Being on Long Island for the month-long winter break is definitely one of the best places to be, and for multiple reasons.

1. Find a beach

This is an easy one. No matter where you are, there is bound to beach at least 20 minutes away, if not five.

2. Go shopping

Time to get that last minute Christmas shopping that you didn't get done on Black Friday. Time to hit up Roosevelt Field or Walt Whitman!

3. Visit your high school

Hey, it could be kinda fun. Your favorite teachers will probably be happy to see you.

4.Go to this place!

I've actually never been to bounce in Syosset, but I always assumed it was a giant room with a million trampolines that you run around on. Why would you not be there?

5. NYC...duh

Living on Long Island means you live next to greatest city in the world. Take advantage of it. Pretend to be a tourist, go to the tree, look up at all those buildings. Its never seems to get old.

6. Go to the Hamptons


To the city, or to the other side of the island. The Hamptons aren't just for summer.

7. Plan a spontaneous vacation!

Living on Long Island is almost like being on vacation all the time, but it's still nice to get away

8. Eat good food... a lot of it

Pizza isn't the same anywhere else surprisingly enough, and it really is sad that the rest of the world can't make a normal bagel.

9.Go check out a mansion

Trust me there are a bunch.

super duper pretty am I right?

10. Go Skating

Whether it's at Rockafeller center or not it's a must for winter time on LI

11. Visit your favorite farmer's market

They always have good things like jam and bread and butter and cookies. Stop by!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
