It's a beautiful day outside, or perhaps a rather chilly one. Either way, the weather calls for you to collect your friends and spend the day in the big city. Your intention is likely to create some memories and have fun. But have you ever thought of internal feelings when it comes to going into the city life for a day?

If you're traveling to a city such as Boston, Massachusetts, you are likely entering via train. This is a much more sensible mode of transportation for going into Boston, considering that there are not many place to park without having to pay dozens of dollars to use a garage. At the first thoughts, you'd definitely like to use your car - you'd have the freedom to drive all around the city without having to walk. However, taking the train has more benefits than you might think. For one thing, you're not going to have to worry about getting stuck in the city traffic; but let's forget about the cars.

You get to the train platform after paying the fare. At that very moment, everything is peaceful. Other than people quietly talking with each other, there is really not too much to be heard. It gives you the opportunity to live in your mind - to think about the best things in life, or perhaps what would you like to forget about. No matter what your mindset is, you are still preparing to embark on a journey to a beloved city.

Now, the train arrives and the sound of its cars stopping at the platform represent the beginning of the adventure. Everything becomes even more positive from that point. You take a much more fascinating ride through the towns and cities leading to your destination; it's change from being on the road to kind of cutting through the land via railroad. All of the sights you see remarkable, from beautiful skies, notable buildings, land water, and anything from the outdoors that you can possibly think of. Regardless of what you feel, you will likely find a way to put a smile on your face.

You've reached your destination. There's all sorts of things you can do in the city, such as going to eat, having drinks at a bar, going to a museum, embarking on a tour, or even just sightseeing. Whatever it is that you choose to do, you find some peace. The people are strolling along with smiles, couples are holding hands, the skyscrapers are quite a sight, and the attractions that are all bunched up together are endless.

When you decide to spend a day in a big city, think to yourself about why you're here. No other setting could be better.

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.
