Learning Challenge: Sleeeeepppp

I read "How Decays the Mind and Body" I have always been into being as healthy as possible. I eat incredibly healthly and workout 7 days a week. I noticed my junior year when I was getting 4 hours of sleep on a regular basis I was gaining more weight, which is weird for me. I have always wondered why sleep increases muscle gains as well. Everyone always told me that sleep is just as important. Now that I know it helps your cells regenerate, which is the whole idea behind building muscle. I will attempt to get more sleep even though I have loud roomates that I have to coincide my sleeping with.

It was a good mental break from the stress of life. Here's a picture of me ta

Mountain's are my favorite place

There are few places that make us feel smaller than we are, but one of those places is being on a mountain. A small speck on an enormous rock. To hike and climb to the top of these giants evokes emotions throughout the journey. Starting out at the bottom looking up at this beautiful monstrosity prepared for the strenuous journey ahead. Once the journey begins it is not difficult, but rather quite easy, mile by mile up the rock. Moments pass and the intensity of the hike relays to my legs. It becomes difficult, step by step up a giant. Trying not to let the fatigue take over me. Internalizing the definition of tenacity as best I can. Passing those who have already experienced the strain I am going through. Until there is no one left to pass by me. I am atop this enormous beauty, overlooking the specs in the valley below. Nothing has ever made me love this world we live in more than experiencing the beauty within it. That's why I will choose to experience the same strenuous cli
