10 Reasons New Hampshire Is The Best State In New England

1. Mount Washington has the highest wind speed ever recorded by man! It was recoded at 231 mph in 1934. Better bring your wind breakers if you want to survive the top of this mountain.

2. We have the best foliage around the U.S. leaf peepers travel hundreds of miles just to see our foliage. Sure, other states have nice foliage, but we have the Cannon mountain tram which brings you to the top of Cannon to see the most amazing foliage in the peak of Autumn.

3. Mount Monadnock sees around 125,000 climbers yearly which makes it the second most climbed mountain in the world!

4. We are known for having the best fireworks display in all of New England, thanks to Atlas Fireworks who puts their show on yearly in southern NH.

5. NO SALES TAX! We don't have to wait around for random weekends for sales tax free weekends, we have no sales tax year round and it is the best thing ever! We are one of only four states can boast about this amazing part of our state, but were the only ones in New England.

6.. We have the choice of helmet or no helmet, seatbelt or no seatbelt. Car insurance is optional to, we are in charge of our own lives and there is nothing more freeing than that... "Live Free or Die" right?

7. Hampton, NH is home to the best sandcastles in New England and everyone knows that.

8. We are known as a one of the most important swing states, so we see a lot of Presidential rallies during election years, because they want us to swing their way (;

9. We have the largest candy counter in the world! It is 112 feet long and is located in Littleton, NH. So, if you are in the mood for something sweet then just hop over to Chutters and by your lifetime supply!

10. We have the largest arcade in the world! Funspot is the best arcade ever for all ages from young to old, there is something for everyone.. even those who love bowling or mini golf!

New Hampshire is the best state to live in because we have so many fun things to do during all four seasons of the year! You get a taste of each type of weather no matter where you live in NH. We also obviously have some of the worlds largest places and some of the best sight seeing possible so if you have never been to New Hampshire book your tickets now for the upcoming fall foliage! NH gives you a granite state of mind no matter what you do here.

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.
