50 Things You Should Do This Summer

Summer. Ah, that glorious time of year that college attendees anxiously count down for practicaly the moment spring break ended. You tell yourself, this is going to be the summer where you get things done; you even make a Pinterest account! But before you know it, school creeps up and with a week left of summer you realize you've been a slave to your couch and have convinced yourself to conserve water by showering less.

Dirty couch slave no more. Here are 50 things you can do to inspire your adventurous, thrilling, and worth while summer.

  • Pretend to be a tourist in the heart of your own city
  • Try those recipes you've been drooling over on Facebook
  • Road Trip…a lot
  • Visit somewhere you haven’t been in your state

  • Meet up with new friends
  • Make it a goal to inspire someone
  • Let someone inspire you
  • Find and eat at random resturaunts

  • Spend an entire day dedicated to sleep
  • Train for something
  • Save up money and travel somewhere, far
  • Get a job if you don't have one and SAVE
  • Don’t lie in bed binge watching Netflix all day
  • But contrarily, spend at least one day binge watching Netflix all day
  • Meet someone new and make plans with them
  • Get a bike. They are very underrated
  • Pull an all nighter

  • Do a weird DIY thing from pintrest until it looks like the picture
  • Lay out at night until you see a shooting star
  • Go to the Zoo
  • Go zip lining
  • Take your mom/dad/sister/relative out
  • Email your grandparents…they will love this

AI music threatens creativity

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.
