3 Simple Things You Should Do On Every Vacation
Vanessa Coelho

For many of us, summertime is a common time to hop on a plane or in the car and set off on vacation. We plan these trips months and weeks ahead of time and when they finally arrive, there are a few things that we should never forget to do while on vacation. Here they are:

1. Take a lot of pictures

Even if you are the type of person who enjoys being in the moment, still take pictures. Pictures are beautiful representations of the memories that you have spent on your vacation. Whether it is just one at the beach and one at the park, you still have something to look back upon. I love taking pictures, which means everywhere I go I always have some type of camera with me. After I get back from where I went, I usually get the pictures developed. With them developed, I can put in albums and view in the future.

2. Read a book

Go somewhere peaceful, pick up a book and just read. I know you are on vacation, but reading is just a small way you can just relax after a long day of traveling. You can do it by the pool or even sit on the beach. If you are somewhere cooler, then just sitting in a small spot in the lobby by a fireplace or a large window is a nice place too.

3. Try a new type of food

It doesn’t have to be something extravagant, just something small. Especially if you are vacationing at a new location. Unless you vacation there often, then what are the chances you will be able to try the cuisine again? If you like it, now you have a new food to add to the list of foods you enjoy. If you don’t like it then, you know to never eat it again.

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.
