The weather is warming up (or so we hope). The days are getting longer, the sunlight a little brighter, and your ambition to adventure is waking up after a long winter of cold, ice, and snow. There is no better way to start exploring than to head into one of the greatest cities on earth: New York. The Big Apple has so much to offer. Here are a few great places to go with your new interest in finally getting out of your dorm room.

1. Central Park

If you’re looking for a relaxing day in the sun, a quiet place to clear your mind, or a perfect picnic location, Central Park is the place to be. It’s wide open spaces in the middle of the bustling city is the perfect place to set your worries free, mingle with friends, and just enjoy the outdoors.

2. The Smith

If you’re looking for a great brunch spot, then this is it. The Smith offers some of the highest quality food in the city and has multiple locations. You can channel your inner Chuck Bass by heading to this somewhat fancy restaurant enjoying Eggs Benedict and some great mac and cheese.

3. Yankee Stadium

Yankee Stadium lies just outside the city in the Bronx. If you’re looking to see great baseball in one of the most historic franchises in the nation, then this is the place for you. Tickets can be found for reasonable prices, and it is a great environment for friends, food, and baseball!

4. Brooklyn Bridge

Trying to exercise more and spend some quality time with friends? Well, head to the Brooklyn Bridge where you can walk the historic architecture, have some great views, and even maybe snag some great pizza and snacks along the way.

5. The Chelsea Market

The Chelsea Market has food, shops, crafts, and so much more. It is the perfect place for dates, girls’ days, or quick get-togethers. Whether you are looking to splurge on cute new outfits or just snag some delicious donuts, the Chelsea Market can fit all of your needs.

New York City has something for everyone. You can enjoy the great outdoors or the fine dining. You can also make some great memories with all types of people. Either way, the springtime calls for adventuring, and where else would you rather adventure than this wonderful city?

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
