Life Is Too Short To Not Travel

I don't get the holding back of some people.

When you get offered the glorious and exciting opportunity of getting to travel somewhere, why would you even think about holding back? Traveling is so good for the soul. It's the greatest way of "running away" from everyday life.

It's good to do that anyway. It's healthy, and it's great to have a break every once in a while.

I know sometimes money can be the main factor standing between you and Mexico, or you and Disney World. I can understand that, and I also know that we don't just live life to make money, eat, and sleep. I know we can always make money, but we can't always make memories. I also know that we can't just hop on a plane or get it a car and go somewhere for free.

We must work hard for what we want, and eventually, we earn vacations and traveling.

Traveling is a huge part of life, and it shouldn't be taken for granted. Everyone deserves to travel and see the world.

Sometimes, being stuck at home can get a little old. You wake up, go to work or school, eat, shower, sleep, and repeat. You wish for something temporarily different. Change. Good change.

What are the unknowns here? What is so bad about hopping on a plane and facing your fears? It's all worth it when you get there, and it will definitely be worth it in the end.

I don't get the holding back of some people.

I absolutely hate airplanes, but I'm willing to get on one to make amazing memories. I'm willing to face my fears of going up 35,000 feet in the air to see Cinderella's Castle or to visit Mexico for the first time or to put my feet in the Pacific Ocean.

Life is too short to not travel. You'll be missing out if you choose to stay home. You shouldn't spend your life just in one place. There is always home to go back to, but there are millions of places to explore and go to.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

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?
