Make This Summer Count!
Cody Schneider

Whether you like it or not, summer is approaching us here in Colorado very quickly and we all want to make the best of the nice weather and great events that Colorado has to offer throughout the summer season. I thought I'd make available a list of things you absolutely must do for a once in a lifetime summer without even leaving the state!

1. Global Dance Festival Colorado

I had the pleasure of going to the "pre-event" for the 2017 Global Dance Festival called Global Dub Festival and that was a night for the books if you enjoy music, people, Sports Authority Field or dancing, this one will definitely kick off your summer on a good note with a day filled with energy and an incredible show put on by all the artists.

2. Greeley Stampede

If music isn't your thing, I recommend you check out the Greeley Stampede and all of its glory. You can check out the fair, the bull riding, and many more family friendly events that are sure to take you back to your childhood and the county fairs that we all loved so dearly.

3. Hot Air Balloon festival

Although it may not be as grand as the international Hot Air Balloon Festival, this one is still a sight to see with your family and friends.

4. Vans Warped Tour

Last, but definitely not least and also my personal favorite of the summer, Vans Warped Tour. For all music enthusiasts, there is something for everyone. The lineup features a wide spread of music from Metal to Post Hardcore. With all of the causes that have booths at the festival, you are sure to find something to support like A Voice For The Innocent which supports victims of sexual assault and rape.

If you still can't find something to do then start something and let's make this summer count!

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.
