10 Things To Do This Summer

Summer 2017 is quickly approaching and you're already dreading having to work during those amazingly nice days. But, what do we actually do on our days off? We typically relax. But, this summer, instead of relaxing, everyone should attempt to conquer their summer bucket lists. If you need some ideas on what to do on your days off, here are a few.

1. Play Messy Twister

Whether it be with a huge group of friends on a Saturday night, or with your family, gather up some colored shaving cream or paint and play a game of Messy Twister.

2. Go On A Long Road Trip (With No Destination)

Gather up some money and hop in the car with all your closest friends. Take a road trip to no where while blasting your favorite summer music.

3. Go To A Music Festival

Personally, this is my number one thing to cross off my bucket list this summer. Everyone should be able to experience a music festival.

4. Drive-In Movie Theater At Night

Take a trip to the closest Drive-In movie theater around you. Go with a group of friends and bring some cozy blankets. On a warm night with a slush and popcorn? What more could you ask for.

5. Stargaze On The Beach

Simple and it's free! Take a drive to your local beach and lay down a blanket and watch the stars. There's nothing more relaxing than the sound of the waves crashing onto shore with your closest pals.

6. Glow-stick Swim

Gather up all of your friends and get yourself some glow sticks from the store. Crack them open, throw them in the pool once it's dark outside, and swim the night away with your friends.

7. Spend The Weekend On A Lake

Have all of your friends and yourself toss money into a lake house for a weekend. Enjoy the outdoors with no distractions, enjoy the lake itself, and enjoy the amazing memories.

8. Try Every Ice Cream Place Around You

Who wouldn't want to try every ice cream flavor possible? Let alone every ice cream place around you? Try and switch up from your typical go-to ice cream shop and try somewhere new!

9. Get Henna Tattoos

These tattoos are a popular trend and look amazing on everyone. Let them try, peel them off, and you have a temporary tattoo for a few weeks

10. Throw A 'Throwback' Party

Gather up all of your friends and have a good time in your backyard, listening to throwback music, and enjoying the night.

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.
