Traveling The World Will Change Your Life

The best investment in life is traveling.

Traveling The World Will Change Your Life

I know that I am not the only one who dreams of traveling the world! I could say that I have been dreaming of traveling since I was a little girl. I want to see new places, eat new cuisine, learn about new cultures, and meet new people. It is amazing to know that this world is so big with so many different kinds of people out there. I know I will travel the world sometime in the future, or I might end up deciding to take a trip next month! Sometimes I wonder if I will travel alone, or with my future love (which would be amazing).

Sharing new experiences with someone you love would be an awesome experience, but doing some travel alone wouldn’t be bad either. It would be the perfect time to think and reconnect with yourself.

Every place in this world has a story, every city holds a myth, every culture has their art work.
I want to walk where Jesus walked (Jerusalem), I want to see the pyramids (Egypt), I want to go kiss someone special in “El Callejon Del Beso” (Guanajuato, Mexico) or go see Aurora Borealis(Alaska, U.S.). I just want to get to know every place. I want to know the stories within its buildings and people

I have been blessed to travel around some places within the U.S. and Mexico. My first plane ride was when I was two years old. I went to Mexico City from Omaha, Nebraska. You can say my family kinda started my dream of traveling. I remember getting on planes every summer and just thinking, I could go anywhere in the world, and to this day I hop on a plane and still have the same thought. Recently, I have been able to afford to travel on my own, and I have learned that the best investment anyone could make is travel time.

I could honestly waste $400 on a brand new hot pink Michael Kors bag (and the excitement of having that bag would be gone within a month) OR I could spend $400 or more on a travel experience and those memories and excitement would last a lifetime. I can for sure guarantee you that my future investments will go into traveling. The best advice I could give you is to travel now that you can, and if you know you have the money. Enjoy life, live to the fullest; make memories that will for sure make you smile every time you look back.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
