No, you are not the only one. I do not have plans for the summer either. In exactly four weeks I will be back home (Manhattan) with no job, no plans, nothing lined up for me. If you are reading this and you already have plans for the summer, I am happy for you. If you do not, like myself, below are just a few suggestions.

1. Take summer or online classes.

This suggestion is perfect for you if you are in college. Whether you are trying to get ahead or catch up, taking a summer class or two will keep you productive. That way when the next semester rolls around, your brain and body will not be stuck in summer mode.

2. Binge watch that TV show you always wanted to but never had time to.

This is your chance! Netflix exists. Hulu exists. YouTube exists. Hop on that train! There are so many shows. I suggest start with the most popular ones.

3. Volunteer your time and skill.

Look up a non-profit organization that is looking for someone with your abilities. Since you are not getting paid in cash, make sure that you enjoy whatever you are doing. Warning: you will be paid in guilt-free happiness knowing that you did something for someone else. Have you heard of Sing For Hope? Look it up.

4. Come up with a routine and stick to it.

I have always wanted to wake up early enough to see the sun rise. If your plan is to have pizza for breakfast and cereal for dinner than go for it. The point is to prove to yourself that you can commit to something.

5. Take a long walk.

You can do this with a partner or alone. Walking is good for the mind. Give it a try.

6. Catch up with family and friends.

If you want to make sure that you have somewhere to stay or someone to go to for help in the future you better hop on this one quick.

7. Sleep in.

Shut your phone off. Switch the mode on your alarm clock off. When was the last time you did not get abruptly woken up by an alarm?

Summer is the time when you will have the least amount of responsibilities. So go crazy! But not too crazy.

I really hope I get around to at least three things on this list. If you actually end up taking my advice, please let me know how it goes.

AI music threatens creativity

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

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.
StableDiffusion

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.

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.
