The sun is finally shining and the temperature is rising; who isn’t excited for summer? You survived a whole school year filled with constant homework or projects, waking up before sunrise, and living the same boring routine on repeat. So cutting loose is the number one priority after finals. With that being said, make sure you use your time wisely and not get caught up indoors with your cell in your hand. Create countless of memories. Here are 20 things you’ll have to do this summer to ensure that you’ll make them!

1. Spend the day at the beach


2. Go to a concert


Scream the lyrics, my friend.

3. Visit the zoo


Animals and the outdoors? Sounds like a perfect day.

4. Hike at a wilderness park


Maybe a beautiful view will distract you from the exercise you're enduring... Wipe the sweat off your forehead and happy hiking.

5. Have a bonfire

Wouldn't recommend what is demonstrated above, but gather around the fire! It's nice to enjoy the stars with some of your closest friends!

6. Give up your electronics for one full day


DETOX. Staying off social media for one day won't kill you!

7. Visit your county fair


Don't shy away from the corn on the cob; you know that's one of the main reasons you decided to check it out!

8. Read a new book


9. Go to a drive in


Pack some sweets/popcorn and wrap up in some blankets!

10. Learn how to barbecue


Make a bomb dinner for your friends one night!

11. Meet new people


Yeah, yeah, we all know it can be nerve-racking, but you might as well put yourself out there.

12. Kayak


13. Play in a beach volleyball tournament


It's always fun to have some friendly competition!

14. Have a massive water gun fight


15. Create a scrapbook


SO what if you're not crafty! You'll be able to look back on your summer when you're mourning the arrival of school.

16. Watch the sunrise


This could make the perfect start to your day, just make sure you have a latte in your hand.

17. Paint a picture


Make Bob Ross proud!

18. Ride a Ferris wheel


19. Go on a breakfast date


If only JT could sit across from all of us.

20. Go cliff diving


Summer is the season we look forward to all school year; late mornings and even later nights spent with friends and family. The sun is out all day, then it creates a beautiful sky when it goes down. The memories and possibilities are endless. These are some of the activities I'm going to make a point to experience with some of my best friends. What are you going to do 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.

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.
