3 Beaches To Check Out When Visiting The Florida Panhandle
Chey Huston-McCrea

When living in Southern Alabama, a beach trip is usually possible almost any time of the year since we hardly see a winter and wear shorts during Christmas and New Years. With having such easy access to the beach we quickly learn which beaches are the best in our area. I live in one of the main towns that most travel through to get to the beach. From my house, it is only two to three turns to get the beach depending on which one you go to.

1. Panama City Beach, Florida

This beach has so much to offer from the shopping, hotels, and beautiful waters. This beach is usually packed in the summer and spring break by many families looking to escape the cold and or heat and have a nice cooldown. PCB is also widely known as the beach Luke Bryan used when filming his music video for "Roller Coaster"

2. Santa Rosa, Florida

Santa Rosa Beach offers a unique artists colony called Gulf Place, amazing beach houses, upscale dining, and a white sand and turquoise water beach. They also have many entrances to the Port Washington State Forest, a 15,000-acre preserve with multiple natural communities. Santa Rosa is the perfect place to go when looking for something more than a beach trip.

3. Destin, Florida

Destin is a fan favorite since they have multiple shopping areas including an Outlet mall. This beach is also usually less packed than the others despite having the multiple shopping areas. Destin offers more residential and condo areas on the beach front which makes it more relaxed than the other beaches.

These beaches are always the best to go to since from where I live it takes anywhere from an hour and a half to two hours to get to. I love exploring and playing in the water and can't wait to travel to the beach again.

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.
