This was the most wonderful thing I've done all year!

Steps to an Amazing Mini-Vacation
mayum_s

Step 1: Take flight! (I took my first flight from Louisville to Orlando. It was amazing! I hated landing, though. My ears hurt like crazy! Advice from my friend Sarah: Drink lots of water next time.)

Step 2: Eat absurdly expensive meal #1.

Step 3: Walk the Boardwalk and see the side shows. (We got to see a 3 act magic show and 3 act street show. They were absolutely hilarious, and perfect (unplanned) timing for us to see both!)

Step 4: Go to Universal Studios, both parks! (Even if it means Nick left me and I got to hang out with his sister. Diagon Alley is worth it because Step 5. . .)

Step 5: Is to eat and drink all the things! (Finally fulfilled my dreams of eating a pumpkin pasty :D Still didn't care for butterbeer but it's a must anyway :p)

Step 6: Eat more food when done with Universal! (Disney knows where it's at. By it, I mean my money hahaa... Food is worth!)

Step 7: After all that walking at Universal, don't give up yet! Epcot is next on the list. (Epcot is amazing! I hadn't been in ten years and didn't even realize how incredible it is until now. I'd say this was my favorite part for many reasons.)

Step 8: Food and Wine Fest. Means even more food, and wine. (Perfect timing for my 21st in August :))

Step 9: Spend nearly 3 hours in Epcot Japan. (I love anime, I love Japanese stuff, I loved Epcot Japan. I was in a crazy happy place where I wanted to buy all the things. I settled for a few, and souvenirs for my people. But I seriously could've bought all the things!)

Step 10: Eat the most expensive meal yet in Epcot Germany. (This is actually the first time we spent over $100 on a meal for just the two of us! It was a buffet filled with German food. Think meats, mostly. I don't know how much I ate, and even if I did... I wouldn't tell you!)

Step 11: Continue to fall in love with Epcot. (Here is part of Epcot China. But literally everywhere in Epcot is a picturesque scene, and many wonderful surprises.)

Step 12: Stay for the Fireworks!! (They really, really know how to put on a show. Just try not to stand on the side the wind is blowing towards. We got covered with ash and smoke. Whoops!)

Step 13: Fly back home after an amazing mini vacation. Don't forget to drink lots of water beforehand! (I didn't forget, and it made the landing better :) Thanks Sarah!)

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.
