Chicago is a wonderful and beautiful place, along with being a noisy city. Taking a trip to Chicago is always a fun thing to do, but when to go is up to you. It doesn't matter the season because there's always something to do! If you haven't been to Chicago, you should go! Check out these top 10 places to help make your Chicago trip worthwhile!

1. Millennium Park

Millennium Park is where The Bean is located. As you can see above, The Bean is a huge shaped figure that has a reflection. It's tradition to take a visit to this wonderful shape and to take a picture outside it or inside it. Also, it's fun to go and watch people fall when ice skating is offered during Winter.

2. John Hancock Building

This building was completed in 1969 and stands 100 stories tall. This building is known for many things, such as the stores located in it, the people who live in it, the restaurants inside, but most of all, the 360 degree view it offers. When you visit this building, you can walk around the floor and see Chicago in a 360 degree view. Or you go on The Tilt, which stands out of the building from 10 to 30 degrees as you stand in one of the eight spaces offered.

3. Willis Tower

The Willis Tower stands 110 floors tall. This building offers the Sky Deck, which allows you to step out onto a glass box and see Chicago under your feet.

4. Navy Pier

Navy Pier holds a few restaurants, shopping places, and beautiful scenery. Here you can also find a Carousel, where anyone of any age can ride. Are you really too old to ever ride your favorite fake animal?

5. Art Institute of Chicago

The Art Institute of Chicago offers a museum where you can look at famous art pieces. The Museum rotates its pieces every so often.

6. Water Tower Place

This building is a shopping center that offers not only stores, but food. If you're looking to spend money, this is the place.

7. Wrigley Field

Wrigley Field is a great place to spend time watching the Cubs with your best friends. GO CUBS!

8. Soldier Field

Soldier Field is where the Chicago Bears play. This is also a great place to watch a game with your friends.

9. Lincoln Park Zoo

Here, you can see chameleons along with gorillas, lions, tigers, polar bears, and many other animals.

10. Shedd Aquarium

The Shedd Aquarium is not only a great place to go and see different types of fish, but also an Aquatic Show. Bring your rain coat because you will get wet!

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.

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.
