With Halloween right around the corner and haunted house attractions opening up in every town, almost everyone is seeking some kind of thrill to experience this season. Any of these five places will be sure to deliver on that.

1. R.M.S Queen Mary- Longbeach, California

This haunted ship was originally a vessel for Hollywood royalty such as Audrey Hepburn, but was short lived for that purpose. It was soon turned into a troopship during WWII. The night of Halloween in 1967 she went on her last voyage and docked in her final resting place of Longbeach, California. Guests are welcome to visit any time of the year and even stay the night in this ship turned hotel but do so at your own risk. People report witnessing tons of paranormal activity, reportedly from deceased crew members that passed from an illness or from freak accidents that occurred on board.

2. The Stanley Hotel- Estes Park, Colorado

Reportedly the inspiration for Stephen King's novel, The Shining, this hotel is considered one of the most active ghost sites in existence. It's said to be haunted by the original owners F.O. and Flora Stanley and anyone can stay overnight if they dare. Some guests report there bags being unpacked, doors opening and closing, and a "haunting" piano tune being played in the background.

3. The Ohio State Reformatory- Mansfield, Ohio

Home to the filming of The Shawshank Redemption, this former prison is rumored to be filled with paranormal activity. It's supposedly haunted by former inmates, the past superintendent and his wife, the previous farm boss, and a family that was murdered outside of the building. This spot is available for guided tours and "paranormal programs" including ghost hunting classes and private paranormal investigations.

4. The Don Cesar Hotel- St. Petersburg, Florida

This beautiful pink palace was created in remembrance of the founders first love but now it's apparently home to the founders ghost. Guests that frequent this hotel report the 5th floor to be the most haunted and a lot of unusual activities occur there specifically.

5. Villisca Axe Murder House- Villisca, Iowa

This real life murder house was the site of multiple killings in 1912. Overnight stays are available but beware; this house is known to have strange sightings and creepy voices can often be heard echoing through the house.

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.
