Places You Must Go In German Village
German Village

There are so many things to do in Columbus, but one of my favorite places to go is German Village. The adorable village has so many little shops and places to go, that you could spend an entire day exploring the village.

1. The Book Loft

The Book Loft is one of the largest bookstores in the country and contains 32 themed rooms full of books. Each rooms contain different themes such as Murder Mystery, Fiction, History and so many more. Little nooks and crannies make this location a maze that I never wanted to get out of. If you enjoy books and exploring in general, this is a must-see.

2. Schmidt's Fudge House

This is a great place to stop and try out sweets while exploring German Village. My sweet tooth is always looking for something new, so trying out a different fudge flavor or sweet whenever I'm in German Village is a must.

3. Shadowbox Live

Shadowbox Live is a non-profit performance troupe that produces plenty of engaging theater and shows. If you are out looking for a source of entertainment that isn't the typical movie showing, this is definitely a place to check out a show.

4. Schwartz Castle

If you are looking for something that deviates from the usual, Schwartz Castle should be up next on your list. The castle is the center of ghost stories and speculation, as it was built in the mid-1800's by a German businessman.

5. COSI

Even though COSI, or the Center of Science and Industry, is technically a little bit outside of German Village, it is something worth visiting. It has interactive science exhibits that made me, a journalism major, interested in science. Now that's saying something.

6. Clay Space

This ceramic studio offers classes and workshops where you are able to share and create personal works of art with clay. It's an inclusive and relaxed environment where you are able to experiment with an art medium you may not always get to try.

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.
