Why Travel Will Forever Own My Heart
Anna Evseev

I've always been drawn towards traveling because of the excitement and energy that manifests within me. Throughout my life so far I've had the privilege to visit many different countries and states in the United States. I've been to Canada, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Ukraine, Italy, and most recently I visited the Caribbean.

While in the Caribbean, I went to St. Thomas, The Bahamas, Puerto Rico, and The Dominican Republic. Each new country that I visit opens my heart and my mind to that place and makes me want to know everything about it. Traveling is something that I want to be doing until the day I die, and I know that I want to be able to visit every country in the world at least once. Each and every country has a history and an important place in the world.

It's ironic that I hate going on planes, yet I love the rush that I feel at the prospect of going somewhere new. When we get into the air for the first few seconds I feel as if I'm dreaming, it's a truly amazing feeling. The fact that through planes we're able to fly anywhere in the world is a great feeling. In my life, I don't always want to be stagnant and in one place, I want to be exploring... Discovering... Looking through the lens of a whole new world.

Whenever I go to a new place, I always want to try the cities' ethnic foods, see the sites, buy a snow globe, and to be able to walk around the cities that aren't as touristy.

During my most recent vacation, I got to do new things and learned a lot about myself. I went Snorkeling and saw beautiful fish in St. Thomas, saw alligators and crocodiles in Florida, went to Universal Studios in Orlando, went to a Rainforest in Puerto Rico, and many different beaches along the way.

A couple of things I discovered about myself are I love the thrill of adventure and I'm totally okay with not sleeping that much in order to see all that I can possibly see. I practically slept about 4-5 hours every night while on my trip, but I have absolutely no regrets. I had the most amazing time of my life. I know that I am someone who loves traveling and will never lose that energetic fire within me, pushing me to go here, there, and everywhere.

Who knows where my next adventure will be, but I know wherever it'll be... It'll be amazing!

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.
