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

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
