Chattanooga Day Trip For The 4th of July
Madhurya Gajula

Every year for the Fourth of July, my family tries to do something besides watching fireworks at our local park. This year, my family decided to head up to Chattanooga, Tennessee. I'd never been to Chattanooga to explore the city before this, so we did a lot of touristy activities, including taking a tour of the city!

We started off with lunch since we had gotten there a little after noon. Little did I know, I would find my FAVORITE meal ever. This is the Voodoo Chicken from Boathouse. If you're ever in town, you need to check this out.

The restaurant is called Boathouse since it's located right next to the Tennessee River. This was the view from our table on the patio.

After lunch, we decided to head to a tour of the city since it was our first time exploring the city. On our way to a boat tour of Chattanooga on the Tennessee River, we saw the Tennessee Aquarium.

Soon after that, we got onto the boat to begin our tour.

We saw the Hunter Museum of American Art...

the Tennessee Aquarium...

the iconic Walnut Street Bridge...

and Ross's Landing, a Native American memorial for the Trail of Tears.


After the tour of Chattanooga and the Riverside Park area, we decided to drive up to see Lookout Mountain. We went up the area to see the Lookout Mountain Incline.

The view from this spot was breathtaking! You could see so far out into the distance, which was amazing to me.

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.
