Embrace Your Adventures And Live A Little

The most interesting parts of life are the ones that make great memories.

Embrace Your Adventures And Live A Little
Tamara Ready

Your sense of adventure is peaked the moment you find the love, and thrill, of whatever it is that you're doing.

Adventure will come to you in so many different forms throughout this life. For some, this may be the breathtaking journey of climbing high mountains, sailing treacherous waters, or flying around the globe. For others, this may be a memorable drive down the coastline with enjoyable company, starting a family, or simply changing the route in which you walk your dog on a daily basis. Regardless of how you do it though, enjoy it. Even if they do not seem like a big deal to others, it doesn't matter, because those moments were really all for you.

Our adventures are our stories. They are our past, our present, and our future. Keeping this in mind, there should never be a day that you can't experience one, or prepare yourself for another.

Just think about it: one day you're sitting at home wondering what your next big moment in life will be. You think to yourself, "I want to go on a trip and sleep under the stars." So, you do. You set out on an adventure to the forest and do just that. You kind of just go for it.

Obviously it isn't always as easy as this seems, but if you have the opportunity, why not give yourself the journey you can tell amazing stories about afterwards.

If anything, these moments should feel unlike any other. Like Peter Pan said: "to live would be an awfully big adventure."

Sure, everything is made easy and simple with pixie dust, but even through the rough patches, you can still find reason to have a great moment to live in, and an equally as great memory to look back on.

Even for myself, with all of the mini trips I enjoy going on, there are still the adventures I have difficulties with. My education for example. It's been a roller coaster of a journey, with ups and downs (this may or may not reference my GPA,) but throughout it all I have had a miraculous journey studying and participating in something I care a lot about.

Needless to say, only you can experience your adventures. And when you experience them, you should tell your stories, love your memories, and endearingly look forward to what's to come next.

Adventure is out there. And it can, and will, find anyone and everyone. Whether you know that you need it or not. And when it happens, you're going to find it memorable.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
