10 Reasons Tennessee Should Be The Next Destination On Your Travel Bucket List

Feel like going on a vacation with your family or friends? Don't have the time and money to travel outside of the U.S.? Well, it's time you think outside of the box of California, New York, and Florida. In fact, one of the best states I have ever traveled to was the great state of Tennessee, and yes, I've traveled to California, New York, Florida, and various other U.S. states, but my heart still travels back to Tennessee. I've come to love the beautiful state for many reasons I've come up with ten reasons why Tennessee should be on your bucket list!

1. Friendly people

Something in the air in Tennessee must make the people happy. On my travels to the state, I have always encountered kind personalities.

2. Delicious food

Comfort food is always the move. It can't get any better than BBQ, mac and cheese, and cornbread.

3. Gorgeous views

The Great Smoky Mountains is a breathtaking and peaceful view to gaze at with lush greens and streaming water.

4. Adventures

If you think you can handle it, Tennessee has tumultuous rapids where you and your friends and family can raft through. Also, you can take the adventure on foot by hiking through the mountains encountering black bears.

5. Party scene

Nashville the up and coming place to let loose and have fun. Forget Las Vegas.

6. Live entertainment

Do a comedy show, professional singers, and dancers performing while you eat sound better than dinner in front of the tv? I think so.

7. Theme parks

Ever heard of Dolly Parton? Well, the iconic country star has a theme park and water park called Dollywood where the fun never ends.

8. Wildlife

If you're lucky you'll encounter black bears, bald eagles, antelopes, and more.

9. Rich history

Tennessee is home to major events through history like the civil war, the making of the Grand Ole Opry, country music, Graceland, and Martin Luther King Jr.'s death.

10. Iconic music

If you appreciate the king of rock and roll, country music, jazz, blues, and soul, Tennessee is the place for you!

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.
