6 Things I Loved About Jamaica

"It was the most beautifully scientific thing I have ever seen."

Towards the end of the summer, my family and I went on a vacation to Montego Bay, Jamaica. It was a perfect place for a vacation as we were able to relax but also stay active. There were so many things about the country that I fell in love with, and below are the most memorable things about the trip.

1. The people

The people in Jamaica are so kind, they help you out whenever they're around, and they check up on you--even if it's not their job. They strike up conversations even though you're a stranger, and they are genuine conversations.

2. The food

The food is amazing, there's no better way to say it. They didn't eat a lot of sweets, their food consists of a lot of meat and spices, which tasted amazing. The Jerk Chicken is an obvious food choice, but it is a wonderful one as well as any jerk fish, curry and rice.

3. The culture

From my experience, Jamaicans are so proud of their culture, and it's such a beautiful thing to watch. They are proud of who they are, and it's wonderful. Between the music that brings them together and their general compassion, they have a reason to be proud of who they are.

4. The Luminous Lagoon

We went to this on our third night in Jamaica, and I have to say that I have never witnessed something so magical, and might never again. Every time I moved in the water, the water reacted by glowing. It was the most beautifully scientific thing I have ever seen.

5. Rick's Cafe

This was an adventure for birthday celebration reasons, and I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. We got there, and I watched people jump for a few minutes before my dad decided to jump off of the highest level he could. I went back up to our dinner seating and grabbed my middle sister so that the two of us could start jumping as well. I went to the lowest jumping area, and it still made my stomach lift. My sisters and I jumped several times during the night, ate amazing food, drank amazing drinks and listened to amazing music.

6. Mystic Mountain

This was an amazing outing with just my sisters and my dad. We woke up early in the morning and got a ride all the way over to Mystic Mountain where we went on a zipline course, took the Bobsled ride and went up and down the mountain using a skylift.

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.

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.
