#104 Watch a Sunrise/Sunset

You all know the sayings, “stop and smell the roses” and “enjoy the simple things in life.” Well, even though our blog has had many suggestions of adventurous and extreme activities, some of the most enjoyable and essential things in life are the simple things. When was the last time you just sat and watched [...]

#102 ❘ Practice Yoga ❘

I’ve been meaning to go to yoga since the start of the semester. People commonly associate yoga with relaxation, but yoga is much more powerful than that. It helps your mind, body and spirit unite in many ways. Controlled breathing, meditation, elasticity, better circulation, a detachment from your troubles are all benefits that you achieve.
The [...]

#99 Enjoy A Fall Picnic

I love the fall. The leaves start turning colors along branches and streets. The air starts to smell from the aroma of burning wood in fireplaces. We get to trade in our flip flops and bikinis for fuzzy boots and scarves. It’s the perfect medium between summer and winter. 
 
 
While the weather’s warm, I love to [...]

#98 Get Married

In honor of a holiday (Thanksgiving) where we give [...]

#96 Go on a Family Vacation

You cannot replace family.  Time spent with them is priceless.  Since I can remember, my family has vacationed somewhere.  Almost every year we go to Florida (usually Destin).  But, even on the years that we couldn’t make the trip, we have tried to get away somewhere, if even for a few days.
I always had a [...]

#94 Go On A Road Trip!

Past the original feeling of excitement most teenagers feel at age 16 when we first get our license, most of us get so used to driving we forget how much fun it can be. In Austin, like many other cities, traffic can be so bad you wish you were on foot!
But fear not, [...]

#92 A Lesson in Gratitude

“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.”  ~William Arthur Ward
A gift of thanks is an effortless and intangible treasure that can benefit the giver as much as the receiver. Take some time over this holiday week/weekend to tell someone specifically how grateful you are for them and [...]
