Everything You Need To Pack Into Your Summer Bucket List
Adam Kontor

Unless you live in Bloomington, IN where it snows one day and two days later it's 70 and sunny, summer is right around the corner.

Ah yes. The pools are opening and people are pulling out their shorts and tank tops.

Summer is more than just warm weather though. It's travelling, fun with friends, driving with the windows down and making long-lasting memories. Part of that is a strong bucket list. Sitting at home and making last minute plans to hang with friends can be fine, but making a list of things to do when hanging around your house just isn't enough is always a plus. Trust me you'll thank me later.

Here are the top five most important things to include on a solid bucket list.

1. The vacation.

Everyone loves a good road trip. Gather up your best friends and get in the car! If you're from Indy some great places to visit are

Turkey Run: a huge state park full of lots of fun trails and a few good places to eat.

Holiday World: An amusement park with roller coasters and water rides for when it's extra steamy outside.

Indiana Dunes: If you need a beach, but don't want to drive very far the dunes are for you!


2. Boating

What better way to spend a day than on a boat with your best friends? This one is great for the really hot days when you know the water is going to be warm. Make sure to bring lots of cold drinks and snacks!

3. Cliff diving

Another really great one for the really hot days. Make a day out of it. A nice place for this is White Rock Park. They have sectioned off so many places and heights to jump from. You could easily spend your whole day here. Perfect place for a picnic too.

4. Have a girls night

There is nothing better than grabbing a nice dinner with your girl pals to catch up. Make reservations or go get McDonald's and eat it wherever. You do you, girl.

5. The farmers market

YES! Get up early with your friends and ride your bike to your local farmers market. Homemade waffles, donuts, and fresh fruits and veggies are where it is at! This is an awesome way to start your day and makes for such a fun morning.


Whatever you decide to do this summer, have fun and live it up. We all know just how fast it goes by.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
