Ten Fun Things To Do In Alabama

Summer is nearing in Alabama, and with summer comes ample time to have fun and visit places all around our state. Here I have compiled a list of ten things to do around Alabama, whether it be visiting the coast, or anything in-between.

1. USS Alabama

The USS Alabama is located in Mobile Bay and is available to be toured.

2. US Space and Rocket Center

The Space and Rocket Center is located in Huntsville and is full of rich history about America's space exploration.

3. McWane Science Center

The McWane Science Center is located in Birmingham, and fun for all ages. Whether you go and view an IMAX movie or play the mind boggling games that they have-- it is sure to be an enjoyable time.

4. The Birmingham Zoo

This zoo is located in Birmingham, and has all of the animals you can think up. My favorite happens to be the monkeys-- they're so lively and playful!

5. Gulf State Park

This is just one of the beautiful sights you will see if you visit this state park located in Gulf Shores. I mean, what's better than the beach?

6. Rattlesnake Saloon


This is located in Tuscumbia, and is one of the coolest places I have ever been! This restaurant is located in a bluff in the side of a mountain, and serves some of the best onion rings I have ever tasted.

7. Cherokee Rock Village

Cherokee Rock Village is located in Centre, and has one of the best views in Alabama. You can see for miles on top of these rocks, and there are many trails that the avid hiker can enjoy.

8. Helen Keller's Birthplace

If you love history, I know you would love visiting Helen Keller's birthplace. For a small price you can go inside the home and the cottage beside the home. You will receive a tour of the house and learn all about Helen's life. Her home is located in Tuscumbia, and is about twenty minutes from the Rattlesnake Saloon.

9. Cheaha State Park

This is a view from Bald Rock in Cheaha State Park. The park is located in a place named Delta, but is very close to Heflin. Cheaha Mountain is part of the Talladega National Forest.

10. Little River Canyon

Little River Canyon is located in Mentone, and has some of prettiest sights in the state. There are a myriad of waterfalls and hiking trails that anyone can enjoy.

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.

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.
