Mindset Of Adventures
Hannah Lovingood

Adventure: (noun) an unusual and exciting, typically hazardous, experiences or activity.

(verb) engage in hazardous and exciting activity, especially the exploration of unknown territory.

Believe it or not, adventures do not have to be dangerous, expensive, or even far from your home. Adventures are what you want them to be, and what you want to learn from each trip. Going on adventures is all about the mindset you have before going into each one. Oftentimes, we find ourselves just going with the flow, or trying to like things other people enjoy, and that’s not fair to our inner selves. Each person must go off and have alone time, explore, and become closer to finding themselves.

My definition of adventure is doing something out of the ordinary at a random time, whether that be alone or with people you love. With this simple definition, I can turn almost anything into my own adventure. No matter where we go, or how far we are from home, we never stop learning and seeing new things.

Being able to let go and let life take you into the wind allows more randomness into your life. Don’t be scared to do something because it's different, or something you think you might not like. Don't worry about the consequences..... just do it.

Here are some tips to get you started on stimulating, mini adventures:

Expect the Unexpected: After all, this is how you end up on an adventure most of time by things not going according to plan. Things are almost better this way when plans don't go through yet you’re still optimistic about what could come later.

Try New Things: Cliche, I know, but how do you know what you like or don’t like without even trying it first? Trying new things can open up anyone's horizon rather that new thing is good, bad, or indifferent.

Hangout With New People: Although it's fun to be around your best friend(s) most of the time it also gets old, turns into a routine, and can hinder one's growth. You must take an interest in new people. Talk to people that you normally wouldn’t speak to, listen and reminisce on the conversation later. This is how you open the door to new things.

Make a Bucket List: Some things on the list might not ever get done but at least you thought about it and tried. You have nothing else to lose so why not face every obstacle in life? By making a bucket list keeps your mind wondering and open to new cuisine, people, and cultures.

Have Courage: Nothing sucks more than wanting to do something different but being scared of the outcome. There is no bad outcome in life. Be optimistic towards everything and say yes. The only bad outcome of having courage is saying no because you’re chicken.

Starting your stimulating, mini adventures will take a lot of effort but I guarantee it won’t do much harm to your life. Take the time for yourself to dream and explore right now.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
