It's here. The thing we all have been waiting a long time for. Ok maybe not all of us, but I sure have. The newest recreational game in Auburn is foot golf, and I can't wait to play. I got absurdly excited when I heard. Like Chandler Bing excited.

What is FootGolf?

FootGolf is an exciting blend of soccer and golf. It really is exactly what it seems like, with it being basically playing golf but instead of clubs and a small golf ball, you use your foot and a soccer ball. The hole is usually about 21 inches in diameter. You might think of this a just a field with a hole, but the developers of these course are really looking to design the courses like golf courses, to make it a more interesting experience.

Where is it?

You can find a few courses in some random places, but because this sport is so new they are pretty rare. This is why it's so exciting that one just opened here in Auburn! The course here can be found at The Greens down on South College. You bring your own ball or rent one there for $4. The course is 18 holes over 2,228 yards. Each hole is marked with a colored flag, with red being a par 3, white is par 4, and blue is par 5. Cost is $14 for adults and $8 for juniors (16 and under).

So Who's Ready To Go?

Whether you have some people who really want to get competitive, or a group just looking for something fun and different to do, this game will definitely be something completely brand new for people. I'm guessing since it's kicking a soccer ball, normal golf attire isn't expected, so I will be showing up in athletic shorts and a tee ready to play as soon as I have time.

Take some friends, grab a ball, and go try it out!

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.
