Last Minute Summer Locations To Visit
Georgann Kaliroff

By the time we know it, summer will be officially over and most of us will be moving back to school. There are plenty of fun last-minute excursions that can be done without much planning. For the next few weeks, here are a few activities and places to check out.

1. Paddle Out in Manasquan, New Jersey

Rent out a paddle board or kayak for as much time as you please. Go around the Manasquan Inlet and Glimmer Glass Bridge and enjoy the views of the boats and beach houses. Make sure to call ahead to see if the current is not too rough.

2. PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey

Throughout the summer PNC Bank Arts Center hosts outdoor concerts for big headliners. Part of the venue is covered by an awning and the other part is considered the lawn. The lawn usually has cheap tickets and attendees can bring chairs and blankets. There are still some concerts left with cheap tickets. Grab a pair, tailgate before and have a great experience.

3. Philadelphia Zoo

The Philly Zoo is an entertaining spot to visit if you want to walk around and encounter beautiful animals. Right now the weather and temperature are perfect. Check out the zoo and maybe even stop by Philadelphia to get a bite to eat after a long day.

4. The Beach

All the beaches along the Jersey shore are available to your convenience. Whether you are an hour or only 20 minutes away, take a trip to the beach to relax and swim in the ocean. Summer is short, so why not take advantage?

5. New York City

And of course, there is always the "Big Apple." New York City has so many activities and places to visit. On a nice summer day, visit the parks or just take a stroll in the Meat Packing district to browse the quaint shops and dine at the restaurants.

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.
