As the air gets crisper and the leaves start to fall, we always contract our yearly bout of summer nostalgia. Summer nostalgia includes thinking back on to that one party with that one group of friends or regretting not accepting that canoeing trip with your family friends. We all know this grieving process, for it happens to the best of us because summer is not nearly as long as it should be. We all wish that we could live in Hawaii or California where it seems as if the summer fun never ends, but that's okay because it only makes those three months more worth. So, here's to summer and some of the things I wish I would have done more of.

  1. Spending More Time With My Pets

That’s right, our pets hold that special place in our hearts. But sometimes we forget our little Fido is sitting right outside, wanting to be played with.



2. Acquiring Your Best Summer Tan

Getting our golden brown tans back is something that makes summer so wonderful, but sometimes lying inside where the wifi works and the TV with American Horror Story may seem like the better idea at the time.

3. Working Out More

Summer is almost like the key for starting your six month late New Year’s resolution. The only thing is, it almost never happens.

4. Eno More

Grab your eno, some granola, a good book and find two random trees away from humanity to reside in for awhile. Dont forget the bug spray.

5. Go On More Hiking Trips

Personally, hiking is the best way to go for any occasion.

6. Read More Books

Majority of us dont do much reading other than our assigned summer reading for school. But it's good to take your nose out of your phone and put it into a good book.

7. Spent More Time With My Friends

While my whole friend base and I were constantly traveling and out of town, it would have been nice to see them all a little more.

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.
