Make Summer '16 Go Down In History

All summer sixteen, playing dirty not clean.

In every college town there are pros and cons to the summer of a college student.

Let's see.

For the cons of the summer... you have to leave your newfound home. Whether your home is a college dorm, apartment or house, leaving this place hurts, and you know you miss this place everyday. You leave your friends, Greek brothers/sisters and the people who struggle through college with you on a daily basis, and you leave your favorite new restaurants and hangout spots. Leaving these places puts a temporary hole in your heart.

The pros of the summer are obvious. Your brain gets to relax because, let's be honest, everyone's brain is practically mushed by May after finishing his/her last final. Also, let's mention summer flings, connecting with your high school BFF'S, working and actually having money for about three months until your life is yet to be consumed again by school, and getting fed by your parents. That's pretty great, too.

Summer '16 is special. You will never be this young again, and who knows what the future might hold, so live it up. So many headliners have happened, both good and bad, like the gorilla and the toddler at the Cincinnati Zoo, the unfortunate shootings in Orlando, and, honestly, things are kind of happening all over the place. Some plus sides in my life have consisted of Spotify costing $0.99 for three months, buying a Kate Spade purse for 50% on Memorial Day weekend, and eating Pringles by the pound.

So, let's live this summer up. Go to the beach. Go to the lake. Work a little (so you might actually have some money to get through Fall and Spring semester). Spend time with your family (you know you miss them). Meet cute boys. Pop some fireworks. Eat your body weight in ice cream. Do what makes you happy. We all know that time will fly by, and soon you will be studying and probably eating Ramen noodles or TV dinners every night. Spend your time wisely, but most of all have fun, take lots of cute pictures and make memories that will last a lifetime.

I knew this summer would be special right from the beginning when I heard "Summer Sixteen" by Drake.

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.
