After a bad winter and what was a non-existent spring, summer is almost here for everyone in school. After being stuck inside after the crazy weather that's been going on, many of you might want to get outside and enjoy the newfound sunny weather. Here's a list of some ideas to kick your summer off right.

1. Go to the beach

Yes this is probably something everyone does, but that doesn't mean it's not an incredibly enjoyable time. You can surf, tan, play volleyball, swim, or just enjoy the weather and scenery of the ocean. Its a great way to relax and spend a day hanging out with friends.

2. Summer time = BBQ time

Even if you don't have a BBQ, one of your friends probably do. The summer is a great time to fire up the grill, make some food and just sit and talk with everyone while enjoying the weather. You may feel weird about asking your friend to have a BBQ at their house but no one says no to a summer BBQ. Also, offer to bring something like the plates or some food for it so it's not as hard on your friend.

3. Road trip

Summer is the perfect time to take a road trip. School's out, the weather is great, everything is open and it would be a great time.

4. Stargazing

This is something to definitely do in the summer. It's summer specific because the night's in the summer are warm enough to stay out but not really hot.

5. Jet skiing

Personally, I've never been jet skiing, but it look really fun and it seems like it would be the perfect thing to do on a hot day.

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.
