I have been to New York twice, and I am visiting the "Big Apple" one more time in two weeks. Based on my previous trips, I have created an itinerary of places and things to do that are a must when visiting New York. If you ever get the chance to visit, do no this out on these things!

1. See a Broadway show

I have attended three Broadway shows in New York. They are truly spectacular, so do not miss the opportunity to see a show. I recommend seeing Annie, The Phantom of the Opera, or Beauty and the Beast.

2. Visit Ground Zero

Although I have never been to Ground Zero, I heard it a must do in New York.

3. See the Rockettes perform

New York is known for their Rockettes, and every year they put on a Christmas Spectacular. It is a show you do not want to miss!

4. Go ice skating at Rockefeller Center Plaza

I have been ice skating once before at Rockefeller Center Plaza. Even though ice skating is not my best sport, it is a fun activity to do!

5. Visit the Christmas tree at Rockerfeller Center

Visiting the Christmas tree is classic! if you are visiting New York during Christmas time!

6. Eat at Ellen's Stardust Diner

I have never been to Ellen's Stardust Diner, but I have heard that it is a fun restaurant to go eat. The waiters and waitresses that work there are trying to make it on Broadway, so wheel you are eating a meal, you have the chance to listen to them sing and dance!

7. Visit The Plaza Hotel

The Plaza is an iconic hotel in New York. I have never gotten to stay there, but I have stopped inside to visit and look around, and it is truly beautiful.

8. Visit FAO Schwarz toy store

If you think Toys R Us is a big toy store, think again. This famous toy store has multiple stories in which children and adults can spend hours in discovering all sorts of fancy toys.

9. Go to the Top of the Rock

The Top of the Rock is an activity that you must do! You have the chance to see all of New York from the top of a skyscraper. Although I am not a fan of heights, it is pretty awesome.

10. Shop in Times Square

Who doesn't love shopping? Shopping in Times Square is a must do, and beats any shopping mall I have been to!

Although there are a million things to do in New York, I hope you will try a few of my favorite's the next time you visit!

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
