5 Times Vienna Turned Out To Be The Best Weekend Getaway
Karighan Walker-Alicea

A couple weekends ago I took a weekend trip to Vienna, Austria. It may be one of the most beautiful cities I've ever visited! From the food to the massive palaces, Vienna is one of my favorite places I've been so far. Here are my top 5 favorite things from my trip!

1. Schnitzel

I think may have found my new love. After visiting the Belvedere, we chose to have dinner at a Salm Braeu. They had amazing schnitzel! Following our meal there, we ate schnitzel as least once a day for the remainder of our weekend. I was in heaven!

2. Museums

There are so many cool museums in Vienna. I saw the Sigmund Freud museum, the Natural History Museum, the Belvedere, and the Albertina. It was amazing to see Klimt's "The Kiss" in real life at the Belvedere!

3. Wiener Eistraum

While walking around Vienna, we came across Wiener Eistraum. We instantly decided we had to go ice skating while there! It was such a fun time. There were three large rinks and then several paths that go around the area and connect the rinks. The decorations were cute, the music was great, and I didn't fall!

4. The aesthetics

I really enjoyed the color schemes in Vienna! Almost of the buildings are pastels. Everything is light and colorful. It was refreshing to see because most cities are brick and cement.

5. The Nightlife

Every place I went had really great music! It was also cool to meet new people. I met lots of people there on vacation and a bunch of locals. Everyone was very inviting and spoke English very well. My favorite was Chelsea!

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.
