How To Keep Austin Weird
Thousand Wonders

This past weekend I experienced the biggest tease of MY LIFE! My first ever collegiate fall "break" consisted of a long weekend with an October Friday included. I was however grateful that I left campus and Waco all together and experience a whole new world. After finishing all homework that was due Monday I met up with some friends and we headed out to Austin for one of the best trips I've ever had.

If you need some ideas on how to Keep Austin Weird don't worry you've come to the right place.

Voodoo Doughnuts

"Best Things come in pink boxes" It's fairly new to the popular Sixth Street downtown area but the line greets you at the door because their doughnuts are larger than your face but you eat them like they're munchkins from Dunkin.

South Congress

Shopping. Food. And Perfect Instagram aesthetic galore! Confession time I haven't been here yet but several of my friends have and they nothing but praise for the neighborhood that lies just outside of the downtown area.

Hope Outdoor Gallery (Graffiti Park)

Are you afraid or loose rocks and getting your nails dirty with spray paint cans? If you said yes to both then GO if you said no to both then REALLY GO and if you said yes to one and not the other then PACK YOUR BAGS! Hope has something for everyone. It's a great chance to take in all of the culture and express yourself freely. My favorite part was meeting so many new people from all over that just come to the park to express what's in their mind.

Thrifting

Thrift shops are ALWAYS the move whether it's a Tuesday and you cleared everything off your checklist or if you're in Austin for a Saturday. With Austin having a keen eye on all things creative their clothes vintage or contemporary reflect that. I got my new favorite pair of jean shorts for $2.92!!!!! It's the best time killer/excuse for a brand new wardrobe need I say more??

AI music threatens creativity

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.
