Yes, it's finally that time! Classes are ending and the summer vibes are sinking in. While I might be taking summer classes and working, there's still time to live it up and soak up some sun this summer. Here's a few fun and local ideas for those of you that haven't figured out your plans just yet and want to stay close to the upstate home.

1. Carowinds

Call everything off for a day on the lazy river or the fastest roller-coaster. Or even get season passes to your favorite amusement park and take all the friends you can.

2. Concerts

Look up concerts happening near you, so many people tour during this time and I'm sure you can find something you are interested in. Also, I know downtown Greenville always has festivals or events where local bands can celebrate their music with the community, and they are usually free or cheap.

3. Local museums

This is probably better for those super humid days, stay inside activities with AC.

4. Greenville Zoo

No one is never too old for the zoo.

5. City Scape Winery

It's in Pelzer, and I am sure the wine and cute sitting areas are worth it.

6. Nature trails

There's one at Lake Conestee Nature Park and other beautiful areas for free or little cost.

7. GHS Swamp Rabbit Trail

Good for some exercise, but walking or biking all through Greenville has some nice views.

8. Falls Park on the Reedy River Picnic

Or anything in downtown, like shopping or garbing some really good Asian food.

9. Golfing

They are sprinkled all throughout South Carolina if you are interested.

10. Discovery Island Waterpark

Not too expensive and fun with kids and dipping dots.

11. Greenville Center for Creative Arts

Definitely worth the masterpieces you can paint with friends.

12. SkyZone

Some of the best dodgeball matches ever happen here.

13. Guitar Center

Conveniently in the same plaza as Skyzone on Laurens Road. It's great for music lovers to just play the day away on all kinds of different instruments.

14. Visit the local mountains

Pairs Mountain and Caesar's Head are great spots to chill or spend time in the cool waters.

15. Lake Hartwell

There are so many things you could do at not just this lake, like fishing, boating, cookouts, and camping. You get the idea.

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.
