You Only Need 7 Reasons To Love Miami

Once I moved away from Miami, I realized the real beauty of my city and how much advantage I used to take of living in Miami.

1. Weather

Where else can you have summer during all four seasons? Right here! Although the “Sunshine State” isn’t always so sunny, I wouldn’t trade my rainy, humid days for a snowstorm any day.

2. Culture

Once I moved away from Miami, I realized that this is probably one of the few cities that are so diverse in culture. In Miami you can find people from all over the world, which is what makes Miami, Miami. You never know what you are going to get, like a game of roulette, which is, what is so interesting.

3. Food

With culture, comes food. Being the food-savvy girl that I am, once I left Miami, I realized eating sushi one day, Cuban food the next, and Mexican food the following day was not a normal thing. In Miami, you can pretty much find anything you are looking for, without going too far either—yay!

4. Scenery

Whether its strolling down Ocean Drive, taking pictures at the Wynwood Walls, or driving down Calle Ocho, there is always something to see. Miami is filled with beautiful decor ranging from tall, green palm trees to street art on the side of the turnpike to art galleries on Lincoln Road, all distinct, all beautiful.

5. The Beach

With great weather, comes beach weather. Miami is a city where you can go to Miami Beach 365 days a year. It is safe to say that before I moved away from Miami, I took advantage of our beautiful beaches. Going to the beach can be an every day thing for any occasion.

6. Beauty

Not bragging, but not only is Miami a beautiful city, its people are beautiful as well. Whenever people vacation in Miami, the first thing they always comment on is how pretty and nice everyone looks. Whether its women or men, everyone holds themselves to a high standard, which again, makes Miami, Miami! (This does not account for the rudeness factor that 95% of us “Miamians” have, sorry.)

7. Bragging rights

I know every person that lives in Miami LOVES saying, “I’m from Miami”. We just love it. We also love the saying “I live where you vacation” and other cheesy sayings, but they are all true. We love our beautiful city, so you will just have to deal with all the bragging, it will never end!


These are just a few reasons why I love Miami and why I love calling this beautiful, cultured city home. Although I get asked everyday why I left Miami, I now appreciate my city and can't wait to be back home!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.
