Yes, You Should Take That Vacation

There's nothing more I want to do than travel the world. I truly think everyone should travel. Yes, that means you, your parents, your grandmother, even your friends. It is never too late to go on a vacation! If you're unable to travel by plane, then take a road trip. What's more fun than a vacation? You get to see new things, and learn a lot about yourself.

A lot of people think that they aren't meant to travel. Some are afraid to take a vacation because they don't want to mess up their career, or upset their boss. A common question that people have is, what if I because I'm going on vacation I'll mess my career up, and can't get a new one when I get back? Honestly, I'm here to tell you that will NEVER happen. You'll still have a job when you return, and if you let your boss know in advance that you're going away there won't be any issues.

Some people are worried about the price of traveling. Can I afford a vacation? That's what goes through a lot of people's minds, and they usually think they can't afford one and don't go. As someone that travels multiple times a year, depending on what you do, where you're going, and where you're staying vacations aren't that costly.

You don't have to be rich to travel well. Travel is never a matter a money, but of courage. You are so worth a vacation, and the price shouldn't deter you from going. If I'm being honest, the memories you make from these vacations are priceless. You get to keep those memories and pictures forever.

There are countless benefits of traveling. You get to meet new people, which is always fun because of the friendships you'll make. You get experience life a different way. You get a mental and physical break from your everyday life. You get to be part of a new culture, and try new food. Traveling makes you a more interesting person because you'll make all these amazing memories and people will love to hear them.

Ultimately, traveling will change you. Do yourself a favor and take a vacation this year. You owe it to yourself.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
