Its officially summer here in Houston! You can bet I will be living by the pool, and consistently eating watermelon for the next few months (if this rain ever goes away). There is so much I want to do and see this summer, and after nine straight months of waking up at 6 a.m., homework homework homework, tests, quizzes and an exhausting schedule, I am more than ready to relax and just hang out with friends. Now that I will be moving out of the state, there are still a few places on my bucket list I want to see and/or revisit before my move-in date!

Galveston Beach

The Strand

I will definitely be checking out all of the cute little shops one last time before I move. Yaga's, Jammin, Star Drug Store, Mod Cafe and Board Game Island will be missed, and are a couple you must check out!

Pleasure pier

Believe it or not, I've always been too much of a baby to ride the Iron Shark Roller Coaster...this summer, I'm going to make it happen! Tickets for a full day of rides are $26.99.

Sugar and Cloth Color wall

I've never been, and I want to take some colorful pictures with some friends! Who wants to come with?

Austin graffiti walls

Austin in general is such a cool place, but have you seen these graffiti walls?

ACL

One of the largest Music Festivals in Texas! From Kendrick Lamar, AWOLNATION, to Willie Nelson, to The Chainsmokers, to Mumford and Sons, ACL is sure to have amazing artists for everyone. Tickets are up to $255 for one weekend and $100 for a day pass.

Jacob's Well

Would you take the plunge? The water is crystal clear and did I mention freezing. A place I definitely want to go back to hang out this summer!

Pedernales State Park

I've never been to Pedernales, but the pictures are beautiful!

Frio River Tubing

Tubing on the Frio, where a good time is guaranteed. Hoping to rent a cabin and some tubes this summer!

Hamilton Pool

I've only heard about and seen pictures of the Hamilton pool, but from this picture, you can understand why it's on my bucket list.

Houston outdoor movies

This summer, Houston is putting on many different outdoor movies throughout the area. Schedules have been released online!

Freedom over Houston

Held at Eleanor Tinsley Park on Buffalo Bayou, Freedom over Texas puts on live music and an amazing firework show. This year, Darius Rucker will be performing and is sure to be a fun time this 4th of July!

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.
