In This Article:

Let's be real, we all want to have a great summer and relax. Instagram is full of beautiful summer vacations and photos of the beach. But not everyone can afford to go to the Bahamas. (If you can afford, please take me with you!) But that does not mean you can not have a great summer full of memories.

Visit a lake or local beach

A lot of lakes are super cheap to visit (if their is a charger at all!) A couple of local ones in my hometown are $3 per car.

Pick up a new hobby

Painting classes are often discounted on week days!

Volunteer with your school

The summers I have spent volunteering and stay close to campus are some of my favorite.

Volunteer at a VBS

Free Cheetos and Jesus, what more could you want? If you can give up a few hours of your day for a week, I assure you it will be an experience that impacts children in your community and yourself.

Make Homemade Ice Cream

You can buy a machine to help you make soft serve or simply freeze a tub for scoops!

Go Camping 

Find a park or a friend with a big backyard! I will not lie and say I have not slept on a trampoline before. It does not have to cost a lot, just find somewhere and some friends to camp with!

Get a Tan

Laying outside in the sun is the cheapest way! Skip those tanning beds!

Have a movie marathon 

Who is to say you can not stay away for 36 hours and binge watch Harry Potter?

Make S'Mores

Take  a photo or 1 second video everyday

Save them as a video to remember your summer!

The summer has begun but it is not too late to enjoy it! What is on your bucket list?

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.
