Traveling can allow acceptance and open-mindedness, the life lessons we should be learning.

Traveling the world can broaden your horizons and make new experiences that could define you and bring you tranquility. While traveling to London, I was able to understand the culture and diversity a trip across the pond could give me. When we first arrived there I was in no mood to learn different history or try new foods but after finding new friends, I was able to open up to different philosophies and arts. Voyaging to the U.K. made me realize how truly patriotic but also lustful of the life I have and the one I could have there. The more open opportunities and exclusive cottage towns with sweets shops down the road made me covet the lifestyle of some British, but my home town brought me back to why I live where I do. Traveling is, in my opinion, the best way to appreciate the world we live in and the beauty of tomorrow.

Learning new philosophies of life and different world views help us understand and resonate with the one we want to portray. Either listening to the churning your own cheese or devoting countless hours to prayer, we must accept variety and varying humanities and lifestyles. Visiting nearby or far away cities can help us achieve this. I believe acceptance, love, and peace are the best thing we can bring into this world and negative, unappreciative energy can destroy dreams and emotions even far away. Traveling lets us explore different souls, cities and surroundings for new loves, lives, and environments. We can learn the importance of traditions and the excitement of new ones, from pouring tea on cracked clay to killing the beast of the feast, we all take part in rituals we would want to share with the world so why not try new ones today.. With the ever-growing fear spreading across borders, it seems like people are less likely to leave their safe space because of extremists trying to destroy happiness. By traveling we can start the beginnings of a new, loving world and create a more compassionate society to grow in.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
