1. Jeff Davis Skeleton: Ragersville

Located about an hour south of Akron, there is a display of the skeleton of Jeff Davis who made several rape attempts. In 1872, he was beaten by locals, struck over the head with a fire-poker and then shot three times, which did not initially kill him. So locals decided to take Davis to the outskirts of town and finish him off by lynching.

2. Cholera Cemetery: Sandusky

Sandusky is widely known for its theme park, Cedar Point, but many are unaware of the Cholera epidemic that plagued Ohio in 1849. Over 400 Sandusky natives died from the epidemic and the majority were buried this mass grave.

3. Mansfield Reformatory: Mansfield

If you have seen the film "The Shawshank Redemption," then you have seen the Mansfield Reformatory. Also known as the Ohio State Reformatory, it opened its doors in 1896 and housed over 155,000 men until closing in 1990. Today, it attracts tourists and paranormal investigators who believe it is haunted.

4. James A. Garfield Tomb: Cleveland

Assassinated in 1881, the 20th President of the United States' final resting place is located within Lake View Cemetery at the James A. Garfield Monument. What separates this presidential monument from all others is that Garfield's casket along with his wife's are on full display, their bodies resting peacefully inside

5. The Ruppert House: Hamilton

On Easter Sunday 1975, James Ruppert massacred 11 members of his family. They were shot a total of 35 times. Those family members include his mother, brother, sister-in-law, along with eight nieces and nephews ages 4-17. Ruppert called the police three hours after the shooting telling them, "there's been a shooting here."

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.

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.
