1. Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik is a beautiful city on the coast of Croatia with cobblestone roads, gelato stands on every corner, and an astonishing wall that can be climbed around the city.

2. The Beaches


The Croatian beaches are surrounded by beautiful mountains and rocks that stretch out into crystal clear water. In some places, there are even islands that are within swimming reach.


3. Mirogoj Cemetery Zagreb


Zagreb is full of many wonderful things to see, but the Mirogoj Cemetery is one beautiful sight to see. Though it may be a resting place for the dead, it is alive with trees, statues and spectacular architecture that encompasses the entire facility.


4. Traditional Balkan Food (Ćevapi)


This traditional dish is one of Croatia’s many delicious meals to offer. Ćevapi is a sausage dish put inside a pita like bread then grilled with olive oils. It is served with onions and cream, which resembles a mixture that resembles something between butter and sour cream. It is one of Croatia’s most popular dishes.


5. Pula


Pula is a marvelous city with great architectural influences from the Roman Empire, as you can probably see. The Arena dates back to 28 BC.


6. Split


Split is the Pearl of the Mediterranean. It is modern, but it also contains so much history as well. There are markets in the city with strawberries the size of a baseball, and in the center of the city, Roman Emperor Diocletian’s Palace still stands today.

7. Croatian Caves

Croatia is known for their caves. There are twenty-one caves in Croatia all varying in different lengths and depth, and most of them are able to be explored.


8. Plitvice Lakes National Park


Plitvice is a beautiful park with extraordinary waterfalls and lakes where families swim in the spring and summer.


9. Dubrovnik Cathedral


If you stop in Dubrovnik, might as well go see this beautiful baroque church with notable art relating back to Saint Blaise when he was the patron saint of the city.

10. Gelato

Gelato stands are put on every corner during warmer seasons. Croatian Gelato is some of the creamiest, most delicious ice cream for so little money.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
