6 Great Things About Savannah, Georgia

I've seen New York City, Nashville, and Atlanta, but none of these cities compare to Savannah. This little town is bursting at the seams with art, culture, and fun. Life here brings along many great memories that are unmatched by any I have made while traveling.

1. Savannah Bananas

Savannah and surrounding areas enjoy Saturday nights with the Savannah Bananas at the historic Grayson Stadium. (who doesn't enjoy a good baseball game?)

2. Savannah Feels Like Home

Savannah is small enough to possess a distinct feeling of home. Whether you see a girl you played on a rec soccer team with in the second grade, or a girl you follow on Instagram, all of the youth in Savannah seems to be interconnected with one another.

3. SkateFest

December is the time to strap on a pair of ice skates! Savannah's Skatefest brings all the fun of skating on an iced over lake while having the comfort of knowing that it is probably seventy-something degrees outside the Civic Center.

4. Broughton Street

Around Broughton Street is one of the best places to explore cute little stores and restaurants. Shopping here is a huge pass time (big apology to my parent's wallet for this one.) Civvies Thrift Shop and Tequila Town creates more foot traffic than one would believe here in Savannah.

5. City Market

City Market has a few local gems up its sleeve. The giant fountains coming from the ground that light up at night on Ellis Square bring about a surprising amount of entertainment for all ages. Local art galleries lay hidden on the second floor of City Market. Above all, the restaurants are too phenomenal for words. Vinny Van Go Go's serves up pizza slices the size of your head. Seriously. The slices are huge.

6. Saint Patrick's Day Parade

Savannah's famous St. Patrick's Day Parade is the city's Super Bowl. People line the streets and fill the squares decked out in green. The hardcore paraders start to gather around seven in the morning to get a good spot. Much of the youth fills squares (my personal favorite will always be Chippewa Square). The girls traditionally wear red lipstick to run into the parade to kiss the soldiers marching, which is especially fun for teenage girls to partake in.

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.
