9 Must Dos When Visiting Baton Rouge
cdn.mntm.me

1. LSU Football Games

SEC Football in the middle of the Fall? Seriously, nothing is better than a Saturday Night in Death Valley with 102,000 other people. The best part is that it never rains in Tiger Stadium.


2. The 13th Gates Escape Room

The World's number 6 ranked Best Haunted House takes escaping to another level. You only have 60 minutes, can you escape?

3. Visit the LSU Rural Life Museum

A unique place to take engagement pictures, senior pictures or bridal pictures. The property is so pretty and very easy to explore.

4. Tour the USS Kid Downtown

An old Navy destroyer that is now sitting on the Mississippi River in Downtown Baton Rouge is a ship that everyone should check out!

5. Tour the Louisiana State Capitol

34 Stories high and you can practically see all of Baton Rouge from the top. It is the highest building in Baton Rouge and the 7th highest in the state alone, and the tallest capitol in the United States.

6. Eat at Fleur de Lis Pizza

By far the best hole in the wall pizza ever. Thin square pieces fresh out the oven with cheese on top is the perfect go to.

7. LSU Baseball Games

Doesn't get much better than LSU Baseball in the Spring time packed with 8,000 fans.

8. Old State Capitol

The Old State Capitol is 165 years old and is still standing today. The building now serves as The Museum of Political History.

9. Go to the St. Patricks Day Parade

The weekend either before of after St. Paddy's Day, a parade rolls through Baton Rouge as one of the top parades to attend. It is a party for sure.

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.
