surprising. It allows for things to shock you and keep you on your toes. To keep that human instinct of agility on point.

The Difference Between City and Nature

Giphy

When going on hiking trips into the deep forest it still amazes me the difference between city life and nature. How pollution in all forms seems nonexistent. To see the power of nature and how it can control every aspect of the forest or area.

My Love For Nature Photography

Being nature photography I guess I automatically have a passion for nature. But hey, what is more, beautiful than a rising sun on a crisp morning with the birds tweeting while you sit there for a perfect shot.

Relaxing

Giphy

Being in nature allows you to just be one with yourself. No, artificial sounds being produced around you. Just you and nature. Who doesn't need a one on one talk with mother nature sometimes?

Uncharted Territory

Giphy

Nothing is more exciting than seeing something new or getting something new. Same thing goings with nature. Being able to see something that you haven't seen before or haven't experienced before is amazing. It allows your adrenalin to start pumping fast, therefore making you even more amazed by the new experience. Making it more memorable.

The Views

Giphy

I am a sucker for a good view. Nothing is more breathtaking than being in nature and seeing a gorgeous waterfall or cliff that peers off to a mountainous landscape. Being in that moment really lets you understand the beauty of the world around us that seems the be hidden behind technology screens.

A Strange Feeling

Giphy

This just may be me. However, when I am alone walking in nature (not just in a park, but deep in the woods.) I feel as if I am human. That I am not some robotic being that lives by a schedule in an everyday life. I feel as if I have found my home. Where I belong. Where I can see no towering skyscraper in sight, just the towering oak trees, and furs at my feet making my ankles tickle. I feel as if I finally belong and not some everyday outcast.

As the world around us evolves with new technology and high tech advancements, let us not forget the original technology that was our first teachers. Nature.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
