Go to a park

Going to the park where you're able to walk or even sit at a distance from each other is a great way to get out of the house, be safe, and still see your friends. Having a picnic, joining for book club, or even just catching up on this weeks hottest gossip, you're still able to spend time with your friends while being safe and protecting yourself and others!

Set up a Zoom Call

Zoom is a great way to stay in touch with friends as well as family. It's a simple FaceTime like app but allows you to share your screen so you could watch TV or movies with your friends. Staying in touch face to face without having to leave your house can be a godsend for many people. Zoom is a great way to stay in touch while still being in the comfort of your own home.

Drive-Ins are a great way to see a movie from the comfort of your own car and being able to socially distance yourself from other movie goers. You can find a list of local drive-ins in your area by just googling "Drive-In theater near me". Remember to bring popcorn and your snack of choice!

Setting your towels, beach chairs, and tents a safe distance from others while also bringing your own refreshments will ensure a safe and fun trip to the beach this summer.


Being safe and having fun this summer is a top priority. Remember to continue to safely distance yourself from others and wear a mask in public. Together, we can continue to flatten the curve and have an awesome 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.

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.

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.
