10 Places To Visit This Summer In The Bay

It's summer and the one thing that's bad about it is that we find ourselves getting bored, and wishing to go back to college to be with friends and party. But being home for this long isn't all that bad, you just have to find things to keep busy with and on your feet! If you live in the bay area or you're planning on visiting, here are ten places you should visit when you're here. These are the top tourist destinations for Summer 2016!

1. San Francisco Museum of Modern Art

The new SFMOMA recently opened in May 2016 and you visit if you are ever in San Francisco. SFMOMA has amazing art and exhibits that you just can't miss out on!

2. Pace Gallery

The Pace Gallery is located in Palo Alto and it is a new launch of its Pace Art + Technology Program has been a popular destination this summer. The exhibitions are not only a great sight to see but also awesome for a photo op!

3. Golden Gate Bridge

Even if you live in the Bay Area the Golden Gate Bridge is never a place you would get tired of visiting or seeing. Not only is it a staple tourist destination, the view is amazing and it just represents the city of San Francisco.

4. Garden of Eden

The Garden of Eden is a great place to be at this summer. Located in Santa Cruz, you'll find yourself going on a little adventure. There are places where you can lay out in the sand, go swimming, and so much more.

5. Big Sur


Big Sur is a little bit of a stretch from the Bay, but it's worth it. There are so many oceans, views, and state parks to go exploring there.

6. Dolores Park

Another gem of San Francisco. It's a great place to just lay out a blanket, watch the clouds, have a picnic, listen to music, and whatever else you want to do!

7. Fisherman's Wharf

A historical attraction by the heart of the city, a place that's outstanding in the daytime for seafood, views, museums right on the pier, or even watching the sea lions.

8. Lands End


One of the many parks in San Francisco that is great for a daytime hike.

10. Union Square

It's the heart of San Francisco with hundreds of restaurants to eat at and stores to shop at!

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.

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.
