Don't you hate that annoying moment when you watch Snapchat stories of your friends having an awesome summer while you binge watch shows you’ve already seen 100 times and stuff your face with junk food? Sometimes being lazy is a pretty nice feeling, but you could only take so much boredom especially while on summer break.

Here are some things you could do this summer whether you’re alone or with some friends:

1. Start a Youtube channel

YouTube is one of the most growing sources of social media that not only allows you to express yourself, but gain subscribers who fully support your specific attribute. YouTube is also a great way to make money for the new school year!

2. Make yummy snacks with your pals

We all get hungry when we’re bored for some odd reason. So why not make different types of unique snacks that will not only be fun, but it’s a good opportunity to talk about other future summer plans with your friends.

3. Do yoga

Yoga is one of the most common stress relievers. Even though it’s summer we all get stressed over small things especially as young adults. Yoga will help ease your mind and put those small stress problems to the side. A nice hot bath afterward may help too.

4. Volunteer for an animal shelter

According to aspca.org 7.6 million animals are given up for adoption worldwide. So put on some old clothes, and volunteer at a shelter near you. Who knows, you might even end up adding a new edition to the family.


5. Have a movie night

Whether it's classical Hollywood cinema or new Hollywood cinema, you can never go wrong with a movie marathon. Watching a specific genre of films all night long will only create more excitement! Grab some DIY snacks from your kitchen and “Netflix and chill” by yourself, with your family or with some friends.


6. Visit a community clubhouse

A community clubhouse offers different types of activities for people of all ages. There’s a pool, a playground, and shady spots to cook up something on the grill. If you’re not sure where a community clubhouse is around your area, just do a Google search and you are good to go!

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.

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.
