Summer is right around the corner, and you may be thinking to yourself, "What am I going to do with myself for three months?" Well, here is a short list of ideas of places to go and activities to do over vacation to keep you busy.

1. Castle Island

Castle Island is located in South Boston on the harbor. There are tours of the historical fort, a playground, a grilling area and a lot of space for bike riding, roller blading, or walking. The best day involves getting an ice cream and hotdog from Sullivan’s.

2. Narragansett, Rhode Island

Narragansett Town beach is known for its large waves and beautiful scenery. There are shops and many restaurants to explore. Personally, my favorite thing to eat is crab cakes at Iggy’s Doughboys and Chowder House and then get a large waffle cone at Brickley’s Ice Cream shop.

3. Six Flags

Because who doesn’t love riding roller coasters!

4. Martha’s Vineyard

Fun things to do in the Vineyard include bike riding, visiting the beach, visiting the gingerbread houses and eating great seafood (my favorite).

5. York Beach, Maine

There are three main beaches with shops, amusements, a playground, a zoo and multiple restaurants. Their beaches are known for their beautiful sunsets and sunrises. One great place to stop is the Golden Rod where you can watch the making of salt-water taffy.

6. Fenway Park

A great night includes going to Boston to watch the Red Sox and enjoying a Fenway Frank!

7. Mystic Aquarium

Mystic Aquarium is a mostly outdoor aquarium. There are a lot of touch tanks, sea lions, whales, penguins, rays, and other fish.

8. Bretton Woods, New Hampshire

Bretton Woods is a resort located on Mount Washington. It has the longest zip lining canopy tour in New England. The resort also has a golf course, horseback riding, a spa, rock climbing wall, and many more summer fun activities.

9. Old Orchard Beach, Maine

Old Orchard Beach includes mini golf, fireworks, concerts, fairs, carnival rides and food, and a long boardwalk on the beach.

10. Canobie Lake Park

Located in Salem, New Hampshire, is an amusement park with live entertainment, water attractions and a scenic sky ride. It also has picnic areas and many food options.

To summarize, there are some great things to do in New England over summer break. There are endless activities and places to go. There's never an excuse to be bored!

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.
