Everything ends and starts in Providence.

The Last Chapter Of Our Summer Trip
Charlene Wang

So now I am coming back to the piece I wrote two weeks ago -- my first family trip in the States. Traveling around the east coast was a lot of fun, and here is more about the scenery, food, and my family!

The Love Statue in Philly

I have seen so many Instagram photos featuring LOVE around the world. Anyhow, I just learned that it was first designed by the Philadelphia city planner Edmund Bacon and architect Vincent Kling in 1965. (The original park is under construction, so the statue has been moved to a nearby park.)

Then we went to the Franklin Institute, which is my brother's favorite haunt of science and models, but I feel that kids love it much more than grown-ups do.

One Night At Yale

We went to Shake Shack and had our first American burgers for dinner. My parents had the Angus beef while I had the mushroom burger. The juicy mouthfeel actually worked really well with the mix of fresh salad.

I was so happy to find the free decaf at the New Haven Hotel, and I am particularly fond of adding a lot of milk into the cafe.

A Week In Boston

In season lobster is definitely the best thing we had! Starting from lobster bisque, lobster roll, to all kinds of lobster feast, we devoured all the best through Boston!

This is how my breakfast looked during the days at Cambridge. I actually have a similar set of breakfast in college too. (Buffet accelerates the achievement of freshmen 15!)

Sunset always captures the best view from the top of the hub. I love the river in Boston as well as the one with mesmerizing water fire.

And our vacation ended in Providence!

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.
