1. Make time for family

Hanging out with your friends all day and night during summer may seem like the ideal way to spend summer but there is nothing better than making new memories with your family.

2. Give yourself some space

It is okay to not want to do anything one day and give yourself a day to chill and have alone time.

3. Perfect Your craft

If your a college student like me summer is the perfect time to gain more experience in the career path that you have chosen, weather it is internships, special projects or working at a hospital

4.Planning is key.

If your like me (a person on the lazy end of the spectrum) if i don't plan anything fun to do in advance i wont do anything and will miss out on so many cool things i could've done this summer.

5. Go to as many concerts as you can

There is nothing better than going to listen to your favorite band with your best friends in summer. Nothing.

6. Having multiple jobs can be a good thing and a bad thing

While having a steady income during the summer might seem great, the stress of having more than one job and the long hours Aren't.

7. Do something you have never done before.

8. READ!!

9.Watch as many movies as you can.

Lets face it when school starts up again, the time that you spent watching netfix and going to the movies will be cut short, so make a list and watch as many movies or tv series as you can.

10. Work out at least twice a week.


11. Have Fun!

Make summer as stressed free and careless as you can!

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.

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.
