5 'Must Do' Things In Delaware This Summer

Summer down in Delaware is definitely different than it is in Boston, but after spending two years here, I have figured out the best things to keep me happy when summer rolls around. If you're not familiar with some of the best things to do here in Delaware, then keep reading!!

1. Delaware Beaches

Whether you have a beach house or take day trips to the beach then you know there is nothing better better than spending the day getting all sandy and sunburned. Trust me you have many beaches to choose from! If you're looking for a quiet day then head on over to Lewes, if you're looking for a little more action then Rehobeth is the place for you! Cape Henelopen State Park happens to be my favorite but really you can't go wrong with any of them.

2. Lum's Pond State Park

My favorite thing to do at Lum's Pond is the Go APE! Go APE is 5 courses that involve climbing trees, and then zip lining to the next section. Each time you increase in height and you even zip line over the water! As long as you aren't afraid to get a little down and dirty, then I highly recommend this!!

3. UDairy

If you're an ice cream lover like me, then the University of Delaware's "UDairy" Creamery is THE place to get your ice cream this summer. From every unique flavor they have to the very basic flavors they have, you can't go wrong with a nice big cone to end a great day.

4. The Gardens

As soon as the weather starts to get nice you have to head on over to Longwood Gardens. Although LG isn't in Delaware, it is only a short half hour ride to it's location in Kennet Sq, PA. The beautiful flowers and blossoming trees are sure to put a smile on your face. Another fantastic place to visit is my mothers personal favorite, Winterthur! Winterthur is another incredible garden area as well as a library. Not only is it beautiful during the spring/summer, the Christmas views are to die for!! Definitely a must-do if you haven't yet.

5. Chesapeake City

Although Chesapeake City isn't in Delaware either, it is my favorite spot to grab a drink with a friend (whose 21) and eat some crab dip. THE best crab dip I have ever had. Located right on the Chesapeake river, the Chesapeake Inn is the place to be on Friday and Saturday nights. With the live music and great crowd, you are sure to have a great time!

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.
