Swimming is a great way to exercise or cool off in the summer
Margaret Whittel

Swimming is an all around great sport many people do it for fun or they do it competitively. It is a great way to stay in shape or cool off on a summer day.

1. Swimmers always have at least five bathing suits because we have practice every day and normally people don't wear the same suit unless they really have to. (I did a few times).

2. We have multiple pairs of goggles and we all have our favorite kind. I prefer Speedo Vanquisher because they suction to your face better in my opinion.

3. You've had multiple swim caps break on you. They really hurt when they break especially when it's on your head, they are latex ones instead of silicone.

4. You have so many swim caps that you can't even count them all on one finger. Everyone gets one for my high school team and then we all have so many extras it's not even funny. I have seven or eight with my name on them from school.

5. Racing suits are hard to come by. Normally you find your two favorite kinds and stick with them. My favorites are TYR and Speedo. Your suit also has to be super tight if you want to go fast. Swim suits are the most important thing because there are so many kinds out there you just have to find your favorite brand.

Swimming is an all around fun sport that can be a bit stressful sometimes; but all in all, it is a very fun sport. It's something I personally love and hope that enthusiasts will enjoy and relish

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.
