5 Things To Do In Georgia This Memorial Day Weekend
Dc Party Life

Memorial Day weekend is around the corner and there’s more in town than families coming over for and going to the pool. Sure, those are things that we could do every year but what about doing something different this year? Atlanta has things for every holiday so why don’t you go out and explore?

1. Stone Mountain Park

Stone Mountain Park has different things from a special show that celebrates the men and women who fought for our country, those who are currently fighting and their families. It also kicks off a very nice laser show and fireworks! It happens the entire weekend leading up to Memorial Day.


2. Atlanta Jazz Festival

Throughout the month of May, the Atlanta Jazz Festival captivates the fans of Jazz by celebrating the history of the art. The festival has performances from Jazz legends and up-and-coming Jazz musicians who want to get their music out there. The festival ends with a huge concert on Memorial Day, which would be May 29th. And the best thing that any college student loves to hear is that it’s FREE!!

3. Decatur Arts Festival

During the weekend leading up to Memorial Day, Decatur has a festival down by the square which has food, music, comedy, children’s parade, literary events and more!

4. DC Super Friends at Six Flags

Any college student like myself loves to go to Six Flags whenever they get the chance, so why not during Memorial Day? This kid attraction features the SUPERMAN Tower of Power where you can unleash your inner superhero, The Bat-copters, where you can help keep Gotham safe with Batman himself, and more!

5. Callaway Gardens

During the Memorial Day Weekend, bring your family down for their annual Water Ski and Wake-board tournament, water activities and more. Even after it gets dark, they will have movies, music, and fireworks.

Now that you can see what's here in Georgia, why don't you save the cookouts for Independence Day and swimming for summer? Get out there and have fun!!

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.
