Mashable

School’s out and summer has begun! Now that finals have wrapped up, dorms have been packed, and goodbyes have been said - students are home for the summer. But that doesn't mean they're not still out and about. Here is a list of seven things college kids do on their summer break.

1. Hang out with friends

There’s no better way to spend a summer than with friends. Friends are the perfect companions when it comes to lounging by the pool, watching the fireworks, or shopping at the mall.

2. Watching Netflix

Summer is the perfect time to catch up on shows and to discover new ones. Get the popcorn and soda and start binge-watching!

3. Chilling by the pool

There’s no better way to cool off in summer than with your friends by the pool. Don’t forget to bring food to an epic pool party, and make sure to pack sunscreen.

4. Watching the Fourth of July fireworks

There’s no better way to bond with family than by watching the fireworks during July 4th. Find a good spot and enjoy watching the dazzling colors!

5. Going to the beach

Summer break gives college students the perfect opportunity to not only spend time with friends but to also catch some sun after months of being cooped inside studying. Pack up the car and head to the nearest beach to have some fun with friends.

6. Going on a camping trip

For most college students, camping is a great way to bond with friends. It also brings back memories of when they were younger and spending time in nature. There’s no better way to bond than by a campfire with the people you love.

7. Going to a water or theme park

Now that college is over, it’s time to enjoy summer by going to a theme or water park. You can go on rides or cool off and enjoy quality time with family and close friends.

Happy summer to all!

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.
