What To Do In Springfield On Spring Break?
Desiree Nixon

With all of the recent travel advisories, it is likely that you are staying home for spring break. You may be concerned that you are not going to have any cool stories to tell if you stay in Springfield. But, that is just not the case. This city is full of many unique things to do.

Springfield is one of the best suburban cities; with that come lots of places to go outside and experience nature. On your spring break list, be sure to check out some of the amazing parks and trails. We have everything from a Greenway Trail that is throughout the city all the way to Springfield Lake

After you go hiking, you are definitely going to be hungry. Try something new. Springfield is one of the best places for local food. You can go to the Aviary French Cafe or Maria's Mexican Restaurant. You can eat some fried tacos or amazing crepes. When . you are done eating you can go pick up some Andy's Frozen Custard. It is a great dessert.

Now after what some people may consider boring, you may wonder what fun things can I do here. Well, you can visit Wonders of Wildlife, this is a world-recognized aquarium just a few minutes from the campuses.

If that is not your thing, no fear we have some gaming places here too. You can go hit up 1984 downtown for some vintage gaming or Incredible Pizza. Those may sound childish. But, trust me -the over-analytical journalist that I am- it is fun! While you are downtown, go shopping.

We have some amazing little downtown shops from 5 Pound Apparel to Stick It In Your Ear. After all of these adventures, you may still be looking for more.

You may be disappointed that you are not going anywhere for spring break. But, you do not need to go anywhere. You can stay here and have all of the fun opportunities and memories that you need!

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.

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.
