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!

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
