My friends and I are constantly looking for things to do during the summer. We have 2 months together at home and we want to make the most of it. However, we usually end up grabbing something to eat and then sitting in the car/driving around because we can't think of anything to do. If you've experienced moments like that, hopefully this list will help you out:

1. Picnic at Old Westbury Gardens

I spontaneously asked my friend one day to go for a picnic at this place...it was a great time and also very insta-worthy.

2. Drive out to the lilac fields

I've never been here but I've seen photos and this place is more than insta-worthy.

3. Have breakfast for dinner at the diner

It's simple but one of my favs.

4. Grab some desert at the waffle cabin in Long beach

5. Watch the sunset/take a walk on the Long Beach Boardwalk

It never gets old.

6. Go mini golfing in Eisenhower park

Always a cute date-night.

7. Have brunch at the Harbor Market in Sag Harbor

This is a really cute brunch place in a residential part of Sag Harbor. Surrounded by quaint homes and off the main road, you could definitely call this place a hole-in-the-wall.

8. Take a stroll through the LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton

Just another insta-worthy landscape.

9. Get some friends together to do an escape the room challenge

If you go with the right group this can be a blast.

10. Read a good book on Cooper’s Beach

And take a drive down Gin Lane to look at all the big houses with beachfront views

AI music threatens creativity

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.
