2. The Governors Ball Music Festival

Every year Governors Ball aka Gov Ball, seems to be the second best thing to Coachella in terms of a festival like concert. This is a 3 day festival that takes place on Randalls Island,NY from June 2-4th. Not only is the music awesome, but there are some amazing food stands that you won't want to miss out on. Some well known names on the Friday's lineup are Chance The Rapper, Flume, Schoolboy Q and Lorde. Saturday has just as good of a line up starting with with Childish Gambino, Marshmallow, Rae Sremmurd, and Mark Ronson.

3. Starboy: Legend of the Fall 2017 World Tour: The Weeknd

I saw The Weeknd as my first concert and can confidently say it was one of the best concerts I have seen. The light show is entertaining and of course The Weeknd fans know the words to every song. The Weeknd will be performing on June 4th at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ at 7:30pm. Also two concerts will be held on June 6th and 7th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY at 7:30pm.

7. Kendrick Lamar: The Damn Tour

Not only is Kendrick Lamar going on tour, but he is bringing Travis Scott and D.R.A.M. This is probably one of the most talented groups of people that could go on tour together. Travis Scott is one of the best performers I have ever seen and if you don't go to this concert, you will regret it. Go see these guys on July 20th and 23rd at the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn, NY.

8. 4 Your Eyez Only World Tour: J Cole

Back in the fall of 2016 J Cole made it obvious he wasn't going on tour in 2017 after performing at The Meadows. He must have changed his mind so it would be a mistake not to see this amazing performer! Go see J Cole on August 1st or 2nd at the Barclays Center!

9. Coldplay: Head Full Of Dreams Tour

One of the last concerts of the summer is Coldplay. They have been around for a while, but their music never gets old. I saw them last summer and it was such an electrifying atmosphere. This concert was special because young kids to older adults were having just as much fun. They weren't supposed to be performing this summer, but they extended their tour because of the popular demand. This may be one of the last times Coldplay will go on tour; this isn't a concert you would want to miss. August 1st, MetLife Stadium, BE THERE!

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.
