I Took A Vacation With My BF And His Family For The First Time And It Was Amazing
Abby Zhong

Over winter break, I had the chance to travel with my boyfriend for the first time. But guess what? Not just my boyfriend, his FAMILY too. We went on a cruise together before I even got the chance to eat dinner with them.

I can’t say I am super close to his family, but we’re not total strangers, so it was a bit intimidating hanging out with his parents and two siblings in the middle of the ocean for a week. Much to my surprise, the trip beat my expectations! I got the opportunity to get to know his family in a more relaxed, different environment.

I am also super glad my boyfriend was by my side and never made me feel left out. He also constantly reassured me that everything would be okay and we should enjoy the trip since it was a vacation after all.

Not only did I get to know his family more, but I also got to know my boyfriend more.

It was our first vacation together and we got to experience many things as our “firsts”. We went snorkeling, ziplining, and even gambled (the age was 18 and older). We also did not have internet, so we just focused on each other and our surroundings. Even though we’ve been dating for almost eight months, I am still learning more and more about him.

As cheesy and basic as this sounds, the cruise brought us closer together and made me appreciate him more. So, if you’re not so sure about vacationing with your boyfriend and potentially his family, I’d say go for it! You’ll learn a lot about each other and yourself.

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.
