Fun Things To Do In Orlando Besides Theme Parks

Sunday at Farmers Market.

A great way to spend your Sunday is by going to the Farmers Market at Lake Eola Park, in downtown Orlando. Lots of fresh food, plants, and handmade craft items. This place is also dog friendly, so if you have a furr-friend, there is no need to leave him/her at home!


Spend your afternoon at Baldwin Park

A perfect way to relax and enjoy your afternoon is by going for a walk around Baldwin Park. You can walk, run, or rent a bike and roam around this beautiful community. There are restaurants, cute shops, and a dog park, so there is a bit for everyone.



Walk around Park Avenue

Located in Downtown Winter Park. This place has many good restaurants, cafes, shops, boutiques and museums to spend a perfect day with the family. This is a dog-friendly destination for pets all sizes, with a water station for your furr-friend in every corner. I usually recommend going on weekdays since it can get pretty busy on the weekends.


Rent a kayak at Wekiva Island

Located in the Headwaters of Wekiva River. This is a great place to relax and spend your weekend, swim in the springs, and rent a canoe, kayak or paddleboard to paddle along the river and make as many stops as you like. At the Island, there is a beach volleyball court for you to play with your friends, drink and eat. This is the best place to sit back, relax, and enjoy life.


Lunch at Shake Shack, Downtown Winter Park

This place is personally one of my favorites. The food is already amazing, but this place’s location in particular makes it one of the best places to have lunch in Orlando, FL. It has an outdoor patio space, with a stunning hidden view of the Lake Killarney, where you can see an amazing sunset view over the lake while you enjoy your delicious shack-burger. It also has a ping-pong table where you can play with your friends. And don't forget this place also has a Doggy-Menu, because the best places are always dog friendly! This place is a must-go if you are located in the Central Florida area.

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.
