If you're someone who enjoys simple times in a beautiful city, this list is for you! Here are a few of my favorite ways to spend time in Charleston.

1. Going to the beach to watch the sunrise

This is my top favorite thing to do in Charleston. Folly beach has some of the best sunrises on the east coast! They’re always so beautiful and it’s such a peaceful time. There are only a few other people out on the beach also enjoying the sunrise and a few surfers out. This is such a nice time to clear your head and enjoy the beauty.

2. Spending the day at the beach

Charleston is surrounded by amazing beaches! Sullivan’s Island and Folly are the closest but Kiawah and Hilton Head aren’t too far. I always end up at Folly because I love the laid-back, funky vibe. Swimming in the ocean, tanning, walking along the shore, hanging out with friends, and grabbing lunch at cute cafes is the best way to spend a day!

3. Going to health food cafes

Health food cafes are always popping up in Charleston and that makes me so happy! They’re all so cute and have such great food! I love indulging in healthy foods in a cute café while catching up with friends.

4. Going to brunch

To start, brunch is a big deal in Charleston! Charlestonians definitely know how to brunch. Getting together with friends for brunch is so much fun! You get to enjoy delicious food and coffee or mimosas (or both); what’s not to love?

5. Spending time at local coffee shops

There are so many coffee shops all over Charleston. They all have great coffee but each has a different vibe. There is pretty much a coffee shop to go to for any mood you may be in. I love hanging out at coffee shops while catching up with friends! Coffee and friends are some of my favorite things.

6. Going to breweries

More and more breweries are popping up around Charleston. They have great beer and like coffee shops in Charleston, each has a different vibe. You can go to breweries with cool rooftops, nice outdoor patios, and most are pet-friendly. Who doesn’t love seeing dogs when out for a drink?

7. Walking around the battery

Walking around the battery has to be one of the best ways to clear your head. It’s so peaceful walking along the water. It’s also fun to walk around with friends talking about everything going on in life. The sunsets are also pretty spectacular by the battery. One of my friends and I used to ride our bikes around the battery at sunset in the summer and it was one of our favorite things to do together.

8. Walking around the beautiful city

Something as simple as walking around the city is such a fun thing to do when you live in a city as beautiful as Charleston. I am pretty much able to walk everywhere I go in Charleston, and that makes me so happy! There is so much beauty everywhere you look and I always notice new things while walking around.

Charleston is an amazing place with so much to offer and I hope this makes you want to get out and enjoy the city!

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.
