Why Travel Will Forever Own My Heart
Anna Evseev

I've always been drawn towards traveling because of the excitement and energy that manifests within me. Throughout my life so far I've had the privilege to visit many different countries and states in the United States. I've been to Canada, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Ukraine, Italy, and most recently I visited the Caribbean.

While in the Caribbean, I went to St. Thomas, The Bahamas, Puerto Rico, and The Dominican Republic. Each new country that I visit opens my heart and my mind to that place and makes me want to know everything about it. Traveling is something that I want to be doing until the day I die, and I know that I want to be able to visit every country in the world at least once. Each and every country has a history and an important place in the world.

It's ironic that I hate going on planes, yet I love the rush that I feel at the prospect of going somewhere new. When we get into the air for the first few seconds I feel as if I'm dreaming, it's a truly amazing feeling. The fact that through planes we're able to fly anywhere in the world is a great feeling. In my life, I don't always want to be stagnant and in one place, I want to be exploring... Discovering... Looking through the lens of a whole new world.

Whenever I go to a new place, I always want to try the cities' ethnic foods, see the sites, buy a snow globe, and to be able to walk around the cities that aren't as touristy.

During my most recent vacation, I got to do new things and learned a lot about myself. I went Snorkeling and saw beautiful fish in St. Thomas, saw alligators and crocodiles in Florida, went to Universal Studios in Orlando, went to a Rainforest in Puerto Rico, and many different beaches along the way.

A couple of things I discovered about myself are I love the thrill of adventure and I'm totally okay with not sleeping that much in order to see all that I can possibly see. I practically slept about 4-5 hours every night while on my trip, but I have absolutely no regrets. I had the most amazing time of my life. I know that I am someone who loves traveling and will never lose that energetic fire within me, pushing me to go here, there, and everywhere.

Who knows where my next adventure will be, but I know wherever it'll be... It'll be amazing!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
