Why You Should Be Going On Picnics | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

We don't all live in areas where the weather is ideal for a picnic all year round. However, once summer rolls around it's fair game for one. A picnic is the best last minute plan if you really don't know what to do with your friends, boyfriend, girlfriend, or family! It is so simple, yet so much fun with the right people.

I used to go on picnics all the time with my family. They would mostly be when we would go bike riding. We are all grown up now and in many different places so family picnics aren't really in the picture anymore. With that being said, if most everyone in your family is in one spot, go on some picnics! If you aren't into that kind of family stuff, invite your friends. If they think it's lame, get new friends. It is the least lame thing with the right people.

If you are on a picnic with someone and you aren't having fun, you are with the wrong person or people. The first picnic I had with my boyfriend was the time of my life. I loved sitting there drinking Caprisuns and eating Scooby Doo gummies. We even went on a picnic for our one year anniversary. I wish we would think to go on more when we're together.

Picnics don't really come to mind very often for everyone, but maybe they should. It is such an inexpensive thing. You don't need to buy any food if you have some good things at home. Sure, it might be boring eating things from your house, but driving to a park, sitting on a blanket, and eating it there makes it so much better. You can literally bring whatever your heart pleases. If you just want some McDonald's, then, by all means, get some fries from the drive-through and head to the park.

You are able to enjoy so many things on picnics. You are able to really enjoy the person you're with and enjoy all the beautiful things around you. Whatever those things may be, there is no better way to enjoy them than a picnic.

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.
