Being home for the summer is fun, but if you're anything like me, it can sometimes feel like there is absolutely nothing to do in your hometown. Whether it's a rainy day or a night out with your friends, the movies are always a good option, especially with all the new movies hitting the theater this summer. Here are just a few you definitely should not miss:

1. Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising

The sequel to the 2014 film "Neighbors" is one you should definitely see because -let's be real - Zac Efron is back and hotter than ever. "Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising" follows the same plot line as the original movie, except this time Mac (Seth Rogan) and his wife Kelly (Rose Byrne) have to deal with a whole new level of a neighbor nightmare when the sorority Kappa Nu moves into the house next door. The cast is amazing, and Zac Efron's abs are reason enough to see the movie this summer. You can check out the trailer here!

2. X Men: Apocalypse


Okay, so I'm the first to admit, I'm not the biggest comic book/action movie fan, but the trailers for this movie look amazing. The core cast members from "X-Men: Days of Future Past" are back, such as Jennifer Lawrence, Olivia Munn, James McAvoy and Nicolas Hoult. As well as some new cast members, including "Game of Thrones'" Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, Alexandra Shipp, and "EastEnders'" Ben Hardy. This action filled movie is one you definitely won't want to miss! You can check out the trailer here!

3. Popstar: Never Stop Never


Written, produced by, and starring Andy Samberg, "Popstar: Never Stop Never" is a mockumentary comedy that is a parody music documentaries like Justin Bieber: Never Say Never which was released in 2011. Samberg plays Conner4Real, a famous recording artist that is dealing with the good and bad that comes along with being a world-famous popstar. This movie looks hysterical, so if you're looking for a good laugh, definitely check it out. You can check out the trailer here!

4. Me Before You


Based on the 2012 romantic novel written by Jojo Moyes, "Me Before You" follows the story of a successful and happy man, Will Traynor, who suddenly becomes paralyzed in an accident. Two years later, Louisa Clark is hired as Will's caretaker, helping Will loosen up and become more open-minded. If the movie is anything like the book (an emotional rollercoaster), I highly recommend bringing plenty of tissues because you are bound to cry! You can check out the trailer here!

5. Finding Dory


In the long-awaited sequel to the 2003 classic Disney film, "Finding Nemo," "Finding Dory" focuses on the amnesic character, Dory (voiced by Ellen Degeneres) as she is trying to find her family. The movie is in 3D, and is well worth the watch no matter what age you are! You can check out the trailer here!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.
StableDiffusion

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.
