For most of my life, I have called the south home. Not only is the food absolutely to die for and the weather is warm, but the hospitality is incomparable. There is a rich history, beautiful coastline and a lot to explore. Here are just a few of the cities that you need to visit in the south.

1. Charleston, South Carolina

With a rich history and a beach nearby, it is no surprise that Charleston is one of the best cities to visit in the south. For the history geeks, there are tours of various landmarks with a history that has been around since the colonial era. There are even ghost tours for those that are brave enough to venture outside their comfort zone. If those don't sound good, then everyone is sure to enjoy the fresh food and beautiful views.

2. Atlanta, Georgia

For those that love big cities, Atlanta is definitely the place to visit for a weekend getaway. Whether you want to shop at Lenox Square mall or walk beneath a shark tank at the Georgia Aquarium, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

3. Asheville, North Carolina

While it may be one of the smaller cities on this list, it is not to be overlooked. Asheville has a downtown that hipsters enjoy and many vineyards nearby for wine lovers to explore. There is even the infamous Biltmore estate nearby that is a necessary tourist spot for everyone.

4. Nashville, Tennessee

For anyone that is a fan of country music, Nashville is a must-see. You can go to the famous Bluebird Cafe or walk the streets of downtown and maybe you will even see a country music star.

5. Greenville, South Carolina

Just a couple of years ago, Greenville was not as big of a city to visit. Now, it has grown into a booming tourist destination. With a beautiful downtown area and a gorgeous park, there is a lot to love.

6. Charlotte, North Carolina

For those that love adventure, the National Whitewater Center is definitely the place to go near Charlotte. For those that love the city, there is plenty of shopping to do. There is even the theme park, Carowinds, nearby to satisfy thrill-seekers.

7. Savannah, Georgia

Similar to Charleston, this city is filled with history and beautiful architecture. There is even a beach nearby and many historical tours to explore.

8. St. Augustine, Florida

Lastly, St. Augustine is the place to visit for warm weather and an interesting history. If you are feeling old, visiting the Fountain of Youth is a must. You can even get a little taste of Spain with restaurants in the area.

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.

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.
