9 Places You Must See When Traveling To Paris, France:

9. Musee D'orsay: Many may say "why isn't The Lourve on here?" In my opinion, the Musee D'orsay is an amazing art museum. Yes, I do agree that seeing the pyramids outside of The Lourve is a cool experience but as a whole, the Musee D'orsay gives you a different feel to an art museum. The artists that are presented include Claude Monet, Charles De Gaus, Vincent Vangogh, and many more. P.S. If you are more artsy than I am, this may be higher on your list!


8. Champs Elysees: For all the high end shoppers out there, you must visit this one of a kind street. Walking down the avenue you can see the Arc De Triomphe standing above the trees. The first Louis Vuitton, or flagship store is on this street. They have many stores that are name brand, and will definitely fit your fancy if you love shopping!


7. Luxembourg Gardens: The Luxembourg Gardens are where the true Parisans hangout on a typical night for a picnic or gathering with their friends. I didn't spend much time here because this was my first day in Paris, but once I saw everything else, I thought it was a wonderful place for the public


6. Latin Quarter: The Latin Quarter was always a fun and happening place. If you want to go out on the town and see the night life, I would recommend here. They have many restaurants, bars, and souvenir shops. The bookstore, "Shakespeare and Company" is located in the quarter. I visited the Latin Quarter many times for the cafes and the tourist watching

.


5. Eiffel Tower: Of course, the notorious Eiffel Tower. This is something to do just so you can say, "I have been to the top of the Eiffel Tower." Many may think that the top is where the best views of Paris may be, but actually the first and second levels have the best views. Yes, there are three different levels of the Eiffel Tower. On the third level, Gustave Eiffel actually had an apartment, and this is where Thomas Edison showed his phonograph to Eiffel. They have wax figures of the two sitting in a closed room at the very top.


4. Love Lock Bridge: If you are traveling with someone you love or care about, you must put a love lock on one of the many bridges they have! I placed mine on the bridge closest to Notre Dame. They do have an original love lock bridge but literally every bridge that is allowed to have locks does.


3. Versailles Chateau Garden: King Louis XIV definitely had exquisite taste, with the gold outlining his entire palace. His gardens were even better than the palace. During my visit, I went on a Saturday. On Saturdays, they run the fountains from 11:00 am - 12:00 pm and 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm. Music also plays while the fountains are running. If you want to make Versailles a full day, they do fireworks and have a fountain show at night from June - September. The best fountains to see are closet to the Chateau. On the Grand Canal, you can rent a kayak but I would do this after hours because this is not apart of the gardens next to the Chateau.


2. Napoleons Tomb: Napoleon Bonaparte has the most thrilling tomb I have ever seen. He is buried under a large golden dome along with many other army generals and officials in their own separate rooms. I have never felt a feeling of sensation and chills walking into a historical sight but I did when I walked in here. I could just feel the spirit of Napoleon ruling France.


1. Notre Dame: This church is like no church you have ever seen before. I'm sure most of you have heard of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." People from Paris actually volunteered to build this massive masterpiece in the 1100s, and due to that, they would form a hunchback. During my visit, I got to see the supposed crown of thorns. The service was amazing and I felt pretty lucky to get to see that because they only show the crown on the first Friday of every month and on good Friday.

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.
