The Importance Of Vacations

Improved Essays
Register to read the introduction… These vacations are not typically very relaxed. They are very strictly planned out and your days are spent rushing from one place/activity to another. Their point of view would be that if you want to sit around and do nothing, you can do that at home, what’s the point of going anywhere? People with this mentality would probably be more interested in the theme park or sightseeing vacations. There are lots of things to do. The days are action packed with little or no down time. Once you finish one thing, there are a hundred other things to do

    What does it truly mean to be intellectual? Some may say that being intellectual means being book smart, while others say that it is being street smart. In an entry of “Hidden Intellectualism” by Gerald Graff, Graff believes that one can actually become intellectual if they start learning about topics they actually enjoy and then slowly start easing into challenging topics.

When asked why people decide travel they just say that they travel for vacation, but what they do not realize is that traveling is a learning experience.…

    Colin Wilson in his quote is trying to explain the downfalls of normality. He describes how our day to day normal lives are similar to a cow standing in the rain, just taking it. I completely agree with Colin Wilson, I think he has a very good point about normality today. How we see everything pass by us, yet it doesn't effect us in a deep rooted sense. The average man conforms so easily to the demands of society and he takes no gratitude in individuality.…

    By the time I was done with everything I needed to do, however, I could already see the street lights turning on. There are only so many hours in the day. Practicing saxophone, doing school work, making sure I have enough sleep to function— things that significantly reduces my time. It gets pretty troubling to my mental health when I can’t take an hour or two out of my week to just lay back and…

    Each year, a pilgrimage to the Florida or Alabama gulf coast is a highly anticipated and enjoyed event for my family. In the beginning, it was just my wife and I. Man oh man, these trips were some of the most relaxing times that I can remember. Now, our yearly “beach fest” includes our two children, Kaylee and Garrett. While this is still a wonderful family event, I no longer use the phrase “relaxing”. Elbert Hubbard once said, “No man needs a vacation so much as the man who just had one”.…

    Travelling abroad is one of the best ways to step outside of your comfort zone. Everything is different – the people, the language, the food, the sight, the smell and an entirely new culture. Although most of the people who travel abroad experience some degree of culture shock, it is nothing to be afraid of. In fact, experiencing culture shock can be a very positive thing as it gives you the opportunity to learn about yourself, adapt to the new surroundings, understand different kinds of people, widen your horizons about different cultures that inhabit this planet and emerge as a global citizen.…
