11 Of The Best Things To Do In NYC
Kali Mondor

Last week I had the amazing opportunity to visit one of my friends in New York City. Before this, I had only been to the city once before so I was beyond excited. Even though I was only in the city for a couple of days, we explored basically everything you can see in Manhattan. I had so much fun on my trip that I decided to make a list of everywhere I went!

1. Empire State Building

Can you really visit NYC without going to the Empire State Building? Also, if you are trying to avoid lots of crowds, go during the winter - we didn't have to wait in any lines!

2. Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum

While the wax museum can be a little pricy, my friend and I found a coupon from Groupon that let us go to the wax museum and other attractions for a really good price! This museum is so much fun because you basically get to see your favorite celebrities in person.

3. Central Park

Central Park is really pretty, and it definitely felt good to walk around a place that wasn't a busy street crowded with people.

4. Museum of Natural History

There is so much to see here, and it gives you a perfect excuse to rewatch Night at the Museum!

5. Times Square

Times Square is another spot you can't skip. Seeing all of the lights, cars and people all at once is unbelievable in person.

6. Museum of Modern Art

This museum is filled with fascinating pieces. My favorite part was the modern fashion section that included art pieces that analyzed current trends such as Patagonia sweatshirts and Nike sneakers.

7. Charging Bull on Wall Street

Did you the bull in this sculpture weighs 7,000 pounds?

8. Fashion Institute of Technology

If there are any Project Runway fans out there reading this article, you will understand why FIT and Mood Fabrics are destinations you must go to if visiting NYC!

9. Brooklyn Bridge

My friend and I got to walk onto the bridge and the views were amazing. You could see the entire city from a new angle, and you could see the Statue of Liberty from the middle of the bridge!

10. Bryant Park

The park itself is a really cool place to see, but this is also a prime location to view the Statue of Liberty from land!

11. Rockefeller Center

Did you know that you can go ice skating outside of the Rockefeller Center during the winter?

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.
