Saint Louis, Missouri is what most people would consider "flyover country". However, it is actually pretty nice here and we just won the Stanley Cup so to many we have been put on the map. I could go on and on about all the places to visit and food to eat but that would probably bore many. So I have come up with a condensed list of seven that covers most of the bases.

1. Ted Drewes Frozen Custard

Grace Kennard

Celebrities from all over have come to try this world famous ice cream. The custard is so thick that you can hold your cup upside down and it won't fall out. Seriously amazing. My favorite is the Smores concrete.

2. The Arch

Ok duh. I would say if you have never been to the top and you never plan to come back to Saint Louis ever again do it. But really if you don't you're not missing out on a lot. It's a very cool view but the Arch grounds itself is nice to just walk around and explore.

3. Tropical Moose Shaved Ice

If you are here in the summer this is a must do. They have tons of flavors and you can mix as many as you like. My favorite is Pink Champagne Fizz with nerds.

4. Forest Park

The bigger, better Central Park...yes I said it. The Zoo is free and amazing, Art Hill is a perfect spot for a picnic, the Boathouse offers kayaks and paddleboats for rental, there are two golf courses, the Muny (an outdoor live theater), and honestly so many other things to discover for yourself. It's beautiful and most of it is free so it is a perfect way to spend a nice day outside.

5. So Many Amazing Restaurants I Can't Name Them All

I am not exaggerating. There are so many different restaurants that must be tried when visiting Saint Louis it probably can't be done in a couple days.

6. Imos Pizza

Saint Louis style pizza. It's delicious. Just don't knock it until you try it.

7. Toasted Ravioli

Fried ravioli. Seriously...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.
