'Cruise' by Florida Georgia Line

Alright, this was THE song of summer 2012 and continues to be a summertime favorite as you put on your sunglasses, hop in the car, and cruise along with the windows down on a warm summer day. Every time I hear this song, I think of summer!

'Sweet Caroline' by Neil Diamond

This song reminds me a many settings as it is a traditional song played at Penn State football games. It's a fan favorite sing-along that pretty much everyone knows. At the beach resort that my family and I usually go to, this song is always played. It always puts me in a feel-good, relaxed kinda mood!

'Margaritaville' by Jimmy Buffet

A classic beach song especially if you go down south to a beach. My family and I go to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina every summer where there is a Margaritaville so we play this song on repeat for the whole vacation.

'It's Five O'Clock Somewhere' by Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffet

This one goes right along with Margaritaville as this song is played throughout vacation with my family quite a bit too. The idea it always being five o'clock somewhere makes me think of time coming to a stop on vacation. On vacation, we are not in a rush to get anywhere because it is all about taking time to relax and not be on a time schedule.

'Kokomo' by The Beach Boys

Going to the beach? Then, The Beach Boys seem like a fitting artist to listen to. Whenever going on vacation, I always try to find music that my whole family can vibe to and this just happens to be one of them as my mom and dad enjoy it. I know, it's a little old, but once again, it's a classic!

'This is How We Roll' by Florida Georgia Line

And another Florida Georgia Line song! Honestly, all Florida Georgia Line music gets me in the summer mood. I think country music in general is great for the summer time as I have gotten more and more into country especially over the last year thanks to my friends. This song is just another one of those kick back, feel good, hanging out with friends and having a good time kinda song.

'Vacation' by The Go-Go's

Obviously this song is a must for a vacation because it is literally titled 'Vacation'. This 80's summer hit talks about the excitement of getting away by going on vacation while tying in a summer love fling. The energy in this song makes it a peppy, upbeat song that is perfect for a summer vacay playlist!

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

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.
