5. Museums

A lot of interesting people go to museums. You've got people that were dragged there by an SO, a school trip, a parent, or what have you. You've got hipsters that are so into the art scene and like to analyze the deep meaning behind a painting of an apple. You've got kids screaming and running around. You've got a whole mess of people, no matter what kind of museum.


4. Airports

Airports are a good place to people watch because so many people are in a rush. It's always interesting to see someone having to run through the airport with four bags. There are also a lot of different kinds of people traveling to different places. Everyone has a story; everyone has a life.

3. The Mall

Mostly everyone understands the mall scene. Everyone has to go to the mall at some point or another, and it's another crowd that just has so much potential to be entertaining.

2. Festivals

Festivals are one of my personal favorite places to people watch. At music festivals and street festivals alike, there is a plethora of strange folks. Hippies, rednecks, city dwellers, cave men, athletes, musicians, and crazies all gather in one place to create an environment that is hard not to appreciate.

1. Dhall

Dhall takes the cake because not only do you get to watch people eat, but you get to watch people relate to the rest of the students. There is no place a person is going to be weirder than in a place with all of the people they are closest to -- while stuffing a pizza in their face.

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.
