What Vegas Taught Me

"Las Vegas is a 24-hour city. It never stops."

What Vegas Taught Me

Reflecting on the weekend that I had, I have learned some new life lessons, thanks to Las Vegas and my best friends. I spent Wednesday though Sunday in Nevada and I came to find out that the city is not for me. Large crowds, and half naked people make me nervous and overwhelmed. I wanted to write this article to reflect and share some of the memories with friends and family about my trip, so here it is:

1. I turned 21 last week, and I feel no different other than the fact that I can LEGALLY drink! I still feel like a teenager who is trying to find their place in life.

2. I saw a lot of strange people. From Elvis, to a naked 78 year old man dressed as a baby, strange.3. I zip-lined through Fremont Street, and I found out that I love heights even more than I thought. Next time I go, I want to zip-line from the Rio Hotel, which is 50 stories tall :)

4. I don't like to gamble. I gambled on the way home from the airport and lost five dollars. I felt sad that I will never get those five dollars back, ever again.

5. There are so many beautiful buildings in Vegas. My favorite was inside the Bellagio Resort with all of the flowers and sculptures.

6. Being in Vegas during night time is very different than being in Vegas during the day. Waking up and looking outside to see the desert is very contradicting because at night, the state is nothing but a huge party.

7. My moms and her friends are the funniest people alive, along with Hayley of course. I have never laughed so hard in my life until I was with these woman! Thanks again for great trip. P.S. They can still party, trust me.

8. A man free styled about me and it was one of my favorite memories of the trip.

9. No matter what type of shoes you wear, your feet will always end up hurting.

10. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas is a real saying ;)

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.
