Five Things You MUST Try This Summer

Summer: long days, warm weather, school is out, and everyone is free to do as they please.

Though summer is not one of my all time favorite seasons, it is one that I enjoy. F

Here are 5 things you MUST do this summer!

1. Swimming

I swear I was born to be a mermaid, I love to swim in any kind of water pool, lake, or ocean. If it's water and safe to be in, I'm there! I'll swim until I'm a filed with water wrinkles. I'll most likely sit in the water till I grow fins.

2. Amusement Parks

I love summer nights at amusement parks. I love the rides - from roller coasters to bumper cars - as well as the food you come across: large fries all the way to funnel cake with ice cream. When I can walk out of a park and have sun burn in places I didn't think could get sun burned, I know I've had a good day.

3. The Beach

I'm not one for heat....or sand...or hot sand at that, but I love going to the beach for one reason: I love being IN the ocean. I love being BY the ocean. The ocean is so calming & pretty to look at - especially at sunrise and sunset.


4. Reading

I love nothing more than laying around on a warm summer day, in the AC, on my sofa, with a good book to be lazy with... a book I can read while I fall asleep... a book that makes running through my dreams a whole lot of fun. The more books I read during the summer the more books I get to buy in the fall.

5. Movies

Summer time is a great time for movies because lots of summer blockbusters come out. Although I'll go see most new movies when they are still in theaters, I'll go see them AGAIN during the summer. On a really hot day, a cold movie theater is the best place to have a good cool time.

These five things are always at the top of my list during the summer months. I can't wait to kick off my summer!

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.
