Things To Do In New Hampshire In The Summer

Being in New Hampshire, there is an abundance of things to do. You are surrounded by the ocean, mountains, and just an hour away from Boston. Here are just a few of the many things that you can do in New Hampshire.

1. Go to Downtown Portsmouth

Easily one of the cutest towns in New Hampshire -- Downtown Portsmouth has so many things to do. With a wide variety of places to eat that range from burritos at Dos Amigos to breakfast food at The Friendly Toast, which was voted number four by Good Morning America for best breakfast spots in the country. It has the adorable small town appeal, but has so much to do that makes the town perfect for anyone looking for a good time.

2. Go to Lake Winnipesaukee

Head to New Hampshire's biggest lake for the day. Not only can you go swimming and enjoy going out in the boat, but you can enjoy the beautiful scenery that the mountains around it provide.

3. Go to a Drive-In Movie

Step back to the 1950's and enjoy this now rare way of watching a movie. Nestled in Weirs Beach in Laconia, the drive-in movie theater allows you to watch a movie from the comfort of your car. It also allows you to watch two hit movies for the price of one!

4. Go Hiking

New Hampshire seems to have an endless amount of hiking trails. Take the day, some water, and some healthy snacks -- enjoy nature while hiking among some of the most beautiful trails in the country. Some favorites to New Hampshire natives are Mount Major and Castle in the Clouds.

5. Go to the Hot Air Balloon Festival

Located in Pittsfield and Hillsborough -- it only comes around once a year. It's a great place to go if you want to enjoy the hot air balloons, eat some fair food, and buy local crafts. Hot air balloon rides are given to those visiting and the setting off at sunset is a sight that everyone should see in their lifetime.

6. Go to the Beach

Even though we are the state with the shortest amount of coastline, there's still plenty to enjoy at the beach. Head down to Hampton to enjoy the typical entertaining beach feel or head to Rye to just enjoy a nice day on the ocean.

7. Go to a Fishercats Game

Major league baseball games can be expensive and aren't always convenient because of the high levels of traffic. Nestled right in Manchester, take a day to enjoy minor league baseball and a few hot dogs in the stadium.

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.

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.
