3 Reasons Mexico Is More Than Just Paradise Beaches
Arleth Uranga

Mexico is a beautiful country that either gets a lot of hate or a lot of love. Whether you love it or hate it, the truth is that this country is beautiful, but we mostly only hear about all the "touristy" spots, and, yes they are great, but Mexico is so much more than that.

We know of Cabo, Cancun, Tulum, and many other typical tourist attractions and trust me, these places are beautiful, but you're missing out on the rest of Mexico. These are all pictures from Chihuahua, the largest state of Mexico. Come with me for a virtual tour of Chihuahua!

1. Chihuahua, Mexico

It is a desert state so, unfortunately, there are not many great photo ops of clear blue beaches, but you get some great pictures of other stuff such as beautiful mountains and even more mountains. I actually really enjoy this view! It really is beautiful, at least for me.

2. Food

We can all agree that Mexican food is amazing, but in Mexico, it's even better because you can get huge drinks for 20 pesos (which is about $1 US dollar.)

I KNOW! It's cool! The horchata was delicious and it was huge. Before you ask, yes it was important to get that big drink for $1; it would be a sin if I didn't actually get it.

Also, when I saw the street vendor selling coconuts with limes all I could think of was, "You put the lime in the coconut and drink em' both up!"

3. Pools

There is this place in Chihuahua called Julimes and it has rows and rows of pools so people can cool off in the summer, and honestly, it is the best.

You get slides, natural hot waters, and other stuff. You'd think that it would be expensive, but it's only $9 per person! The hot spring water is boiling hot but it is clear, and it is known to be very, very, very, relaxing. (Yes the second picture is of the geothermal waters.)

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.
