6 Not-So-Secret Spots in San Diego Everyone Should Try

1. Spruce Street Suspension Bridge

This bridge is right in the heart of the Bankers Hill neighborhood. It's secluded, secretive, peaceful, serene, and most importantly, it floats over hundred of treetops, and sways side to side as you walk on it.

2. The Secret Swings

These swings are near Scripps Pier in La Jolla (that's all you get, sorry). Multiple swings hang from a tree that overlook the most beautiful view of the beach. Talk about the best seats in the house...

3. Windandsea Beach

Coronado and Sunset Cliffs are outmoded beaches, especially if you're a San Diego native. Windandsea beach is where you'll catch all the locals -- the waves are intense, the breeze is fresh, and there are many rocks and cliffs that you can sit on as you overlook the sunset. Driving out here after school or during the weekend with friends is the best thing one can do!

4. Salk Institute

The Salk Institute is a scientific research center. Once you're there, look closely into the office windows and you'll notice tons of laboratories. Most people just go to admire the architectural design of the institute; it peacefully sits alongside the beach and has a long water stream that runs through the center of the buildings. There are many levels and cool hiding spots, it's a perfect place to take pictures.

5. James Coffee

This coffee shop has to be one of my favorites. It's on India Street and has an edgy, yet rustic warehouse vibe. The staff is incredibly friendly, and they always know how to spark up a conversation. They also have some cool neighbors -- a shaving parlor, sunglass shop, and bike shop. The interior design is simple, yet very aesthetically appealing. They sell various different types of merchandise, like tee shirts and of course, coffee blends. The White Owl pour over coffee and Iced Chai Tea Latte are my personal favorites.

6. Wow Wow Waffle

If you're a waffle fan, this is the perfect place for you. If you're a picky person (or just not adventurous enough), be aware that it's practically behind a laundromat. Don't be mistaken, the waffles and toppings are genius. The most popular waffle is the bacon, avocado and goat cheese, but I've yet to get my hands on one but don't be scared to venture out and get your hands on one of these tasty waffles! A definite and personal recommendation of mine would be the Nutella with fruit and Brie and Jam Waffle --they're amazing! The staff is very friendly, and the owner even brings out the food for each customer. It might sound like a hole in the wall, but it's really just a relaxed and cute spot that many people have yet to discover. Don't be intimidated, try something new!

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.
