10 Things You Should Definitely Add To This Summer’s Bucket List
Sarah Richman

Start your summer bucket list now! Thinking of things you're going to do makes the rest of the year that much easier.

1. Music Festival


Whether its Coachella, or Governor’s Ball, Electric Zoo, Firefly Music festival or Lollapalooza. There is one in almost every state. This is definitely something you should experience at least once.

2. Karaoke Bar


Scream at the top of your lungs with your closest friends, celebrate the summer and celebrate each other.

3. Beer Olympics/True American tournament

4. Concerts

Dancing to your favorite band or singer, or even someone you don’t know, is always something to look forward to.

5. A hike with friends


I am not very athletic but even I want to go on a hike with my friends this summer, somewhere where we can sit at the top and just sit and look at the view.

6. Take a road trip


Even if it’s just for one night, go for a long drive. Stop at a gas station and buy candy, make a playlist for your trip and take the time to get to know who you are with even better than you thought you did.

7. Go to a drive-in or outdoor Movie theatre


Movies are always fun, switch it up by watching it from your car or from a blanket or lawn chair.

8. Beach days/Lake days


Go to someone’s summerhouse or find the closest lake, sit there all day, tanning and feeling the sun. Read a book, play music, this is by far one of the best parts of summer.

9. Go to an amusement park, carnival or theme park


Disney Land, Six Flags, Hershey Park, Great wolf lodge, Harry Potter world, or Splish Splash. A long and fun day sure to be one of your best days this summer.

10. Go camping

It can be part of your road trip, or it can just be very close by. Making S'mores, telling stories and sleeping in a tent. It can be so uncomfortable but so memorable and fun at the same time.

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.
