SPRING IS HERE! The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and the pollen is killing your sinuses. Now that spring is here, it's time to enjoy the fresh air. Here are some activities that will get you outside and embrace springtime:

1. Have a picnic at the park.

Take a day to ditch your boring lunch spot, and go to a local park! Smell the flowers, walk the dog, and enjoy yourself.

2. Fly a kite.

I haven't done this in years, but it brings back so many good memories. Go buy a kite and remember your childhood year. Even sing the Mary Poppins song to make it more nostalgic. Let's go fly a kite!

3. Plant something green.

I am no expert in the flower department, but it's always fun to try and develop a green thumb! Whether it's planting some vegetables or pretty flowers, this will make your backyard into a beautiful scenery.

4. Visit the zoo.

Animals love the warm weather and are ready for some visitors. Head to your local zoo and check out some wild animals. (My personal favorite is a sloth.)

5. Ride a bike.

Exercising is actually enjoyable when there is perfect weather. Get out the dusty bikes, and take a little ride through the neighborhood. Your skin will love the warmth of the sun!

6. Clean EVERYTHING.

I am not a big fan of cleaning, but when spring comes around, I can't help but tidy my whole house. Open some windows, get the Clorox wipes out, and treat your home to a nice cleaning.

7. Go to the farmers market.

Where I'm from, the local farmers market is a must when its springtime. Go walk around and enjoy the produce and flowers the market has to offer.

8. Take a walk.

Take the dog or cat for a walk around the neighborhood. Take time to embrace the great weather and wear out the family pet.

9. Go to a baseball game.

My favorite part of spring is eating a hot dog while supporting your favorite baseball game. (Go Rangers!)

10. Drink coffee on the patio.

Why not wake up a little early, and start the day off right by sitting outside and enjoying a nice cup of joe. You can even read a book or the newspaper. (Yes, newspapers are still around.)

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.
