In light of the Eagles finally winning a Super Bowl I feel as though everyone needs to know why Philadelphia is the best city. Sure, it may have a bad reputation in a few ways, but the pros out weigh the cons when it comes down to it.

1. It's filled with US history!

Mostly everything that made this country what it is started in Philadelphia! Even the Declaration of Independence was signed here!

2. We have the most passionate sports fans.

Our fans are known for being rowdy, and at sometimes disrespectful. When it really comes down to it our fans have a lot of heart. We certainly get frustrated when we lose, but we will remain die hard fans.

3. It's hard to be bored.

The amount of bars, restaurants, tourist stops, and concert venues make it hard to find something to do.

4. We're known for our cheesesteaks.

Tired of mediocre pizza shop steaks? Just take a trip to Philly and stop at one of the many popular spots!

5. The Reading Terminal Market.

This place has everything from food, to clothes, and even a book store. Some of the popular stops are Bassets Ice Cream, Termini Brothers Bakery, Beilers Donuts, and DiNic's.

6. The Art Museum is comparable to the Met and the Louvre.

It houses many iconic paintings from the most influential artists.

7. Boathouse Row.

This place is so beautiful. It's lit up at night, and has a great view of the art museum.

8. The Philadelphia Zoo.

This place is huge,and houses almost every animal you can think of. It's also America's first zoo!

9. Wawa.

Who doesn't love the best convince store?

10. We know our city is the best.

We take pride in having the best city in the world, and we hope you will too.

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.
