School is officially over and summer is finally here. Going back home for the summer means trying to find new things to do and not sitting in the house all day watching Netflix. I know living in central Ohio it feels like there's nothing to do and it's so boring. However, here is a list of actually really fun things to get out and do this summer:

1. Visit the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

If you have never been to the Columbus Zoo you need to! It's so big and has so many amazing things. It's a must do this summer.

2. Go to Zoombezi Bay.

For those super hot summer days, go to Zoombezi Bay and cool down. The water park is also attached to the Columbus Zoo so you could see both in one day or make two trips.

3. Visit the Columbus Museum of Art.

This summer you should really check out the Columbus Museum of Art. It has a lot of art to view and so nice to walk around.

4. Go shopping at Easton Town Center.

Easton Town Center has so many shops to check out. There's also restaurants and movie theater if you don't feel like shopping. It's so beautiful and definitely worth the trip.

5. Visit COSI.

COSI will be a fun trip with younger kids in your life or even just your friends. This could be a great rainy day trip.

6. The Ohio State Fair.

Go out and visit the Ohio State Fair July 26 - August 6 2017.

7. Go camping at Mohican Adventures.

Head out to Mohican Adventures to go camping or basically any campground and enjoy time with your family or friends. Nothing beats sitting around the camp fire.

8. Visit Hocking Hills.

Visit Hocking Hills and go hiking, stay in a cabin and just enjoy nature.

9. Red White & Boom!

For Fourth of July this summer, go see Red White & Boom on July 3! The fireworks display are a must see.

10. Go to Shadow Box Live!

Go visit Shadow Box Live and see a show this summer!

11. Go eat and explore North Market.

North Market is a public market that is a must see to go and get food at.

12. Visit the Franklin Park Conservatory.

The Franklin Park Conservatory is the perfect place to explore indoor and outdoor gardens, exhibition, artwork and so much more. This is an adventure to take this summer.

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.

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.
