If you're from Columbus like I am, you will definetly see these around Cbus (as us locals call it). If you're from any other part of Ohio, you'll probably relate to this. If you're not from Ohio you probably won't understand this article and that's a shame.

1. THE Ohio State University (football, The OSU medical center, and the school itself.)

This had to be the first thing on my list. Almost everyone's dream as a kid living in Columbus is to be a Buckeye. Although I don't like the football team (sorry Buckeyes but Roll Tide!) the school itself is excellent. It boasts an award winning network of hospitals, including the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Research Institute, Wexner Medical Center, and the Ohio State University Medical Center.

2. Columbus Zoo and Aquarium

People from all over Ohio, the Country, even the world travel to see the columbus zoo. Why? Its award winning, which does not come as a surprise because the zoo in addition to managing itself owns waterpark Zoombezi Bay, Safari Golf Course located right across from the zoo, and the Wilds, located in eastern Ohio, southeast of Zanesville. The wilds is a Jack Hannah African Wildlife Safari. And lets not forget to mention the Wildlights attraction the zoo displays every winter.

3. The Short North

The short north is located just south of Ohio State's campus and north of downtown Columbus. As one of the big arts districts of Columbus, the Short North boasts a variety of galleries, shops, restaurants and bars. It's also a mere few minutes from downtown Columbus and Ohio State which makes it a popular spot for college students and professionals alike.

4. Nationwide Arena

Nationwide Arena is home to NHL team the Columbus Blue Jackets (although they aren't the best team in the NHL they had a franchise record breaking month for November 2016) and it also hosts a variety of concerts, sporting events and hockey games (not just professional). It's also located in the Arena District, which boasts not only Nationwide and a variety of restaurants and bars, but Huntington Park, home to the Columbus Clippers.

5. Mapfre Stadium (AKA Crew Stadium)

Although it's called Mapfre Stadium, locals know it as Crew Stadium. Home to MLS team the Columbus Crew. The stadium is located near downtown, and attracts a lot of crew fans.

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.
