5 Things to Do in Tuscaloosa in July

1. Attend a concert.

The Tuscaloosa Amphitheater is a great place to see a concert. There is not a bad seat in the venue, and with a great alcohol selection, the night cannot go wrong. Rod Stewart will be playing on July 16, and after the concert, Moe’s or Innisfree is not too far away. Sounds like a great night, if you ask me.

2. Go to the Farmer's Market.

Every Saturday from 7 a.m. to 12 noon, the Tuscaloosa farmer's market is wonderful place to attend every Saturday. With a great selection of locally grown fruits, vegetables, and flowers, the farmer's market should become your go-to spot for your weekly grocery shopping. Located on the Riverfront, the market is also directly next to Another Broken Egg, so you can get mimosas and groceries in the same location. Sounds like a win-win to me.

3. Lake Tuscaloosa.

Lake Tuscaloosa might be the best hidden gem in TTown. A good day at the lake should involve burgers, booze, and a boat. Even heading to the cliffs should also be on your to-do list. Boat rentals are readily available on the lake. Also, find someone who is a member at North River Yacht Club. Trust me, you won’t regret it.

4. Wine tasting.

Every Thursday and Friday from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., Carpevino in downtown Tuscaloosa offers wine tasting for $10. Wine tasting is a great way to expand your knowledge of alcohol, plus, you can look and sound more sophisticated at the next party you attend. Carpevino also allows you to bring your own food, so for $10 not only can you impress someone with your wine knowledge, you could bring McDonald's, as well. This seems to be the best example of bang for your buck.

5. Get pumped for Alabama football.

As of July 4, Alabama football is only 62 days away. What's better than spending the entire month preparing for the Wisconsin game? My suggestion is watch every game from last year expect for Auburn, watch that twice. Then, watch the SEC Championship game from 2012 to get excited for the Tide’s upcoming visit to Athens.

Or, you could watch this video on repeat for the next 62 days. Time well spent. Roll Tide!

AI music threatens creativity

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

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.
