"Where do you go to school?"

"Oh, is that in Lubbock? Is there even anything to do in Lubbock?"

Have you ever been faced with answering these types of questions after your move to the good old LBK? If you have, what has been your answer?

For those of you who, like me, didn't think there was anything to do in Lubbock before you got here, are left stumped trying to answer this question, then I have some good news for you.

Here are five things to do in Lubbock to make all the skeptics wish they too lived in the Hub City.

1. Watch a movie at the Stars and Stripes Drive-In

How hard is it to find an actual drive-in movie theatre these days? Stress no more because Lubbock has a one, perfect for college students on a budget. You can view two movies for the price of one! Grab your truck and some friends and head out to catch a recent release.


2. Go hiking at Ransom Canyon

Ransom Canyon is known for being one of the two great hiking places (Palo Duro Canyon being the other) near Lubbock, and almost everyone takes a trip out to hike there. You won't want to miss the view!


3. Check out Buffalo Springs Lake

Buffalo Springs Lake is not too far from Lubbock and if you are looking for the best lake around, then this is it. The lake is perfect place for water fun activities, grilling out, and spending the day relaxing on the water.


4. Go to the First Friday Art Trail

Take a walk through Lubbock’s Cultural District on the first Friday of every month and see some of the best art galleries and have an opportunity to meet the artists.


5. Watch the sunset

The sunsets in Lubbock are probably some of the most gorgeous sunsets you will ever see during your time here on Earth. Find a spot in town or drive out into the countryside, and watch the sunset. It's not something you will want to miss!


Prove the skeptics wrong with your awesome weekend plans, and have a great time!

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.
