Universal Studios is a theme park and entertainment resort that everyone should consider visiting. There are so many rides and attractions to experience at this amazing place. Since it is a massive resort, it will get overwhelming trying to figure out what to see. Here are the best attractions that I have personally experienced at Universal Studios.

1. "Harry Potter" and the Forbidden Journey

Anyone who is a fan of the "Harry Potter" books, movies, or in general will love this thrill ride. After exploring the Wizarding World and visiting the many shops in Diagon Alley, this is one exciting and magical adventure that you do not want to miss.

2. Hogwarts Express

Take a ride on the Hogwarts Express to Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade Village. Travel to different shops, get something to eat, go on the rides, and journey through the Wizarding World of "Harry Potter."

3. "Harry Potter" and the Escape from Gringotts

This is another "Harry Potter" themed ride that will take your vacation to new heights. Enter the doors of Gringotts Bank and walk through the beautifully lit corridors. Then hang on tight as you fly through the air and journey through Gringotts in an attempt to escape the dragon. Be sure to check out this ride if you're courageous enough.

4. Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes Shop

Looking for a laugh or a bizarre gift for a friend? This is the place to go for jokes, pranks, gags, and weird stuff. Take a look, you never know what you will find.

5. "Jurassic Park": The Ride

Try not to get scared as you take a ride through the jungles and terrain of Jurassic Park. Observe the dinosaurs and scenery, but watch out for the T-Rex.

6. Revenge of the Mummy

Pass through the darkness and prepare for a fast-paced roller coaster with many turns and drops. Science fiction and horror fans will certainly love the thrills of this ride. Confront the doom in the tomb as you withstand the revenge of the mummy, and be sure to get a souvenir on your way out.

7. Marvel's Super Hero Island

Suit up and head over to Islands of Adventure filled with superhero-themed restaurants and rides. Grab some lunch with friends at the Comic Strip Cafe, Captain America Diner or The Fantastic Four Cafe, and have an action-packed adventure.

8. "Shrek" 4-D

"Shrek" is part of my childhood. I enjoyed watching the films with my family and laughing. Enter this 4-D animated ride for a fast, humorous, and fun experience.

9. "E.T." Adventure

This is one of the favorites at Universal Studios. It is very calming and enjoyable. If you like science fiction movies or "E.T." in particular, this is a ride you will enjoy.

10. Poseidon's Fury

While this is not the most exciting attraction ever, it's still a fun experience. Follow a guide through the ruins of the Temple of Poseidon and witness bursts of fire, laser lights, and eruptions of water as you make your way back to the surface. Everyone should try this ride at least once.

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.
