Exploring your way into a better future
Article by: Lexi Clary
Browsing on the internet I found a few people who keep themselves busy with personal projects on a daily basis. Every day, they are able to set aside time for themselves to spend outside away from the constant buzz that school, social media and sports takes away. I always thought that I didn’t have the time to do that: too busy with school, too busy with sports. But I tried and I have managed to do it. I just had to work against the clock, meaning that no matter how much I wanted to not go out and get away from my everyday schedule, I did it anyways.
I think one of the most fatal flaws in our generation and American culture is our obsession with comfort. We strive so hard to achieve a level of comfort, insulating and protecting ourselves from the challenges that surround us, that we forget to be aware of the world we live in.
Going outside and being surrounded by nature opens up a whole new world of creativity, which in turn can also help bring new creative ideas to the classroom. According to an article by Abigail Wise, getting outside can help improve brain function and help make you a healthier individual. I strongly recommend setting aside some time during the week to get out and explore what’s outside around us, plus all of the fresh air is a good way to get your brain in gear and ready to learn.
