When I was younger, I always loved the idea of adventure. Now that I think about it I’m sure I got that love from the books I read. I remember being big into many different series of books. I loved the feeling of finishing a really good book and knowing there are so many more books continuing from the same idea. One of these series is the Magic Tree House series. These books were about two kids who (believe it or not) have a magic tree house. A sorceress sends them on missions through time in order to save her from a spell. The children also want to become master librarians. The children went on so many adventures and I absolutely loved reading about them. I think all of their adventures and traveling helped to develop the wanderlust I have today. 

Now that I think about it, the idea of adventure has always been attractive to me. In my favorite show, Supernatural, the main characters are always on some type of adventure. They travel across the country saving people (and the world) from supernatural beings. Whenever I watch the show, I get a thrill of the idea of the adventures in the show.

I have honestly never thought about researching as the way the author described it in the reading. I always thought about research as scrolling through “.edu or .org” websites (because “.com” are clearly evil when researching) trying to find some relevant information for a research paper that I typically do not care about. I now find it very interesting how some of the choices we make—as children or now, as college students—can shape us as unique individuals.
