Exploring The World Is Worth It

Take a moment to think what possibilities you can have traveling the world.

Exploring The World Is Worth It
John Victory

You often here the people exclaim how they would like to travel the world, yet don't have the time, the money or the resources. And, being a college student I know very well, that isn't as easy as some people portray it to be.

With that being said, it isn't exactly impossible. In fact, it's very possible, if you're patient. The past two years, also being my first two years of college, I've had the opportunity to experience phenomenal parts of the United States and I can't wait to continue that the older I get.

Though this story may have seemed as if it was heading in the direction of how to save a buck while venturing out in the world. It is not.

I'm writing this to talk about how maybe putting those thoughts in your ahead of "I can't" or "I want to, but I'm not able to" in the way back of your head.

Exploring the world is a great way to spend your days or some of them at least. One thing I've learned from exploring the world, is that you have never seen enough, even if you think you have.

From the spectacular sightings of a national park to a major metropolitan city, somewhere in the world, it's just never enough, but every place visited is worth the visit.

It's worth it because it's a break from reality, a major break. Once you're truly engulfed in the world, and set apart the responsibilities and the worries, just for a little, then you'll be amazed by what you experience. What you see and what you can do.

The animals, the cities, the mountains, the trees, greenery that's pretty much everywhere is breathtaking. Not to forget those amazing buildings that stand hundreds of thousands of feet in the air that basically crack your neck looking up at it.

So, take the time. Invest the money and forget the worries because traveling, exploring, it's all worth it

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
