The Cheetah Girls Lied to Us About Barcelona

The Cheetah Girls Lied to Us About Barcelona
Genius.com

A week ago, me and some of my fellow classmates traveled to Barcelona, Spain. I honestly knew nothing about the city before we left except 1) they speak Spanish and 2) The Sagrada Familia. And the only reason I knew about the second item was because of The Cheetah Girls 2. While basing my entire experience on the song "Strut" (and others), I discovered that the movie made everything seem a lot easier to get to.

1. During the song "Strut", the Cheetah Girls are skipping down the street La Rambla in all their glory. And then they jump to Park Guell which is a huge park up on the top of a hill. Well we were expecting to be able to get to the park very easily. But that did not happen because we discovered it was a 50 minute walk from La Sagrada Familia.

2. Random guys with guitars do not follow you around in uncrowded streets.

3. It was so hot there and meanwhile, the Cheetah Girls are making it look like they never break a sweat.

4 The Dancing Cat is not a real place where we can watch people perform fabulous songs like "Step Up".


5. You have to pay to get into Park Guell (well at least the mosaic part created by Antonio Gaudi). The Cheetah Girls made it look like you could just walk right up those stairs and strut your stuff.


But even though it may not have been what I was expecting, it was still an awesome time!

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.
