15 Ways To Spend Your Summer Break

Summer is here so it's time to enjoy it, you do only have two and a half months to make the most of it.

So making a summer bucket list on things you want to accomplish or do this summer should be something on your to-do list.

Here are some ideas you can add to your list:

1. Watch the sunrise and/or sunset at your local beach

It'll be a lovely view.

2. Spend a day at a bookstore

You'd be surprised by the amount of amazing books you still haven't read.

3. Binge-watch a TV series

Doesn't necessarily have to be GoT.... but who wouldn't want to binge-watch GoT?

4. Go to your local zoo

You'll see animals in person instead of having to look at them through Discovery or Animal Channel.

5. Go to your local aquarium

You will most likely see Dory and Nemo in person.

6. Make a list of books you've always wanted to read and read them

Remember that one book you've wanted to read all semester, but haven't had the time? Well, now you have the time to read it and many more.

7. Discover family-owned restaurants near you

You'd be surprised at how better they are than chain-food restaurants... and healthier, too.

8. Have a bonfire

This is a great way to hang out with friends.

9. Go on a hike somewhere where you can camp out

Another lovely way to hang out with friends. Or, you can do it with your family.

10. Spend the day at an amusement park

The only down-side is that you'll be exhausted by the end of the day, but you won't regret it.

11. If you live on Long Island or near LI, then spend a day at Splish Splash

You'll have a blast.

12. Plan a road trip with your friends and go through with it

You will make memories you'll never forget.

13. Spend a day in the city

Because who wouldn't want to get lost in NYC?

14. Look up recipes and try them

If you're anything like me, you'll be watching Tasty on Facebook every chance you get.

15. And last but not least...

You'll only have two months to catch up on the many months without sleep.

***

Really, just relax this summer, but also enjoy it and make the most of out of it because those two months will go by extremely fast.

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.
