5 Adventures You Have To Go On This Summer In Ohio

1. Hocking Hills State Park

19852 Ohio 664, Logan, OH 43138

Oh my goodness, I can't even explain how beautiful Hocking Hills is. There are an abundance of caves, hidden waterfalls, bridges, and 6-mile long hiking trails. You can go on tours or explore the scenic trails with a few friends. You also have the option of staying over night in a log cabin, (which have hot tubs). The cabins are set at a decent price and some packages even include zip-lining! There is also archery... which is kinda cool? Definitely something new! If you haven't already been, I suggest you explore Old Man's Cave and Cedar Falls. They are must sees!

2. Cincinnati Museum Center

1301 Western Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45214

This is the number one, coolest museum in Ohio! I think the best part about this museum is that they are constantly changing their exhibits, so when you keep going back you'll never see the same thing twice. Right now they have a viking theme going on which is pretty interesting. I'm obsessed with their ice age and dinosaur exhibits. Tickets are only $19.50, which isn't too bad for a days worth of fun!

3. Franklin Park Conservatory

1777 E Broad Street, Columbus, OH 43203

Explore the crazy, weird plants in the botanical gardens and learn how to blow glass in the Hot Shop. Beautiful art is scattered all throughout the building and there are lots and lots of butterflies. There is also an adorable café with fresh coffee and food made from scratch! General admission is $14.


4. Primavista

810 Matson Pl, Cincinnati, OH 45204.

This is an upscale Italian restaurant in downtown Cincinnati (not the scary part) that lets you view the entire city. Reviews are 4.6/5 and many people describe this restaurant as "breathtaking", "like a scene from a movie", and even say it is a restaurant "where the food is as captivating as the view". Their menu ranges from vegetarian and vegan options to big juicy steaks. This is a place you have to check out because it truly is beautiful.

5. Headlands Beach State Park

9601 Headlands Rd, Mentor, OH 44060

A beach in Ohio? Yes..kinda sorta. It's actually Lake Erie but is just as beautiful as an open ocean. Headlands Beach is the longest natural beach in Ohio and has been ranked as the best beach in Ohio on previous occasions. Surrounding the beach there are numerous hiking trails that allow you to take in spectacular views of your surroundings. There is so much history to learn about the land as it was an indian trail long long ago!

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.
