I get it, you're broke but you still want to travel and explore around. I'm no travel expert but living in the Seattle region has provided me the experience and knowledge to adventure this beautiful city, without breaking the bank. Today I will guide you into the heart of this coast city at an affordable and cheap cost.

1. Pike Place Market

The greatest attraction Seattle has to offer has to be the Pike Place Market. From the vibrant fish market to the quirky vendors, this market is located in the heart of Seattle. You know what the best part about this place is though? It's absolutely free to look, smell, and explore! From taking pictures at the gum wall, strolling down the beautiful waterfront at no expenses from your pocket has to be a miracle. A food tip from a local: don't waste your time by waiting in line for some clam chowder. The one inside the market is a tourist trap and a stagnant hell. Travel down to Pacific Place next to Westlake Center for the same brand, taste, and price without the long wait!

2. Alki Beach

In my opinion, Alki beach is the supreme king of all beach parks in Seattle. From the beautiful coastline to the amazing food, this place has it all! I think the greatest attraction of Alki beach has to be the rentals. At a cheap price around 15 bucks an hour, you can rent from all assortments of vehicles such as bikes, longboards, skateboards, etc.

3. Where to eat?

Now, Seattle is rising to be one of the top foodie culture cities in the world, from fresh seafood to all variety of cuisines. I will be writing a separate article for some of my favorite restaurants but I wanted to suggest this place for their cheap and delicious burgers; Rain City Burgers. This joint is located just above the University of Washington and has prices that are on par with some of its fast-food competitors. Voted one of Eater Seattle's top cheap places to eat, this burger joint will provide a classic and savory taste that will represent Seattle in the most delicious way!

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.
