You live in Louisville? I Wasn't Sure.
gotolouisville

Louisville is a bustling city. From the weekly concerts on Fourth street to the crazy things you see sitting on Bardstown road for 10 minutes. If you live in Louisville, I'm sure everyone knows, because the things that happen here are definitely picture worthy. Here are 6 occasions that you have to attend if you live in Louisville.


1. Thunder over Louisville. This attracts more than just locals, this is a huge event that people travel to see -- and is well worth it despite the insane traffic you endure after. A 10 minute drive can easily turn into and hour and a half. Who doesn't love fireworks though, really?

2. Oaks. Held the Friday before the Derby each year. It's where the fillies run. However, this event is really just an excuse for college students to dress up and take pictures in the infield because we're all too poor to get tickets anywhere else.

3. Derby. The Kentucky derby. This is a thing known outside of Louisville, outside of Kentucky. Honestly, famous people come and where big hats and watch "the greatest two minutes in sports." Which is pretty cool. Everybody likes watching horses.

4. Forecastle and Louder than Life. Two HUGE music festivals that you should attend at least once. Also, completely picture worthy.

5. Ironman. While a really cool event, also really inconvenient. Another one of those, don't drive anywhere because you'll never be able to get back home kind of things. If you compete in this race, cheers to you! I got tired just watching you all run at 11 at night while I couldn't get back to my apartment because all. the. roads. are. closed.

6. Festivals. The amount of festivals in Louisville are amazing. There's something for everyone, from the St. James Art festival, Louisville Brewfest, to the Waterfront Independence festival. The options are limitless and if your instagram and snapchat aren't making you look like you live your best life after these, I'm not sure what you're doing.

Here's to cool memories and an even cooler social media presence because Louisville has really got it all.

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.
