If you're like me, finding a unique candy shop or ice cream parlor feels like finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. All of these locations are sure to bring a smile to your face and a delicious taste to your tongue this summer. Before long, you will be dreaming of cookie dough while away at school and your microwave popcorn will never taste the same again.

Cookie Dough Creations- Naperville, IL

All parents scold their children not to eat the cookie dough because of the raw eggs. This is not a worry at Cookie Dough Creations in Naperville. Their famous eggless cookie dough on top of any flavor of ice cream is unlike anything in the world. Don't believe me? Cookie Dough Creations was recently featured on WGN News and Al Roker's Food Network TV show "Roker on the Road" as one of the best desserts in America!

Dylan's Candy Bar- Chicago, IL

Ever wonder why candy shops are so stingy with their samples? You'll never have this thought at Dylan's Candy Bar because free samples are encouraged. Although their candy is expensive, all the free samples you will take are sure to make up for it.

Garrett's Popcorn- Chicago, IL

"Dangerous" is the only word to describe Garrett's. You'll never find popcorn more addicting than this one.

Sprinkles Cupcakes- Chicago, IL

Sometimes you just need a sweet treat at any hour of the day. At Sprinkles Cupcakes, you can enjoy delicious cupcakes because of their 24 hour cupcake ATM which sits outside the front door. Why resort to the refrigerator when wanting a midnight snack when you could get a cupcake at Sprinkles!

Nuts on Clark- Chicago, IL

Nuts, candy, chocolate, and popcorn. What more could you possibly be craving? With the #1 caramel and cheese corn in America, Nuts on Clark can be found on Clark street, Wrigley Field, Soldier Field, Union Station, and even O'Hare and Midway airports.

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.
