5 Fun Things To Do In DC
Emily Miller

There have been so many times where I just want to get out and leave campus for a little, but I have no idea what to do. Here's some random things me and my friends have done when we had nothing to do and no plans in mind:

1. Take a Cupcake tour in Georgetown

There’s so many cupcake places in DC and they are mostly in walking distance of one another, if you’re in the mood for sweets you can start at Georgetown Cupcakes, Baked and Wire, Sprinkles, etc

2. Spy Museum

This one is a little pricey, but is really cool. The National Spy Museum is museum where you pretend to be a spy and go on different adventures. It is between $15-$40, but is completely worth it.

3. Captain Cookie and the Milkman

Another treat place you could visit is if you get off at Foggy Bottom-GW Metro Stop and walk over the Captain Cookie and The Milkman. They make homemade cookies and cookie/ice cream sandwiches.

4. Go Shopping in Georgetown

M Street is one of the best places to go shopping in DC. M Street has every shop you can imagine from Vineyard Vines and Lilly Pulitzer to TJ Maxx and Urban Outfitters.

5. Yoga at Gallery Place

There is a place in Gallery Place/Chinatown called Core Power Yoga where on Sunday's at 2pm you can go to a yoga class for free and relieve all your stress from the week and feel refreshed for the upcoming week.

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.
