To The Adrenaline Junkies Who Love Adventuring

For those who love to live life in the clouds, or just hike up to them.

To The Adrenaline Junkies Who Love Adventuring
Campbell Scheuerman

Adventuring is important for everyone, not just those with a wandering soul or wanderlust.

Adventuring by definition is “An exciting and remarkable experience” according to the online Merriam-Webster dictionary. My definition of adventure is closer to one of the unknown outcomes and memorable stories. Adventuring with friends is always an excellent decision. Hiking to the top of a mountain becomes infinitely better when you have someone to share in reveling in the beauty of the peak.

The satisfying feeling of accomplishment is achieved only when you did not know how it was going to end. There’s a reason people are adrenaline junkies and nature freaks. There’s a primordial instinct almost to go out and just be in nature. It’s a pull that not everyone feels, but for those who do it’s almost indescribable. The mortality that settles over you when you realize how old and grand the Grand Canyons really are helps with one’s sense of humanity. The rush of exhilaration when going through a rapid is tremendous, intense and extreme. There is a split second where you do not know whether or not you’re going to flip out of the raft but the sense of relief when you don’t is magnified by a thousand times. Scaling cliffs at high tide with the ocean threatening to lap you up in one mouthful is beyond invigorating.

For those who do not share this love of trekking across woods, mountains, and other various landscapes, they can live vicariously through those who have an eye for capturing beauty. The excitement and beauty of nature can be captured in the blink of an eye or the closing of a camera shutter. It is fleeting and a somewhat incomplete experience, but still possible to be shared with others.

Whether you want to get up close and personal with your adventuring, or experience it through a picture, all types of adventuring further the great human experience that we call life.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
