Why Life Is Better At The Beach

Some people prefer mountains, deserts, or woods…but the beach is where I belong. The ocean is an immediate stress reliever. Hearing the waves crash, sticking your toes in the sand, all while getting a tan is literally the best thing ever. As soon as I breathe in that salty air and feel that ocean breeze in my hair I instantly become more calm and never want to leave. The truth is, life is simply better at the beach. And that’s a fact.

The beach is full of endless possibilities, even though it’s literally just sand and salt water. I feel like it’s just impossible to be bored at a beach. Build sand castles and sand art, work on your tan, swim in the ocean, even walk the boardwalks if your favorite beach has one. There is always something to do and it’s always relaxing.

“Hi my name is (insert name here) and I like long walks on the beach”. Is this not true for everyone though?! Just picture the waves crashing around your feet and the sun setting on the water. There’s nothing more relaxing. Whether you’re with some friends or family, significant other, or even just enjoying the scene by yourself, there’s nothing more peaceful than the things that surround you at the beach.

Growing up on the east coast, the beach was my favorite part of the summer. No matter what, memories are made at the shore. With all the treasures you find, exploring the rocky coast of the Northeast, laying on a blanket in the warm sand, and the people you spend that time with leaves you with memories that last a lifetime.

When the stress gets to you or you simply just feel like relaxing, the beach should be at the top of your list. Relaxation is inevitable once you see sight of the shore. The ocean is calling, and you must go.

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.
