As a decently well-versed traveler for my age, I constantly find myself procrastinating my schoolwork with more important things — non-existent trips. I love researching, planning and putting new types of trips together. The world is home to so many different travel destinations — whether it's a historical city, or a sprawling beach, here are some beautiful travel destinations you need to incorporate into your next trip:

1. Dinan, France

A historical city in Northwest France, Dinan is loaded with castles, museums and history, and merchants have taken place in the city for more than 700 years. It actually escaped the bombings of the Second World War. Dinan has many traditional French restaurants along the river.

2. Blagaj, Bosnia and Herzegovina

This is where history meets beauty; it's where beautiful monastery lies beneath a cliff next to a natural waterfall. Restaurants line the river that runs through, with beautiful views. There's also a boat ride that takes tourists and locals alike to see the monastery, while stopping at other scenic spots along the way.

3. The Magical Halle Forest, Belgium

This magical forest is covered with Bluebell flowers, and sometimes has a slight fog. I think the picture does all of the work -- how beautiful.

4. The Canola Flower Fields in China

Only available for certain times of the year, the Canola Flower Fields in China can make for a beautiful sight. You can literally see the flowers for miles. They're even referred to as a "golden sea."

5. Anguilla, Caribbean

The beaches in Anguilla stretch miles. Out of all of the islands in the Caribbean, why is Anguilla the perfect one? The beaches are lined with authentic local bars for the most traditional Caribbean experience. You can rock climb, and view other islands from just one. Water sports are one of the most popular activities on the island.

6. Hocking Hills State Park, Ohio

Hocking Hills State Park is made up of unique, beautiful rock formations and waterfalls. The park is nearly 3,500 acres -- perfect for an avid hiker. You can hunt, fish and picnic. There are even water recreation activities. The best part? You can go explore the park for free.

7. Ischia, Italy

Ischia is a small, volcanic island off of Naples. There's a beach with hot springs, the Argonese medieval castle and museums. Admission to activities is also very affordable.

8. Meissen, Germany

Meissen is a small German town with a population of about 30,000. The history is extensive, with a castle being the main focal point of the town. There are markets with traditional German food and knick-knacks.

9. Koh Lipe, Thailand

Koh Lipe is a small island near Malaysia's border. It has waters filled with coral reefs. There are resorts, and bungalows available for stay. There are a large number of sandy beaches that can accommodate many different types of travelers: relaxed, outgoing, etc.

10. Cinque Terre, Italy

Last but certainly not least: Cinque Terre, Italy. Though you may have seen this picture on Pinterest, you may not know anything about this series of magical cities. Cinque Terre literally means "five cities" in Italian. You can pay as little as 10 euros to travel between all five cities — each with its own special Italian flare. In each of the colorful towns, the Mediterranean Sea flows, vineyards are everywhere, little shops line the streets and every inlet is filled with little fishing boats.

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.
