Reasons to Travel to Greece This Summer

1. First things first, the exchange rate is ridiculous right now. 1 Euro= 1.09 USD. You could not ask for a better conversion and I highly doubt it will stay this low for too much longer. You'll have more than enough money to spend on extra activities and better meals!

2. The beaches have been voted the best in the world by every major travel company: Travel + Leisure, Conde Nast, US Today Travel, etc...

I mean come on, it sells itself.

3. You can't say you've had a gyro until you've been to Greece.

Mouth is watering...

4. Volcanos are active and ready to be scaled.

5. Snorkeling has never been so beautiful

6. Discover where the olympics first originated.

7. Jennifer Aniston is Greek... and gorgeous.

8. Authentic Greek Salads > Coney Island Salad's

9. Vineyards in Santorini are absolutely unlike any other.

Mountains and all.

10. Party in pools at your hotel overlooking the ocean.

11. If you like cheese then you'll be in heaven when you try feta cheese in Greece

Olives are always a plus... but nothing compares to cheese.

12. Greece has some of the best windsurfing in the world. If you've never done it you can easily take lessons on any of the islands.

13. Try a new vodka!

Looks questionable, but you never know.

14. The Greek's love to show their spirit and pride

You know this looks fun.

15. Garten Bar in Crete appears to be the perfect way to spend your night and relax with a cocktail if you ask me.

16. Take a cooking class to learn how to make your favorite meals the right way.

17. See a sunrise

18. ...and a sunset

I don't know about you, but this photo gives me chills.

19. Uncover the largest gorge in Europe called the Pindos Vikos Gorge

Or the Samaria Gorge

20. Meet Greek Men....

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.
