When Traveling Has Your Heart

Traveling is one of the most beautiful things that we are able to do. We can pretty much do whatever we want and go wherever we want. If we want to go to the same area over and over again, we can do so. If we want to constantly go to different place, we can. Traveling has always been something I have loved to do, and I'm one of those people that love going somewhere new. The problem is that I haven't been able to go where I want to go, and because of this, my love for adventure makes me do all sorts of things.

Watch travel vlogs.

I'm subscribed to a few people on YouTube, and with their sponsorships with Contiki, a travel group for young adults, I have seen a few YouTubers go to some of the most beautiful places of the world. This led me to following FunForLouis (Louis Cole), who vlogs every day of his life and seems to constantly be somewhere new and RayaWasHere (Raya Encheva), who posts weekly videos on life advice and her frequent adventures. Watching travel vlogs helps my love for travel become bigger and bigger, and they always keep me inspired. A couple of Louis' recent vlogs made me want to travel to several places in Peru and not just Machu Pichu. I instantly fell in love.

Have a travel Pinterest board.

Pinterest may be known as DIY central and helpful for weddings and other things, but it also has great infographics on traveling in specific countries and traveling in general. There are also thousands of pictures of some of the most amazing aspects that the world offers. I have learned so many things about traveling that I can remember about through the use of my travel board on Pinterest!

3. Plan, plan, plan.

These two things combined have helped me want to start all kinds of things. As a writer, being a travel writer is a beautiful combination of the two things I love to do: travel and write. I also want to study abroad on a program where I can actually learn about travel writing. Also on my list is to start creating itineraries for places and start a blog or become a vlogger. I will definitely have to save up for a nice camera!

Through these things my love for travel will never go away, and it only makes me want to save up for my next adventure!

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
