I do not directly live in the city, but I do live to visit it and go sight-seeing or window-shopping. I usually go out to so I can see and meet different kinds of people. I like walking to places and seeing new attractions. These attractions can be anything as exciting as a new campaign advertisement for a huge blowout sale at one of my favorite clothing stores. I am used to living with constant noise and rushing to places. However, I had to change my usual way of living for a couple of days. Visiting family members in a different state that is known for its calm environment filled with wildlife and trees sounds nice at first, but once you get there and there’s barely anything to do but watch TV and eat peanut-butter sandwiches, your head starts to hurt. Your head hurting is one of the first stages to losing your mind. The next stage, which I would like to call: The Frozen Stage, involves me staying completely still on the couch for hours and not making any major movements. The third stage, which is also the final stage, involves me completely enjoying everything, including the view and my family, and feeling totally relaxed. Here are some reasons you should take a short break in a quiet and secluded area with a huge wildlife scenery, if you are a typical city person:

1) The scenery is beautiful.

If you play close attention to the scenery, you start to notice the different shapes that the stars make at night and the perfectly-formed trees that surround the houses.

2) The quiet is relaxing.

For a short while, you start to appreciate being able to her yourself. You start to gain your own sense of self again.

3) Your family is awesome.

You start to appreciate your family when you spend a lot of time with them.

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.
