Most of us are biased in the sense that we love our home state and think it's the best of them all. In high school, I couldn't wait to get out of New Hampshire to see what the rest of the world had in store for me. I quickly learned that I love New Hampshire and that there isn't another state in the United States that would ever top it. New Hampshire will always be my home and my favorite state, no matter where I end up living. Here are my top 10 reasons why I love it and why you might love it as well.

1. The Fall foliage

New Hampshire is known for its beautiful fall foliage, especially in the Monadnock Region. If you haven't seen it before, I highly recommend taking a trip to see the views for yourself.

2. Mount Monadnock

Why not jump on the band wagon and climb the second most-climbed mountain in the world? No matter what time of year, the views from the top are incredible.

3. No sales tax

Need I say more?

4. The state motto

"Live Free or Die" has to be the best state motto that there is.

5. Hampton Beach

No matter what your views are on Hampton Beach, you're still always down to go for a day trip with some friends.

6. Lake Winnipesaukee

If you're not a fan of the ocean, you can always take a trip to a local lake or Lake Winnipesaukee.

7. The White Mountains

Hike all 48 4,000 footers and you can join their club, or hike the Whites for fun! Either way, you won't be disappointed with the views.

8. The memory of the Old Man on the Mountain

Even though he fell, you can still visit the site of where the Old Man on the Mountain once was.

9. New Hampshire maple syrup

If you don't make maple syrup yourself, you know someone or even a few people who do and are more than willing to share! If you're from the Monadnock Region, you know Ben's Sugar Shack, it's probably your favorite.

10. You can always find peace and quiet

Although there are a few small cities throughout the state, you can always find peace and quiet in NH.

If these 10 reasons didn't convince you that New Hampshire is the best state out there, I highly recommend that you take a trip for yourself and see what you have been missing out on. There are many more things to love about New Hampshire than the few that I listed, but these are the 10 that I love the most. Happy exploring!

AI music threatens creativity

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.
