Carrollton, Georgia is located 50 miles outside of Atlanta. Carrollton is a city that comes to life through an active community that helps build the town. In the city, you can find the University of West Georgia, and attend concerts and events throughout the year. For the past 17 years (basically my whole life), I've had the pleasure to be a part of the community. I'm in love with the city, and these are the reasons why.

1. The scenery

Carrollton's beauty overwhelms me on so many levels. As a photographer, the scenery is an important aspect, and Carrollton is a perfect place. If you walk on the Greenbelt, you can witness how beautiful the city is. This 18-mile walk wraps around the city with beautiful scenery that I love.

2. The food

One thing that I personally love about this city, is the different types of food. Like most cities, Carrollton has fast food joints; however, there are so many locally owned restaurants throughout the city. I took this picture while eating at the Pita Pit (YUMMY).

3. Adamson Square

The Square has to be one of my favorite places to go. There is a variety of restaurants and stores throughout the Square, and it is a hangout place for the college students in the town. The Square is a great place to support locals.

4. Events and activities

Also located on Adamson Square, the Amphitheater hosts concerts from local artists, singers, and performers. This helps local performers to hopefully go further in their careers.

Carrollton is an active city.With this being said, there are plently of activities that you can enjoy in the city. Most of the events are kid friendly, and have activities for children. For example, one of the most attended events in Carrollton is May fest. May fest, hosted on Adamson Square, is an event for local businesses to get further out into the community, and become more popularized.

5. A giving community

The tiny but mighty community of Carrollton has made an impact on Georgia, and is continuing to make an impact on the city and the state. The community never fails to help out, and brings everyone together. Organizations throughout the city and county help give back to the community by working in community events and doing community service.

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

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.
