Adventure

Do things I've never done before. Be brave. Be bold. Step outside my comfort zone. Try new things. I want to have adventure in my life, because that is what keeps life interesting.

Grades are important, class is obviously something that I must do, but having stories and living the life I want is much more fulfilling. There are some things that are higher up on my list of priorities than getting a good gpa.

Like, for instance, sneaking into the football stadium without getting caught. Impossible, you say? Not for fearless and adventurous me. The other night, me and a few friends successfully snuck into the football stadium here at school. Not just the stands either, the field itself. We got to run the whole 100 yards, feel the wind in our faces, and imagine what it would be like to have thousands of fans screaming us on as we ran. It was probably one of the coolest experiences I have had at school yet, maybe even in my whole lifetime. I wasn't drunk, I was just doing what felt right at the time. It was risky and it might have been stupid, but you only live once, right?

We have all these constraints on our lives. School, work, homework, there is always something we should be doing with our time. But what about what we want to do? Isn't that important? Shouldn't it be even more important? Yes, you should prioritize that which can be a means to an end goal, but you also have to live in the moment. Do the things you want to do because in the end, that will be what you remember.

I will never forget what it felt like to run down that field. Pure freedom and bliss. It was amazing. That is a story I will tell for the rest of my life.
