Summer Bucket List

Ahhh.. the beginning of summer. Its everyone's favorite time of year... toes in the sand, the smell of burgers on the grill, a refreshing drink in your hand-- it doesn't take much for summer to be great. A car ride with the windows down, late night fires with friends, and my personal favorite: floating in the ocean as waves crash around you.

While it's really the little moments of relaxation where you just exhale and feel content with life that really make summer great, there are a few things in particular that I think would really be the cherry on top of my ice cream cone this summer. With that said, here is my summer bucket list:

Buy a kiddie pool for my Dogs so they can be as happy and cool as this guy

I really think they'd enjoy it.

Spend an entire night outside stargazing

Just grab all the pillows and blankets in sight, bring my two fluffy goldendoodles with me for company, and any friends that feel like joining me. What could be more rejuvenating then a night under the stars?


Start a water balloon fight

Like, a massive water balloon fight. Lets be honest here, when was the last time you did that!?


Visit NYC and pretend to not be a tourist

I've been before, but always as a tourist. I want to grab a friend who knows where they are going, and pretend I belong for a day. After I live a day as a New Yorker, I'll return to Boston and still conclude that its the best city in the world, but NYC will have been fun.


Go Cliff Jumping

Okay, It doesn't have to be a huge cliff, a quarry or something. Really just a body of water to throw my body into from a big height. And, if I can find a huge slip and slide to speed up the process like that guy- even better!!

Go Pool Hopping

This is a summer favorite. Considering I don't have my own pool to swim in at 2 am, why not find some innocent, oblivious person's pool to borrow for a few minutes??

Bonfire on the beach

I have always thought this would be very fun, but it is also very illegal. Hopefully this summer I can find a place where this is legal and do it!


And finally,

Ride a Jet Ski

I remember riding them when I was little, but I am currently 20-years-old and have never manned a jet ski solo... I NEED TO DO THIS

Whatever you think will really top off your summer, do it!! Why the heck not!? Just go for it... smalls did:

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.
