My European Adventure

Whoever said traveling was boring must not be doing it right.

Whoever said traveling wasn't the best experience of your life was seriously mistaken. For the last two weeks I was traveling to both London, England and Rome, Italy, and let me tell you, it was the best two weeks of my life.

For the first few days, we were in London. We went sightseeing at places like Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and many others. I have always seen these famous places in pictures but never understood how grand they all are. They all looked beautiful and it was just so breathtaking to see.


After London, we hopped over to Rome. Let me tell you, Rome is beautiful. The sun was shining and was scorching hot, but it was so worth it. Buildings and little stores are all crammed together on little roads, and you can walk practically everywhere. The Trevi Fountain was the most breathtaking monument I saw, especially lovely at night when it's all lit up and the water sparkles. Fresh Italian food was amazing, ranging from pasta to Nutella flavored gelato (My vacation obsession).

We went back to London for the last few days of our vacation, and I saw even more than I did at the beginning! We went downtown to one of the oldest cathedrals in London, Southwark Cathedral, dating back to before the 1100s! Most of the original pieces of the church's architecture were there, although some parts of stone had to be updated. The most amazing memory I have of this trip was randomly breaking into song in the church with my family. When we sang together, the sound just filled up the whole room and echoed, making it sound like Heaven's gates were opening up. We sang inspirational oldies that hopefully brought peace to the people around us.

Lastly, we of course had to see all the spots for the Harry Potter movies. I even took a picture on Platform 9 3/4!


This trip was the best vacation I've ever had, and I cannot wait until I am able to go back!

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.
