School is out and summer is here! Do the familiar things that make you happy every summer while taking new risks. Create a bucket list and explore the endless possibilities. Here are a few ideas...

1. Road Trip


This summer, hit the road with family or friends and find yourselves somewhere unfamiliar.

2. Try New Food

Food Trucks...Food Festivals...Food Samples...Summer is a food frenzy, so treat yourself!

3. Stay Active

It can become super tempting to be a couch potato during the summer. Fight this urge by doing fun workouts/activities. Your mind, body, and spirit will thank you!

4. Go To As Many Concerts/Music Festivals As You Can

It's not too late to grab tickets to some of the hottest summer concerts/festivals. Don't miss out on seeing one of your favorite bands or artists!

5. Sleepovers With Friends

School is out and everyone is back home! What better way to catch up then by sharing stories and reminiscing over a sleepover?

6. Dance It Out As Much As Possible

Have you ever tried dancing out your feelings? No matter what they may be, a one-minute dance break can send you the positive vibes you need to handle anything.

7. Have a Movie Night During A Thunderstorm

Keep your night "lowkey" with warm popcorn and comfy PJs.

8. Get A Tattoo

Brand yourself for life or just get a Henna (temporary tattoo)... Either way, you only live once, and tattoos are a creative way to express yourself.

9. Hit The Beach

Feel the sand against your feet and hear the waves around you.

10. Do a Color Run

Get colorful with lots of people while getting in great exercise. Find out if a color run is happening in your area! These are so much fun.

11. New Hairstyle

Switch things up! Get the cut you have always wanted, try a new color, or get some summer highlights.

12. Kiss Someone In The Rain

It's in every teen-drama you've ever BINGE-WATCHED...

13. Summer Chick Flick Movie Marathon

The Last Song is a great start... #justsaying

14. Pay It Forward

Take some time out of your schedule to help someone else out. Volunteering just a little bit of your time can really make an impact on someone else...They might even have an impact on you...

15. Bonfires!

Smell the wood! Look at the Fire... Buy chocolate bars, graham crackers, and marshmallows and MAKE SOME S'MORES!

16. Fireworks

Forever amazed at how these light up the sky every summer...

17. Sleep

It's OK to be busy, but you have to take care of yourself. With sleep, you will function so much better and have more energy...GET SOME SLEEP! YOU DESERVE IT!


Live SUMMER 2016 to the fullest! Leave nothing up in the air and make every moment count. You Got This! Happy Summer!

AI music threatens creativity

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.
