One thing a Long Island summer can’t be complete without is dessert! Nothing better than coming home from a long day at the beach and stopping for desert! Though there are hundreds of places across Long Island that are great for food, these are the 7 seven places to go for that special snack.

1. Kilwin’s

Besides having multiple locations, including even other states, Kilwin’s is one of the most trusted names in ice cream for just a quick cone when out with friends. They also have the best fudge around. Their flavor selection is vast and the quality of the ice cream is through the roof.

2. Hershey's Ice Cream in West Islip

Another great ice cream joint that even makes milkshakes similar to the fancy ones that are trending right now from Black Taft!

3. Any Ralph’s

Ralph’s is a Long Island staple so I shouldn’t even have to say anything at all without everyone already knowing the wonder that is Ralph’s.

4. Diner By The Sea

If you’re unfamiliar, Diner By The Sea is in Long Beach and makes some of the most delicious and cutest milkshakes across Long Island. Not only are they so fun to take pictures of, but most shakes come with little props like a crazy straw or a pair of funky sunglasses in the cup.

5. The Witches Brew

Being a Hofstra student my guilty pleasure has to be The Witches Brew because of its close proximity and really cool vibe! But their coffees, lattes, hot chocolate, and desserts are perfect especially for a cold winter night.

6. International Delight Café

Another classic joint, the café is known for its waffles and ice cream but one of my personal favorites happens to be the case of ice cream that lines the front wall with 30+ flavors! (Definitely try the Rainbow cookie cake).

7. Marvel Frozen Dairy

And last but not least, Marvel! If you’re going to take a trip to Long Beach or you live close by, Marvel’s soft serve is out of this world! It wouldn’t be a Long Island summer without it!

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.
