The days are long, the air is warm, and adventure is stirring your soul. Summertime lends you the perfect opportunity to get out and enjoy nature. This list of activities makes for fun and memorable dates that surely beat sitting around the house all day.

1. Hiking

Whether you’ve never hiked a day in your life or you live in the mountains, hiking is the perfect way to get out in nature and explore the world around you with your significant other. Check out websites such as alltrails.com to find the perfect hike for you!

2. Rock Climbing

Feeling more on the adventurous side? Give rock climbing a go! Conquer those fears of heights with your best friend by your side. Contact a local climbing business and learn the ropes (ridiculous climbing pun intended).

3. Kayaking

If you don’t have your own kayak, find a local place to rent one from and head to a pond, lake, or river. Observe the wildlife around you as you make great memories.

4. Surfing

If you live near the ocean, learning to surf makes a perfect date idea. You’ll find yourself laughing at each other's wipeouts and cheering as you get your first waves! Surfing also is a great way to cool off on hot summer days!

5. Stargazing

Grab a picnic blanket and find a field with minimal light pollution near you. There’s nothing like late night conversations with the occasional shooting star pass by. Take it a step further and learn constellations of the night sky!

6. Biking

Whether it’s on the road or on the trails, biking is a great way to spend time with your boyfriend or girlfriend, while getting outdoors. Not to mention it’s a great workout!

7. Camping

Get out of town for the weekend and spend some quality time in nature. There's nothing better than falling asleep and waking up to the sound of birds and crickets, and you’ll get to spend quality time together talking over a campfire.

8. Fishing

Grab some fishing poles and bait and find a body of water near you. Even if you don’t catch much, you get to spend a hot summer day together near the water.

9. Explore Your Town

Most towns have hidden treasure all around them! Waterfalls? Caves? You never know what’s out there. Do some research and find local outdoor attractions and make an adventure out of it!

Now get out there!

AI music threatens creativity

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.
