Summer is here and so are some of this year's best blockbuster hits.

Summer is here and so are some of this year's best blockbuster hits.

Summer is here and so are some of this year's best blockbuster hits.

1. Captain America: Civil War

If you haven't caught this flick yet, you're missing out. It's a major part of the Marvel Universe and will be important context for upcoming Marvel movies. Most people are pretty distinctly either Team Captain America or Team Iron Man, so pick a team and head to the theater.

2. Love and Friendship

This Jane Austin-esque movie captures the glory of the era with the wit and sarcasm of modern times. This movie is critically acclaimed and stars the amazing, beautiful, talented Kate Beckinsale. The comedy is gold and elevates this movie beyond a simple chick flick.

3. Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising


One of the movies I've looked forward to year all year. Not only was Neighbors #1 so hilarious I would be looking forward to any sequel, but I personally find most movies involving sororities amazing (Legally Blonde, Sorority Wars and Sydney White, just to name a few). If it came out during the school year, I would have gone out to see it with my sorority sisters but I still get to see it with my biological sister here in Florida.

4. X-Men: Apocalypse


While it seems like this is the thousandth X-Men movie made, it's been a few years and I can only hope that at this point they're only making movies when they have a good cast and decent plot. Also, I have serious FOMO now that Deadpool has really entered this universe with his own movie (I don't really count that X-Men Origins movie, but who does?).

5. Finding Dory


While I feel like no one is looking forward to this movie quite like Ellen Degeneres herself, I might be a close second. I don't quite think people will be lining up to watch the midnight showing, but I, myself am strongly considering it. It's a sequel to a childhood classic. Where can you go wrong?

6. The BFG


I don't know about you, but I grew up reading the BFG! So excited they made a live action movie of the book and cannot wait to see how it turns out. If you didn't read the book growing up it was written by Roald Dahl who is most famously the author of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. If that's not enough to entice you, it's directed by Steven Spielberg.

7. The Legend of Tarzan


Apparently this summer is full of nostalgia because Disney continues it's series of live action renditions (also including The Jungle Book, Beauty and the Beast and Cinderella) making Tarzan the latest to join the series. I'm excited to see how this is portrayed and if the chemistry and magic of the original remains.

8. The Secret Life of Pets


If you haven't seen the trailer for this movie, stop reading this article and watch it right now. It looks downright hilarious. Disney has been killing it this year and this will no doubt be a wonderful addition to the Disney franchise.

The line up this summer looks great, so grab your popcorn and enjoy!

P.S. the blue color theme was entirely coincidental. Lol.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
