Go See The World

There are so many amazing places in the world, if you just open your eyes and look for them.

"The Earth Has Music For Those Who Listen"

There are so many breathtaking places in the world. There are mountains to be hiked, seas to be sailed, views to be seen and rivers to swim in. We have an immense array of exquisite destinations at our fingertips, ready to be explored. However, we don't always appreciate that. Our high-speed, scheduled lifestyles often don't allow for us to have time to travel the world and see its many marvels. I urge you, however, to go against the monotonously predictable lifestyle that you most likely currently have. Take a trip--bring a friend, bring your family, or even go alone. Make a bucket list of the places you've always wanted to see and then go there. Once you get there, put your phone away and just take in the rejuvenating atmosphere that surrounds you. Listen to all of the sounds and voices of nature. Learn to really appreciate the planet that you are lucky enough to call your home, because we often forget how much of a blessing it is to be able to live in such an amazing place. Hop on a boat and take a voyage outside of your little bubble. Who knows, you may come across something incredible.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
