An Ode To Summer

Summer is a great time of the year.

For many, summer is a coveted time of the year where we finally get to unwind, relax, and escape the daily stresses of school.

Summer hasn’t always been my favorite season, but I’ve been warming up to it (gotta love puns). I’m so used to a daily routine, and I actually prefer a routine over nothing at all. But, I can obviously see why many people love summer so much. You’re finally free! No grades or deadlines for assignments. Yeah, most of us have to work, but it’s not the end of the world. Honestly, a summer job is amazing for many obvious reasons.

I love summer time because, like I previously mentioned before, I finally get to relax. And, everyone is happier and life just feels better this time around. Growing up, I didn't really like summer because I honestly wasn't allowed to do much due to having strict parents. But, everything's completely different now. I'm able to go out and do whatever I want (for the most part).

Summer is when our best memories are usually made. Don’t get me wrong, winter really is my favorite season, but it’s just easier to have a good time in the summer. Also, there are always great movies and new songs coming out. They make the summer even better.

I live for the nights that turn into days and for the hysterical you-had-to-be-there-type of memories. I really hope to create more of those this summer. I also want to reinvent my wardrobe too. There are so many things to do, and many ideas to fulfill. It just takes patience.

Another part of summer is the freedom to sit and binge-watch my favorite TV shows without too much guilt. It's raining out? Watch some Shameless or Black Mirror. Chances are, you could probably catch me binge-watching even on a sunny day too.

This summer I want to take mini trips away from home, such as a day trip to NYC or Philly. I honestly love New York City so much and there's an endless amount of things to do over there. As for Philly, there are always concerts going on so it'd be great to see someone live this summer too. That’s what the summer’s for — enjoying life and living free while you still can.

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.
