For anyone studying abroad or planning on traveling to Europe, London Town is a must-see. There is much to do in this city, here are the ones you have to check off.

1. Kensington Palace

A home and office of the Royals, plus the Diana exhibit. There is a lot to see here and beautiful grounds to walk on.

2. Buckingham Palace

Perhaps the most famous palace, and you can pose like Meghan Markle before she was a princess.

3. Victoria and Albert Museum

A very pretty museum and one that must go on your list.

4. Churchill's War Rooms

This museum offers visitors a unique insight into the Prime Minister's Rooms during World War II.

5. Parliament

Though the Big Ben is under construction until 2021, there are beautiful buildings to see! It also is next to Westminster Abbey, the most famous Anglican church.

6. Tower Bridge

The best time to appreciate the London Bridge is to see it at night, and appreciate the lighting.

7. London Eye

This is the best way to get the bird's eye view of London, and it has to be done.

8. Notting Hill

Portobello Road is a great place to see the Notting Hill houses, and is conveniently close to the bookshop used in the movie Notting Hill.

9. Covent Gardens

London has many cute markets, my personal favorite so far is Covent Gardens. It has cobblestone roads, and many restaurants and stores nearby.

10. Brick Lane in Shoreditch

Shoreditch is the trendy part of London. It has the best fish 'n' chips and the best bagels in the city, both on Brick Lane.

11. The British Museum

Like many museums in London, the British Museum is free. It is home to the Rosetta Stone.

12. Fortnum & Mason

This is the department store version of tea. There's chocolates, biscuits, loose tea, tea bags, tea sets, and everything else you can imagine.

13. High Tea

High Tea in England is a must!

14. Oxford Circus

Oxford Circus is a great street to shop on, and is very pretty in the winter with the Christmas lanterns.

15. Window Shopping at Harrods and on Sloan Street

Harrod's looks like its Christmas all year. Both Harrods and Sloan Street are homes of high end shopping, but its fun for everyone to see the beautiful clothes.

16. West End Show

The West End is the Broadway of London. They have similar shows, so its a great opportunity to splurge on a show you love!

17. St. Paul's Cathedral

This is a beautiful Catholic church to visit.

18. Shakespeare's Globe Theatre

Shakespeare's playhouse has been recreated for the modern day, and you can visit it!

19. King's Cross

When you're ready to get on a train to Hogwarts, head over to King's Cross. There is a recreation of Platform 9 3/4 for Harry Potter fans!

20. A Football Game

They don't call it soccer here, but the following is huge. It is a large part of the culture, and great fun to watch!

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.
