5 Things To Do Your First Year The The University Of Tampa
HDR Creme

As college begins, you leave home and move to a new city with many more adventures. Who couldn't use a tour guide to help you find places in your new home? Remember that ice cream spot you'd wait in line for hours at every spring opening? Or the roller skating rink you spent all you childhood fridays skatin with your friends at?

1. TOP GOLF

Not only fun but if you take a group it's also inexpensive. At 40 per hour you can have a group of 4 and only pay $10 each for a fun activity to do instead of sitting in your dorm, bored! As well as roof top garden you can also enjoy a dinner at Top Golf and overall a Good Friday night plan!

2. ISKY INDOOR SKYDIVING

A little more expensive of an idea but still who wouldn't want to try indoor skydiving at least once? Same thrill, less risk! It's a win-win situation. Coincidentally location right next to Top Golf it's defiantly worth the money to go try ! Take your friends and go fly.

3. BEACHES, OBVIOUSLY

I keep getting asked if they're good beaches in Tampa and while there are none right in Tampa that I'm aware of, they're many reasonably distance beaches to the area. Clearwater beach not only has a great view of a beautiful bride but also is open all night ! I've definitely enjoyed nights at that beach past midnight and hopefully new Tampa teens will too! A few more beaches close by are St.Petes, Howard Beach and Annamarie Island.

4. TARPON SPRINGS

Another great adventure close to Tampa is Tarpon Springs! The little Greek town holds so much culture and love for its background. Tarpon Springs also has boat rides, one of which (the dolphin cruise) drops you off at a private island to collect shells. The other one I've enjoys is a sponge diving cruise! Both fun and an inexpensive enjoyable experience. The food at Tarpon Springs also deserves five stars!!

5. GRAND PRIX

Located in Tampa are not one, but TWO Grand Prix go kart racing tracks. The first one is indoor and contains two seperate tracks to race, at $36 for 3 rides, you could even save your last ride for another day if you want to! It's so worth the money, the thrill alone is amazing. The other track is outdoor, also just as thrilling and a great idea for those hot days when you don't want to be stuck inside!.

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.
