6 Reasons Beach Life Is Best Life

Beaches are the best places over summer.

6 Reasons Beach Life Is Best Life
Jade Jensen

One of my favorite summer activities is going to the beach. Not only is there so much you can do it is also free and to me it never gets boring.

1. The breeze

When it is about 94 degrees outside, you tend to need to find ways to cool down. Laying on the beach with the breeze coming off the water is one of the absolute best ways to do so.

2. Beach games

Between volleyball or frisbee or that weird trampoline ball game that I still don't understand, you can definitely find something to fill time in the sand besides tanning. I personally love to play a game of volleyball. I also usually end up covered in sand because I will dive for the ball even if it is hella out of my reach.

3. People watching

If you are ever bored the beach is the perfect place to go to people watch. You see every type of person there and how they all interact with each other. Plus watching the random drunk people try to play that trampoline game is really funny because they get really into it but have 0 depth perception and end up looking like a flailing monkey.

4. Photo opportunities

I personally love taking pictures out in nature. My best friend is the same way so when we go to the beach you best believe we are taking pics. Even when Lake Michigan is less than 50 degrees we will stand in the water facing the sunset.

5. Dogs

Bradford beach in Milwaukee allows pets on the beach. This means that if want to see a doggo playing in the water and just being all around adorable you can. My best guy friend knows the exact pitch of girlish squeak I make whenever I see a dog and has even started pointing them out to me.

6. Stargazing at night

Going to the beach at night can be amazing on clear nights. When the beach is completely clear and you either have your music or your friends. Laying in the sand with the waves crashing against the shore and the moon being the only other light in the sky. Those nights are some of the best nights ever.

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.
