Amusement Parks- A lot of people hate the feeling that they get when they go on roller coasters, other people feel sick when they go on rides. I personally get most excited for that feeling the rides give you and the adrenaline you feel going to the top. My favorite roller coasters are definitely the ones that have loops in them. I love to go upside-down and get a good view of the park. Amusement parks always have happy vibes, I think they heal our inner child and are a good time for anybody who attends – child to adult. Even those who don’t enjoy the rides may enjoy the other attractions or food.

Shoes- If the category is sneakers, I’ll take sneakers for 400. I have been obsessed with shoes for as long as I can remember, but I officially started my collection in 7th grade. I remember I would always tell my mom I wanted to start a shoe collection and she’d always tell me, “Wait until your foot stops growing”. I have been a size 5.5 youth since 7th grade, so a few of my sneakers I have today I’ve had since then. A new fresh pair of shoes makes me happy. I overall have a little over 50 pairs. Shoes give me a sense of confidence and excitement to get dressed for that day.

Camping Trips- Camping alongside fishing, is another activity I have partook in for as long as I can remember. I have always loved going camping and riding in the boat, Jet skis, kayak, all the food, gathering around the campfire at night having those “I remember when…” conversations. Then waking up to the birds chirping just after sunrise. I think I love camping so much because it is very peaceful along with other activities on my list. The older you get, the more you just want to engage in activities that you can relax while doing and to me this is perfect. It allows you to live in nature with nature.

Car Rides- Car rides are very peaceful, especially when you are alone or accompanied by someone you enjoy spending time with. Music really can set the tone of the car ride. I love using the time I’m on the road to be in my thoughts, wind down and enjoy the sunset or any other beautiful sight. Whether I am heading somewhere closer in distance, or I’m on a road trip I always want to continue riding.

Food- I think we can all agree food makes us some extent of happy. For me food is very exciting. I love going to a resteraunt and waiting on my food to come – it builds a sort of suspense and excitement. Food takes a lot of my money, on average I probably door dash food to myself 5 times a week. I think food is the one thing I spend large amounts of money on and do not regret after because after all, it is a need.

Coffee- For those who enjoy coffee I think we can all agree sometimes coffee for us is like a charger for a phone. I love how coffee is versatile and can be enjoyed hot, cold, blended, in food and probably other ways I am not even aware of. There is nothing better than a nice warm cup of coffee on a cold morning to help warm and wake you up. I usually choose to enjoy iced and blended coffee when I am drinking coffee in the middle of the day, especially if it is a hot day out.

Fishing- Fishing has always been an activity I participated in with my family growing up. My dad always would take us fishing, he loved to go and encouraged me and my brothers to go as well. Fast forward all this time, I still love to go fishing with my dad. I’ve learned patience over the years, and I’ve grown to enjoy it more. I’ve also gotten a lot better at it. I think it is a very peaceful activity to partake in, especially if you enjoy the nature.

Caring, Genuine Actions/ Words of Affirmation- When people make you feel heard, loved, and cared about it is the best feeling. For me words of affirmation are like a warm hug on a cold day. Sometimes they are exactly what you needed to hear, especially if you are someone who overthinks. Little sentimental actions for me are superior. I feel if your intentions in someone’s life aren’t genuine you should remove yourself. I think the world needs to grow in a more positive direction and that’s where we should start.

Traveling- Knowing you are leaving for vacation the next day to me is so exciting. Packing that suitcase and trying to make everything fit is stimulating and stressful. However not being able to sleep that night because the suspense you have built up for the next day’s project is amazing. I love traveling so much, I do plan on trying to become a flight attendant after high school. It’s so interesting to me the technology that goes into creating cars, airplanes, helicopters etc. Overall, I love seeing new views and experiencing different people, air, accents and attractions.

Music- I honestly cannot imagine life without music. Music is very therapeutic. Music is like a void filler, it is always there, and it gives us a sense of understanding and comfort. I think it is very interesting as well how people come up with songs. People create a rhythm and put words with it and make it all sound beautiful. It is such a versatile thing there is no way anyone couldn’t find a genre they enjoyed listening to.
