Why Should You Go Outdoors?

As college students we are forced to spend a majority of our time indoors. Whether we are in class, at the library, at work or in our cars, we do not have nearly as much time outside as we need. Living in Provo there are so many things that we can do outside and we have a lot of opportunities to have fun in the outdoors. So why don’t we take advantage of the outdoors? In my opinion people don’t know about all of the fun things you can do outside in and around Provo. That is why I have decided to write a blog describing all of the fun things you can do to get yourself outside. You may ask yourself why should I go outside? Besides the obvious answers here are my top ten reasons why you should spend as much time outside as possible.

1. It is absolutely beautiful outside!
2. The options are limitless for what you can do outdoors.
3. We, in Utah, have some of the most amazing mountains right in our backyard and we need to utilize them.
4. It is important to exercise everyday and what better way to exercise then to go outside and play!
5. Although it may be cold in the winter, there are plenty of winter activities that you can do; you just need to dress warm.
6. Being outside is free! You can hike, run, swim, and admire the beauty of nature and play all for free. If free doesn’t sound good to a college student, then I don’t know what will!
7. Sunshine is important in order for people to be truly happy.
8. There is nothing better than fresh air and the crisp smell of nature!
9. Nature truly is God's creation and you can see his hand in all of the amazing areas around you.
10. It is fun to be outside and you can have any kind of adventure you want!

The outdoors are beautiful and magnificent, so get off your computer and go for a run or go play at the closest park! Just remember, there is an adventure awaiting you, so go find it!
