1. You walked “into town” after school every Friday during the intermediate school years.

If you were really cool, you got to be a "walker" on a day other than Friday.

“No way—your mom let you do that?!”

“Yeah, want me to buy you something from Einstein's?”

2. You are more excited for Blossom weekend than for Christmas.

It’s not just a carnival. It’s Blossom.

3. Your parents went to Chagrin and/or your cousins go to Chagrin.

In rare cases your entire extended family has gone to Chagrin, and you all still live there (yes, I’m talking about you Clegg and Mahoney families).

4. The most money you’ve spent on a single item over the course of your life is on Yours Truly notso fries.

One lotso notso has 3856 calories. Let that sink in.

5. If you meet someone who says they are from Chagrin, and you find out they actually went to Kenston, you are immediately LIVID.

We take it very personally.

6. You think (you know) that the Pumpkin Roll is the coolest tradition.

What’s better than being with your 200 closest friends, smashing pumpkins down Grove Hill, and sledding on top of the guts and seeds? Nothing. Literally nothing.

7. You seriously believe that there is no tighter knit community than Chagrin.

It’s just the truth.

8. As a kid, you lived at the Rec Center during the summer.

Swimming lessons then tennis then free swim. Meet ya in the big pool!

9. Any time someone came to visit Chagrin, you showed them “The Falls” and the famous Popcorn Shop.

Did they tell you Chagrin is sooo cute? Yup, I thought so.

10. You can’t imagine any better place to grow up.

One of your proudest titles: Chagrin Falls alumni.

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.
