Traveling is one of my favorite things to do. However, I tend to be the person that either overpacks or underpacks her bag. I either have way to much stuff to fit in my bag, or I left like three things at home that I needed. I wanted to make a list of the things that you will need for almost any travel trip. Whether it's a short trip to the beach or getting on the airplane to go around the world, here are 10 items you need to take with you.

1. Headphones

This one is major important for me! I'm a big music person so if I forget my headphones on the plane, it's game over. Make sure you take some with you!

2. Cash

I've learned that it's always good to have some cash on hand. Almost every place takes a card, but you will find that one time where you need cash to pay for parking, food, or souvenirs.

3. Rain Jacket

The weather is always a little crazy so bring a jacket just in case it does rain!

4. Toiletry Bag

This is literally so helpful. It's a great bag where you can just store every bathroom thing you use and a major thing to not forget on your trip!

5. A Book

I love being on my phone and all, but sometimes, I need to put it down and read a book! This makes the travel time go a lot faster!

6. Tide To Go

Don't know about you, but I always manage to get something on my clothes when I go on a trip. Tide to go is like my BFF. Gets the stains right out!

7. Laundry Bag

I normally just take a garbage bag with me on a trip, so I can put all my dirty clothes in it when I'm coming back home! That way you can separate your clothes, and just wash the ones you wore when you get back!

8. Sneakers

Take some sneakers that are comfortable!! Pretty much any trip I have gone on, we are normally walking around a lot. Sneakers always are super good for long walks and your feet with thank you.

9. Phone Charger

Don't forget it!!

10. Medicine

I always manage to get headaches when I'm in the car for too long or on the plane. Take some pain medicine with you just in case you need it!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
