Your Summer Bucket List

ghsjournal

Everyone knows that summer is a time to lay on the beach, hang out with friends and catch some waves. The most interesting thing about summer bucket-lists is that they all inherently say the same thing.

- got to the beach

- hang out with friends

- get a tan

- be worry-free

- etc

- etc

But the biggest problem with this is that summer is not made of the beach, or your friends you have them all year round, summer is made of memories of challenging oneself and meeting someone new.

So this summer and some different things to your bucket-list

1.) Meet New People

A New York photographer recently started a new project where he is putting strangers in photos together and by the time that the photoshoot is over, they realize that we are all people, all humans wanting to connect to others.

2.) Learn from Our Past

"So we have to learn not just from the holocaust, because it is a historical fact that people don't seem to be able to live in peace and in agreement for a better life."

3.) LOVE YOURSELF

You are so much more than what your mind tells you.

4.) Make Some Bomb Food

Summer is the ultimate time for new foods and great produce. Try some new things, or some summer favorites.

All in all summer is a time for fun, its a time to reconnect and its a time to relax, but it can also be a great time to learn about oneself, or others.

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.

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.

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.
