When you think of Spring Break, you often think of warm, sunny locations down south. In fact, when first starting to plan my vacation, I instantly thought of Florida beaches and Caribbean cruises. However, when challenged to think outside the book, my planning diverted from the south to the east coast, focusing on these five cities that are a bucket list must!

Washington D.C.

Of course, any citizen of the United States of America should make at least one trip to our nation's capital. This city is packed full of history and current politics, making it a hot spot for history buffs. It's quite impossible to see everything in one week, but be sure not to miss the White House, Capitol Hill, the memorials and monuments, and the Smithsonian museums!

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This fun city tends to be favorite by many! The Historical District is a must-see, as well as Rocky Steps. Enjoy a beloved Philly Cheesesteak while checking out the Liberty Bell in this city.

New York City, New York

I once was told that you haven't lived until you visit NYC. While I still fall into the category of 'not living', I hear the top sights in this city are the Statue of Liberty and Central Park. Times Square is a hit, especially near New Year's Eve. This city is hopping with great tourist sights and fun downtown!

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

If you are looking to still hit the beach but don't want to end up in Florida, this location is the perfect place for you! When not wading in the water or tanning in the sunlight, check out Ripley's Aquarium and the SkyWheel!

Annapolis, Maryland

Home of the United States Naval Academy, this town is neat to visit to witness the rich history and culture. Tour the Naval Academy to see where some of the top United States Navy Officers are being cultivated. Maryland's Statehouse is also located here.

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.
