8 Things To Visit In Phillidelphia

After being in the Philadelphia area for the last month, I have been able to really experience Philly and seen what the city has to offer. And let me tell you, this city is amazing! Here are 10 things that you absolutely have to do when you go to Philly:

1. Spruce Street Harbor Park


This park is right on the Delaware river and it is a place I would be more than willing to spend every weekend. There are places to get beer and other alcohol, food, and even games for children to play while the parents drink there alcoholic beverage. The best part of the park is that there are hammocks all over for you to relax and hang out on.

2. The Magic Gardens

The Magic Gardens located right on South Street are probably one of the most unique things Philly has to offer. It is a garden full of mosaics created out of garbage. The garden itself is quite big and has all sorts of unique pieces, some you will never forget! The cool thing, too, is as you go down south street you will find this type of artwork in certain allies.

3. Adventure Aquarium


If you are looking for something to do out of the sun, this aquarium is the perfect thing. It is right on the Delaware River on the other side of the park above. You get to see things like penguins, hippos, all the way to sharks and sea creatures.

4. The Liberty Bell


The Liberty Bell has so much history and is an incredible sight to see. Located in the center of Philly, make sure you check it out!

5. The Independence Beer Garden


This beer garden is located right by the Liberty Bell. It has a good amount of draft beer and a selection of liquor. With games like connect four, ping pong, and corn hole for those tailgate lovers, this is the perfect place to visit..

6. Logan Circle


Logan Circle is not far from City Hall and is in the center of where the National Science Museum and library are located. Usually full of children swimming and tourists who put their feet in the water to cool down, it is also a lot of fun as the street is filled with every country flag you could imagine.

7.Chinatown


I know there is a Chinatown in almost every big city, but for me this was my first Chinatown and I was quite impressed. They had some awesome bakeries, restaurants, and more. My favorite place was this crêpe place. If you get a chance to go to Chinatown, go and get a crêpes. You will not be disappointed!

8. Paesano's


If you are looking for awesome sandwiches, go to Paesano's. This place is absolutly fantastic. They have any kind of sandwich you could of think of put on an incredible type of bread. It is located a little outside of downtown but well worth the drive or walk.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
