Fayetteville is home to the University of Arkansas. With students everywhere, this town is full of unique spots. You can find anything from awesome thrift stores to beautiful places outdoors to hike and snap a good Instagram photo. Here are a few places you should check out.

1. Fayetteville's Funky Yardsale

If you need anything from tacky Christmas sweaters, handmade necklaces or old records, Fayetteville's Funky Yardsale is the place for you. This funky and spunky spot in Fayetteville is the perfect one stop shop. It is filled with booths from different vendors and everything is one of a kind. Also, they have the most polite cats.

Mount Sequoyah is one of the most beautiful spots in town. This is an awesome place to go and reflect. Mount Sequoyah is also always a great place to take a super artsy Instagram photo.

4. Bikes, Blues & BBQ

Every September, thousands of bikers roll into town for Bikes, Blues and BBQ. The bikes park in unconventional places, the blues is good and the BBQ is worth facing Dickson Street for.

5. Lights of the Ozarks

The Lights of the Ozarks light up our town square so beautifully. The lights magnificently light up the Fayetteville square for the holidays.

Hammontrees is the spot to go to for all things grilled cheese. On the menu, they also offer tasty soups, hot dogs and sweet potato fries.

(PS: Get the bacon gouda sweet potato fries, they are totally worth it!)

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.
