The Peace Of A Small Journey

Have you ever thought of internal feelings when it comes to going into the city life for a day?

It's a beautiful day outside, or perhaps a rather chilly one. Either way, the weather calls for you to collect your friends and spend the day in the big city. Your intention is likely to create some memories and have fun. But have you ever thought of internal feelings when it comes to going into the city life for a day?

If you're traveling to a city such as Boston, Massachusetts, you are likely entering via train. This is a much more sensible mode of transportation for going into Boston, considering that there are not many place to park without having to pay dozens of dollars to use a garage. At the first thoughts, you'd definitely like to use your car - you'd have the freedom to drive all around the city without having to walk. However, taking the train has more benefits than you might think. For one thing, you're not going to have to worry about getting stuck in the city traffic; but let's forget about the cars.

You get to the train platform after paying the fare. At that very moment, everything is peaceful. Other than people quietly talking with each other, there is really not too much to be heard. It gives you the opportunity to live in your mind - to think about the best things in life, or perhaps what would you like to forget about. No matter what your mindset is, you are still preparing to embark on a journey to a beloved city.

Now, the train arrives and the sound of its cars stopping at the platform represent the beginning of the adventure. Everything becomes even more positive from that point. You take a much more fascinating ride through the towns and cities leading to your destination; it's change from being on the road to kind of cutting through the land via railroad. All of the sights you see remarkable, from beautiful skies, notable buildings, land water, and anything from the outdoors that you can possibly think of. Regardless of what you feel, you will likely find a way to put a smile on your face.

You've reached your destination. There's all sorts of things you can do in the city, such as going to eat, having drinks at a bar, going to a museum, embarking on a tour, or even just sightseeing. Whatever it is that you choose to do, you find some peace. The people are strolling along with smiles, couples are holding hands, the skyscrapers are quite a sight, and the attractions that are all bunched up together are endless.

When you decide to spend a day in a big city, think to yourself about why you're here. No other setting could be better.

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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.
