Need more places to add to your bucket list? Here are 5 places that you need to travel to ASAP.

1. Iceland

You won't go to heaven if you don't go to Iceland. Kidding. From the beautiful waterfalls to active volcanoes, glaciers to hot springs, the Land of Fire and Ice is a study in extremes. Go to Reykjavik, the quirky capital city, where a host of reputable outfitters like Arctic Adventures offer excursions from scenic horseback rides to extreme ice climbing.

2. France

From Paris to Normandy, there is so much to see! I have been to both locations and my breath has been taken away from seeing both places. When in Paris you have to visit Eiffel Tower, Cathedral of Notre Dame, Louvre, Champs-Elysees, and Arc de Triomphe. Normandy is full of history, Normandy is best known for the D-Day beaches, the war cemeteries in Bayeux, Caen and Colleville-sur-Mer. Also, make sure to visit Abbaye du Mont-Saint-Michel—it's surrounded by water and high tides.

3. Morocco

Personally, Morocco is my favorite country. The pictures I have seen are absolutely breathtaking! The intoxicating experience of turbaned arts and craft sellers at every turn, careening donkey carts, and smiling snake charmers is unforgettable.

4. Israel

Jerusalem has a thriving art and culture scene, most notably the Israel Museum, a twenty-acre complex of exhibits and collections featuring Judaica, Israeli, and European art, plus archaeological findings. The Dead Sea Scrolls, discovered in the mid-twentieth century in caves near the Dead Sea, are housed here. Whether you are religious or not, this beautiful country is a must-see!

5. Antartica

Yes, Antartica. The absence of people means a pristine wilderness like none other, with colossal icebergs, giant whales, and tens of thousands of penguins.

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.
