I've traveled quite a bit throughout my life so far, but sports road trips are always my favorite. There are lots of historic sporting history scattered throughout the country that is definitely worth the gas, stress, and money.

Louisville, Kentucky

There are multiple cool sports experiences around the city, including Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby (come on 11!), the Muhammed Ali Museum, and the Louisville Slugger factory. Also, the Cincinnati Reds triple-a affiliate is based in Louisville, the Louisville Bats. If there's anything I can get behind, it's an entire factory of baseball bats.

Atlanta, Georgia

Many wouldn't expect Atlanta to be as large of a sports capital that it is, but the city is a sports heaven. The Centennial Olympic Park is a reminder of the 1996 summer Olympics and is a vast park in the middle of the city. Atlanta also hosts the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl every January, inside the famed Georgia Dome, which is also the home of the Atlanta Falcons. The College Football Hall of Fame is located in downtown and is three stories of football heaven.

New York


This one is very well known, but the city is the biggest sports market in the world. Citi Field, home of the New York Mets, is one of the nicest ballparks in the league (big fan of Mr. Met). There's also Madison Square Garden, which is one of the most significant sporting locations in the world. Yankee Stadium and MetLife Stadium also provide a solid atmosphere for vital teams to their respective leagues. The MLB is also headquartered in New York. The US Open (tennis) and the Belmont Stakes also take place in New York.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

You won't want to forget your passport for this one. The NHL is headquartered in Toronto, which is also the home to the most successful original six franchise in the NHL, the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Hockey Hall of Fame is also located in the city and is a must for all hockey fans. The Toronto Blue Jays and Raptors also create a fun atmosphere for any sports fan.

Boston, Massachusetts

As much as I don't like the Boston Bruins, the city is well-known for being a sports paradise. The New England Patriots are just a short distance away, and Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, is a baseball fans' dream. The Bruins and Celtics also split use of TD Garden Arena, and are always successful and make deep runs into the playoffs.

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.
