Thoughts You Have When Hiking

"Are we there yet?"

Thoughts You Have When Hiking
Natalie

This past week I went hiking on Table Rock. It's located in Pickens, South Carolina. The total mileage of hiking up and back down is 6.8. If it was a straight walk it wouldn't be so hard, but I've heard it's the most strenuous in South Carolina. Even though the view at the top was amazing, the whole time I'm thinking "Is this really worth it?". Especially since this was my second time hiking Table Rock, even though the first time I said I was never doing it again. But any way, plenty of thoughts went through my head this time.

Are We Almost There?

You think your kids ask this a lot when riding in the car...think again!

Can We Take A Break?

This happens about every 5 minutes..

How Sore Am I Going To Be Later?

Considering you're already hurting now, in a day or two it'll only be worse.

Is It Time To Eat?

I always have food with me, so of course I packed snacks. Which during that hike, I had like four slim jims, a pack of nuts, a bag of homemade trail mix, a sandwich, and an Oreo chocolate candy bar.

Did I Bring Enough Water?

I packed three water bottles and that was just barely enough for me.

I Thought I was Fit

That hike proved me wrong!

What If There Is A Snake?

Thankfully I never saw one, but my mom (who was a little behind with a few others) did but also thankfully nothing happened.

This Better Be Worth It

In my opinion, the pictures I got were definitely worth it.

I'm Never Doing This Again!

Yet, this was my second time. And I said it both times, which means I'll probably be right back there again.

I Can't Wait Till This Is All Over!

The best part was when I finally got to sleep!

At Least There's Some Cool Things

I saw a turtle that decided to roll down the mountain and huge mushrooms, which when busted open, changed colors in the matter of five seconds.


How Far Down Is It If I Fall?

That was probably my biggest fear...slipping and falling to my death.


I was hurting so much but it was one of the greatest experiences and adventures of my life. So try hiking at least once in your life!

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.
