New Orleans is known for the great food, music, and art, and Voodoo Fest 2017 is willing to offer you in a whole new way. This music festival will be held on October 27-29, right around Halloween, in the historic New Orleans, LA. Here are a few reasons you may want to attend this three-day festival this fall:

1. The lineup: Voodoo released the lineup at the beginning of June and it is packed full of awesome performers. With artists like Kendrick Lamar and DJ Snake, who could resist purchasing a ticket?


2. The price: The cost to attend 3 full days of entertainment is only $99. With this price you cannot help but make your way down to New Orleans, it truly is a bargain.


3. The costumes: Because this festival is right before Halloween, you can expect festival goers to arrive decked out for the occasion. The only thing you have to worry about packing is your three most outrageous Halloween costumes. In New Orleans, anything goes.


4. The food: From watermelon salad, tacos, po-boys, and burgers you can experience the ultimate lineup of creole cuisine at Voodoo Fest. You can also venture to local restaurants right off of the festival's grounds.


5. The art: Voodoo invites local artists to come and display large pieces of interactive artwork throughout the grounds. They even have a marketplace where local artists set up booths for festival goers to immerse themselves in the raw artistry New Orleans has to offer.


6. The activities: Between sets, you can enjoy the ferris wheel, music lounges, and sponsor's interactive exhibits. You probably don't want to miss anyone that is performing, but if you need a rest Voodoo has an overflow of things to do.


If you are a fan of festivals and have yet to experience Voodoo Fest you may want to get your ticket now! With options like shuttles, single day entry, and VIP tickets, this may be one of the best festivals yet. Experience the "musical gumbo" that Voodoo Fest 2017 has to offer down in New Orleans this fall.

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.
