6 Towns in New York to Visit for the Day​ by Car

Since COVID is still yet to leave our lives, people can't do certain things like go to the movies, the museums anymore. So many of us should take the chance to go places where there aren't that many people and explore.

While in these places or traveling in general, please remain safe; maintain social distancing requirements, try to avoid staying inside places for long periods of time, and most importantly, wash your hands when you go outside.

1. Owego:

This is a cute little town about 20-30 minutes from Binghamton NY. My boyfriend and I have gone there just recently to look at the antique stores. It is getting a little colder now, so try to go now before it gets colder.

2. Ithaca:

Even though it's getting colder outside, there is still a chance to catch the changing leaves. Also, Ithaca is a nice town that is right next to Cornell University.

3. Roosevelt Island:

I have gone many times to Roosevelt Island when I am at home. It is beautiful during the summer and it is still nice even in the winter. One of my good friends from high school also lives there which is mainly why I go there.

5. Tarrytown/Sleepy Hollow:

When I was younger, I used to go with my family to Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow in October and it was beautiful. All the trees changing color and also the spooky atmosphere when you get into Sleepy Hollow (or at least I liked to pretend it was) is a great place to go especially now in the fall.

6. Corning:

This is another place that is more upstate but also a cute town. However, this place is best known for glass making. I went here when I was a kid and it was amazing. I am not sure if you can still see glass making, however, the town has plenty of shops and is right near a harbor.

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.
