Why Traveling Will Always Encapsulate My Soul

Traveling-- it’s something I’ve always loved and adored every since I was young. It’s both liberating and freeing of the mind, soul, and spirit. It’s something I hold dear to me and that I’ll never let go.

No matter where you go on this Earth, there is so much to see-- the lands, sights, views, cafes, shops, stores, culture, people-- the Earth has it all. It is up to you to open it up as much as possible. Remember, not every four corners of a box is the same. You must learn to find the little differences of the land with every step you take.

There’s nothing like seeing a fresh, new landscape. Whether it be the mountains, the beach, a river, a lake, the plains, a new city-- the opportunities are truly endless. You never know what you are going to run into, right around the corner. Take in every possible sight you can, and, even bring a camera or phone in terms of memory sake.

Shops and stores all around the world are different, unique, and cute, too. With the opening of the doors of any store, you will be blown away by the amount of culture that exists in one of them. I believe that by walking into any shop or store, you get to learn a lot about certain people and cultures that live in that part of the world. It’s truly remarkable.

Every culture, as you probably know, is different around the world. The languages, foods, people, and ways of life are all going to be different, no matter where you go around the world. Traveling is truly mind-opening. You get to see so much that you have always wanted to see and the things that you never even knew existed. It’ll make you question, “What is normal?” By the end of your trip, you may even realize that you’re not normal and no one’s normal and that’s perfectly normal in my book.

The different people around the world are pretty cool, too. In fact, they are quite fascinating. From the way they dress, talk, walk; their sense of mannerism; and a general sense of habitual and societal habits and status-- everyone around the world is truly unique. And by traveling the world, us travelers can play our own, individual part, too. We can show the world, and a specific culture, that we are unique, and that there is more to life than what they already know. They may have the land, food, and language. But, as tourists, the littlest signs of differences make it all.

Traveling truly opens the mind. It’s a magnificent experience and something that everyone should experience. Remember, it’s never too late to travel and see what this world has to offer. Not every place is for everyone; and once you find your place in life, I think that’s pretty great, too. So go ahead. Take a stroll. Let traveling encapsulate your soul.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
