It is the word we all have been waiting for. A word that represents freedom and relaxation. It stands for sun and hurricanes. It is summer. What should we do? Where should we go? Who should we spend it with? These questions always come up.

That is why I have created a list of the top ten things to do this summer. Enjoy!

1. Go on vacation.

Whether it be the beach or the mountains, pick your favorite spot and go.



2. Have a BBQ.

Who doesn't love a juicy steak or hamburger? Having a BBQ would be the perfect time to get family and friends over for a good time.

3. Eat Dippin' Dots.

Need something other than the summer breeze to cool you off? Dippin' Dots will do the trick. There are endless flavors from chocolate to cotton candy. You can't go wrong with this delicious treat.


4. Attend a bonfire.

What better way to spend a Saturday night than to be circled around a campfire with your favorite people, singing songs and roasting marshmallows. Sounds like the perfect night to me!

5. Visit a state that you have never been to.

Are you up for an adventure? Spend a week of your summer visiting a new state and seeing what all it has to offer. You never know, you might end up wanting to move there!

6. Go to some outdoor concerts.

Do you want something more fun and easy going? Then go to an outdoor concert. Whether it be Tim McGraw or Beyonce, go see your favorite musician while the stars shine above.


7. Relax.

Relaxation. It is what most of us need. If you are on a budget, this can also apply to you. It doesn't cost money to relax. Allow yourself to unwind and destress.


8. Go camping.

Instead of paying lots of money for a hotel, why not save money and go camping. Pitch a tent with a few friends, go stay on the beach or in the middle of nowhere and call it a day. Who said camping couldn't be fun?

9. Take a road trip with your best friends.

Want to make some awesome memories? Grab your best friend(s) and take a road trip. Whether it be a day thing or a week thing, go for it. This would be the perfect bonding time. Create memories. It's what summer is all about.


10. Try something you've never tried.

It's never too late to try something new. Step outside of your comfort zone. You never know, that something could change your life.

Be safe. Have fun.

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.
