7 Drinks For The 4th Of July that Can Bring Out Anyone's Patriotic Side

Independence Day is arguably America's drunkest holiday. It's tradition to barbecue, watch fireworks, and binge drink the entire day away. If you're throwing a party this 4th of July and want to serve the tastiest, coolest, and most patriotic drinks ever, here are some ideas for you. Just click the photos for instructions on how to make these drinks! And remember to stay safe and drink responsibly!

1. Spiked Bomb Pop

These are the best popsicles to eat on the 4th of July! Why not turn them into a tasty drink?

2. Layered Red, White, and Blue Shot

If you want a shot with some patriotic stripes, just use a spoon to carefully pour layers on top of each other.

3. The Independence Rocket

This drink has muddled raspberries in the top layer for an extra fruity touch! Yum!

4. Star Spangled Jello Shots

These may take a little extra time to make, but they are so worth it!

5. Diversity Shot

This drink represents how America is a melting pot of all cultures! When you pull the shot glass out of the cup, the colors mix in perfect harmony!

6. American Flag Slushie

This slushie will be great to cool you off on a hot summer day!

7. Red, White, and Blue Sangria

This drink is light and refreshing and very fruity! The star shapes are easy to make with a small cookie cutter.

I hope your 4th of July is filled with American flag-waving and tons of red, white, and blue fireworks! And again, be safe and drink responsibly!

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.

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.
