Now that summer's here, it's time to reconnect with your friends from high school and catch up. Here are 8 ideas of things to do when you're hanging out with your friends from high school!

1. Have a sleepover!

Whether you're 9 or 19, it's always fun to have a sleepover with friends. Pile up the pillows and break out the Cheetos while you watch Zac Efron in his prime

2. Pool Partyyy

Fun floaties and cute swimsuits give you a reason to meet up at the pool and cool off in the hot weather. Find out who can still cannonball the best... or maybe see who improved their cannonballs in the past year!

3. Go out to a fancy dinner

You're old enough to dine out now... by yourselves. Be the "adults" that you are for the night and go out to a nice dinner with the BFF's from back in the day.

4. Go on a day trip

The new-found freedom of college can be carried over to the freedom of the open road. Check out some of the local (or not-so-local) travel destinations around your area and share in the memories with those who you bonded with back in the day.

5. Camping

Nothing says summer like breaking out the tent and marshmallows and catching up over the campfire. Just like when you were seven, the smore's and the bonding will taste just as sweet.

6. Movie Marathon

Whether it's the whole "High School Musical" trilogy, the whole "Star Wars" trilogy... whatever you're into... set it all up and sit down to enjoy the whole series since it's summer and there's time to do so.

7. Make your own ice cream

There's a recipe to make the greatest summer food in the world, and it can be achieved without much difficulty and for much bonding between friends. Make it. Eat it. Cherish it.

8. Get outdoors

Whether it's hiking, playing soccer, shooting hoops, or just going for a walk together, meet up and get outside to enjoy the great outdoors together. The endorphins will boost your enjoyment of each other and you'll feel physically better while upping your heartbeat with the fresh air.

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.
