Life

Pedaled to Places 

                         

        Sometimes the best plan is not having a plan.  Pretending not to be locals, Mariah and I decided to make the most of living five minutes from D.C.  Breaking from my usual habit of planning everything to a T, we followed our split intuition and pedaling feet to the most wonderful day.  We had no set plans which led us to monuments, the White House, random coffee shops, and streets we had never been down before.  We spent much needed time catching up and I am so lucky to have shared this adventurous day with my built-in best friend. Obviously, after only one day of being a little spontaneous,  I am no female version of Indiana Jones.  However, I did learn the beauty behind not always having a plan.  In the future, I plan to just follow my feet and pedal to wherever life takes me. 

My Favorite View 

When I'm not in the library or binge watching Friends, I'm probably on a walk.  I know I know sounds sort of lame going on walks alone and all, but it not as bad as it sounds.  I usually leave my phone at home and use the time to disconnect from all the stress of school and life.  I think about my day and all the things I accomplished and all the things I didn't (usually this list is a little longer).  It helps me to appreciate the big picture and to not focus on small setbacks in a day because there is always tomorrow to ~walk~ towards bigger and better things.
