5 Dream Vacation Destinations

"I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list." - Susan Sontag

5 Dream Vacation Destinations

Okay, so if you know me even a little bit, you know that I have caught the travel bug. I love visiting new places, domestic or international, exploring and seeing different cultures. So as I’m sitting at home searching for jobs to apply to (yay real world!) I find myself dreaming of being somewhere far away with no worries. So without further ado, here are five of my dream vacation destinations.

1. Mykonos, Greece

When I saw the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants when I was 11, I knew that I wanted to go to Greece. A few years later, during my Keeping Up With The Kardashians phase I saw them go to Mykonos (and Santorini) and I knew that’s where I wanted to go in Greece.

2. The Grand Canyon, USA

One of my goals in life is to visit all 50 states in the US. As of today, I’ve been to 23, mostly on the east coast but I’d love to visit the western states and see the Grand Canyon. And maybe even do the super-touristy thing and stand at Four-Corners and check four states off my list at once!

3. Rome, Italy

Another place on my list fueled by a movie from my childhood. Thanks, Lizzie McGuire. But in all seriousness, Rome is somewhere I’d love to go and spend two weeks exploring and of course eating lots of authentic Italian food and gelato.

4. Turks and Caicos

Well, I think the white sand and crystal clear turquoise water kind of speaks for itself.

5. Edinburgh, Scotland

Having spent three months in the UK, I’m kicking myself for not taking a weekend trip here, but now I have an excuse to go back. Like a lot of European cities, Edinburgh is a modern, bustling city but is also filled with rich history. Oh and there’s a pretty sweet castle there too.

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.
