How I did it
It made me
creative 
How I did it: I spent three months in India. I really came to appreciate living simply and I realized I buy so much that I don't need or want. I have too much stuff as it is, I don't need to buy more. Now spending $10 seems like a lot. In India most trash ends up on the street, so it made me more aware of what I waste. Now I am trying to reuse what I already have. Or if I need something I see if any of my friends have something they are getting rid of. Read how I did it…
It made me
ecstatic
How I did it: I worked for a few months to save up the money for a ticket, plus used some money I had saved away in a travel account. I think what got me there the most was how much I wanted to go. I've wanted to go to India my whole life. I knew I'd get there someday. As I've learned with much in life, if you want something, really want it, not much can stop you from getting it. Strongly desiring something provokes ingenuity. Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: I have taken a few hot yoga classes before and always loved them. The last time I went to a class, about a year ago, the heat was too much for me. Now I am taking a beginner's hot yoga class, and I am loving it. It is so much easier just by being about five to ten degrees cooler. I am going to work my way up to the regular class. I have only had two classes so far, and I already feel so much better. My posture has improved greatly. Read how I did it…

I have been a Vegetarian for about a year. My friends joke with me about it. I want to be more serious in talking with them about it, opening their minds to the joy and possibility of vegetarianism. If anything I have come to find more food possibilities after becoming a vegetarian. My mom became a vegetarian when I did, and my dad is almost completely one. He is becoming more convinced because he has gotten sick the last few times he has eaten meat. I think it is a sign.
