What To Never Ever Forget When Travelling

Here is what I absolutely need in my handbag and suitcase.

What To Never Ever Forget When Travelling
Sadaf Mehdi

It's getting warmer here in NYC and that means travel season is back. My family and I are headed to India for my older sister's wedding and with it being the first wedding in our family, there is almost no end to the things we need to pack along with us for the trip. Here's a list of things to remember to bring along with you when travelling abroad:

1. Plug Adapter

Let's face it: even though it's a vacation, you'll have tons of work to catch up on for school or for your job. So you'll need to have a converter to charge your cellphone and laptop. Make sure you get the right ones for each depending on where you're travelling to!

2. A Big Travel Mug

If like me, you just can't forget the taste of American water for five weeks, then you must bring a mug to drink bottled water from. (You never know if the bottles there are clean or not.)

3. Mints, Gums, Or Some Mouth Refreshments

These are especially important if you experience travel sickness, or don't have time to brush your teeth on the airplane!

4. Earbuds

Hard to find where I'm from in India, but these are the one item that I cannot stand not using after taking a shower. I like knowing that my ears are going to be squeaky clean.

5. Hand Sanitizer

Whether you're eating outside in a restaurant or at home where you're staying, you need clean hands so you don't catch any germs. Happy eating!

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.
