7 Ways To Make The Most Of Your 2020 Winter If You Live In The Poconos
Blue Mountain Resort

The fall and winter time in the Poconos is a beautiful thing everyone should experience. The mountains provide a breathtaking view and the fall colors can enlighten the spirit of even the worst case of the winter blues. The activities that are available in the Poconos range from fun for the kids as well as the parents.

1. Skiing, Snowboarding, or Snow tubing

Not everyone is down to hit the slopes, and that's why I included snow tubing. Skiing and snowboarding are fun to learn and I recommend trying at least one- who knows, you might find a new hobby! There are plenty of places to do any of these- including my favorite, Blue Mountain.

2. Indoor Water Parks

Indoor water parks are a fun time for the whole family. At Camelback resort, the indoor water park is great for the whole family because it includes many fun rides and places for the kids to play and a bar for the adults to relax at. They also have a large hot tub that is half indoors and half outdoors!

3. Ice Skating

If you're looking for something to do with your significant other- ice skating is a great idea! If you're a beginner, you'll have to rely on your partner to catch you when you fall! Tobyhanna State Park is a great place to ice skate.

4. Paintball

If you're up for some challenges- Skirmish Paintball offers a fun time in the snow! Put on some extra cushioning for the snow and paint balls!

5. Roller skating

Roller skating is a great way to be active, listen to some good tunes and have fun! Whether you're with a group or partner, roller skating can be enjoyable whenever and with whoever. Big Wheel is a popular roller skating rink in the Stroudsburg area.

6. A Trip Back in Time At Quiet Valley

Quiet Valley is a fun and educational trip for everyone. The actors at the living historical farm dress and act like colonial people and teach the visors what life was like back in the day.

7. Indoor Go-Karts

Indoor Go-karting at S&S Speedway is the way to go if you're bored on a weekend night! All family members can get a kick out of racing and then the video arcade and pool tables are an added bonus!

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
