10 Things To Do In Connecticut This Summer

We only have so many weeks left of summer, and there's so much left to do. Connecticut has a lot to offer for all ages. Here's a top 10 list of my favorite things our beautiful state has available to us this summer.

1. Concerts at Xfinity Theatre

Pitbull, Rascal Flatts, Blink 182 and Jason Aldean are all lined up to close out the summer and will be concerts you won't want to miss. Make sure to get to the venue early to avoid traffic and get in some good tailgating time!

2. Baseball Games

What's more American than watching baseball (and having a hotdog and a beer) in the summer? The Hartford Yardgoats won't be on the scene until next summer, but for now, you can catch games all over the state including the New Britian Bees and the Bristol Blues! The Blues are known to have $1 hotdog days each week, which is always my favorite day of the week.

3. Mystic Village/ Mystic Aquarium

4. The Pavilion

If you're over 21, this is the place to be for the summer. This Old Lyme hot spot includes a full outdoor bar and live music right on the beach. What could be better?!

5. Milkcraft Ice Cream

6. Take a hike

7. Sunflower fields at Buttonwood Farms

8. Alive-at-Five


9. Drive in Movies

With locations in Southington, Mansfield, and Barkhamsted, park your car with some of your closest friends and catch an outdoor movie one weekend this summer!

10. Mini golf

It's a little corny, I know, but I love a good round of mini golf in the summer. Top it off with a trip to the ice cream shoppe after, and you're good to go for a fun-filled summer night!

Whatever you decide to do this summer, make the most of it! Our days in the sun are numbered, so enjoy them while you can!

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.
