Visitant

1. Ice Skating

What better excuse to hold hands the entire time while keeping each other balanced, plus an excuse for us girls to wear a cute winter outfit? Click here for neat indoor and outdoor ice rinks in the metro Atlanta area.

2. Making S'mores

A chilly weather classic, which is especially more romantic when you roast the marshmallows by the fireplace and pair them with cute holiday mugs of hot cocoa.

3. Game Night

Drop your phones, turn off the television, and take out those old game boards for a night (or day) of friendly competition. This is one date where inviting friends over to play makes it even more fun and competitive.

4. Snow Mountain at Stone Mountain Park

Even though this attraction is more targeted towards families with children, why not unleash your inner child at Snow Mountain as a couple by snow tubing down a 400-ft hill and playing in real snow in the middle of the Georgia dryness?

5. Making a Gingerbread House

Try building one together, or make it a competition to see who builds the most creative house!

6. Looking at Holiday Lights

If one or both of your neighborhoods is very decorative, why not put on your coats and take a stroll down them? If your neighborhoods sadly happen to be lifeless, take a drive around town and look at the lights displayed there. For wonderful holiday light displays in the metro Atlanta area, click here.

7. Starbucks

Visit your local Starbucks and pick up one of your favorite holiday drinks that they have to offer. Afterwards, sit down and enjoy each other's company while enjoying the drinks. An additional recommendation: their hot chocolate is also one of the tastiest out there!

8. Baking Treats

Whether it's Christmas tree cookies, a snowman cake, or anything in between, baking treats with your boo is a fun activity to converse with each other while creating your sweet masterpieces.

9. Go Holiday Shopping

Hit up the mall and go shopping for your loved ones and for each other. You'll find out interests about each other that you may have not know!

10. Decorate Ornaments

Get some craft materials and get crafty! The sky is limit when decorating ornaments with your favorite person. Click here for neat ideas from Pinterest on DIY holiday ornaments.

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.
