Aviation - it's everywhere. You see it most commonly with airplanes, although many things like birds and child's toys are classified under the category of aviation. As for aviation lovers, we are most commonly fascinated with airplanes and helicopters.

So what is it that makes these ginormous flying machines so intriguing? As an aviation lover myself, there are so many things that factor into this. I always wonder just how these huge Airbusses and Boeings are able to stay afloat so high in the air. The engineering behind these big planes is incredible. Not to mention, the view from 40,000 feet in the air. The first time I flew was when I was 5 years old, and I remember all of it. It was one of the best things that happened in my childhood. The fast and exhilarating take off is every aviation lovers' dream. You quickly start getting higher and higher as you're able to see more of planet earth below you. It's not only the flying that enthuses is aviation lovers, it's how the airplanes themselves look. Just seeing an airplane on the ground is enough to get our hearts racing, whether it's a smaller Cessna or a bigger commercial plane, they all give us a moment of "wow" and we can't help but stop and admire its beauty. Although I haven't flown in 13 years, it's such a passion of mine to fly again, hopefully sometime soon! Back to skies I go!

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.
