"Wait, where is that?" is the response I get from most people when I'm not in my hometown area and I tell them I live in San Ramon. I usually just say that I live an hour away from San Francisco, but then sometimes people ask for the specific town which I know they won't recognize. Nevertheless, I tell them I live in San Ramon with my best "you asked for it" face, and watch as their face goes from a confused look to one of sympathy that seems to say, "I don't know where your little town is and have never heard of it, but it sounds cool!" But, if anyone has ever wanted to visit San Ramon (because they realized it was on the map) or that lives in San Ramon and wants suggestions on what types of things there are to do around there, allow me to be your local activities director!

1. Start the morning off right at the local Starbucks

I recommend any of the shaken iced teas! Also, shout out to the amazing baristas who work there and have kindly allowed me to move in during the school semester.

2. Go for a shopping spree at the wonderful haven that is Target.

3. Go to the San Ramon Community Center and take part in one of the many art, dance and music classes they offer.

4. Eat lunch at the many restaurants (which display a variety of different cultural cuisines) that are located in different plaza's and marketplaces.

5. Walk off your lunch while taking a scenic and refreshing walk on the Iron Horse Trail.

6. Learn about the history of the town and the area/other towns around it by going to visit the Museum of the San Ramon Valley...wait, no...my bad, sorry that's in Danville.

7. Spend a nice evening going to see a movie at the local theater.

8. End your day with some well-deserved dessert- you can choose from either delicious fro-yo or ice cream!

And that, folks, concludes the activities list of all of the hot spots that San Ramon is known for and has to offer (this town is best known for its nightlife if you couldn't tell).

But in all honesty, I'm so grateful that I grew up in this town that gave me a safe, calm, and fun environment to live in and explore. Go San Ro!

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.
