My Top 6 Reasons to Travel

Traveling is such a rewarding and amazing experience. Here are my top 6 reasons to travel!

6. New styles.

I love clothes and fashion (although I am too broke to properly display that love), and I am always in awe when I visit a new place and see how different their fashion sense may be from mine. I do admit that when traveling somewhere, I research what their fashion may be like just to make sure I will not stand out more than I already will as a tourist. Even when traveling within the States, different cities have very different kinds of styles than my small town does.

5. New food and new people.

As someone who loves food, food is an important part of trip planning. I love to eat any and all carbs, so those are normally the kinds of restaurants I gravitate towards, but a national or community favorite is always a stop on the itinerary.


4. The scenery.

This is almost self-explanatory, but I had to mention it. The views of this world are absolutely amazing. No matter where you visit, I guarantee that there will be a breathtaking view somewhere. I know some people would rather enjoy the view instead of seeing it through a camera lens, but taking photos of the beautiful scenery is something that you will be thankful for when you are having traveler's fever.

3. You will discover that there is more to this world than your small town (or big city).

And you will develop a greater sense of wonder and appreciation for the different people and cultures of the world.There are more than seven billion people in this world occupying hundreds of thousands of villages, towns, and cities. Mingle with the locals, find hole-in-the-wall places, stroll through the main street at rush hour. Go out and take a minute to just feel small in comparison to the vast world around you.


2. You will learn far more than you ever planned on learning when first planning your trip.

Travel is the best education. You can learn new history, facts, languages, and so much more while on your adventure. Take time to visit museums and historical spots to become a part of that community's history. Becoming culturally involved, even the smallest bit, can still help you with future endeavors and experiences.


1. The priceless memories that you make will be cherished forever.

Whether you capture your memories through phone, film, or mind, they are memories that you will never be able to forget and will cherish for a lifetime. No matter where you travel, whether it be on a two-hour day trip or a two-month vacation to Europe, traveling is an experience that will change you as a person, even the slightest bit.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
