16 Things To Do in Summer '16

Because swimming and tanning are too predictable

1. Go skydiving

If you’re always looking for a new thrill, then this is definitely for you.

2. Create a blog

Summer is your time to explore, so why not tap into your creative side?

3. Actually try out the Tasty recipes

Red wine spaghetti anyone?

4. Have a wine night with friends

Paint each others nails, slather on some mud masks, and watch Jojo hunt for love on The Bachelorette.

5. Put a photo album together

There’s definitely something more sentimental about a photo album compared to a Facebook album.

6. Learn how to surf

As a native Californian, I don’t know why I haven't learned yet

7. Go to a concert or music festival

Drake is all I need.

8. Volunteer at a local food bank or animal shelter

Just giving a few hours of your time makes a huge difference in somebody else’s life. Plus, knowing you made someone else's life better is rewarding.

9. Conquer one of your fears

Whether it’s heights or the dark, the only way to overcome it, is to face it.

10. Have a bonfire

Invite your closest friends, roast marshmallows, and dance to your favorite music.

11. Stay up all night to watch the sunrise

The only rule is that you can’t sleep until the sun is up

12. Start a workout routine

There are no excuses as to why you can’t follow through this time around

13. Plan a road trip with friends

It doesn’t matter to where. Go across the state just to explore a new area, or visit friends in other cities. If you need an affordable place to crash, download Spots, a home sharing app designed for college students to find places to stay while away from home.

14. Go strawberry picking

It’s not just for little kids, and it’s way more fun than it sounds. I promise.

15. Go to a drive-in movie

Movie theaters are the usual. Spice it up.

16. Go 24 hours without your cell phone

If there is one thing on this list that I will not accomplish, it’s this one.

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.
