10 Girlbosses you should know!

1. Hermione Granger

A literary classic, she outshines all of the Hogwarts students as the brightest witch of her age. Hermione teaches us to never underestimate our abilities and be proud of who we are.

2. Lorelai Gilmore

One of my personal favorites. Lorelai showed us the beauty of fast-talking, quick-witted, sarcastic humor. And let’s not forget her inspiring story as a single mother to another awesome girlboss, Rory Gilmore!

3. Jackie Kennedy

The true definition of a lady. Jackie showed us genuine beauty and grace in the face of tragedy, and taught us to wear our pearls with pride.

4. Belle

An inspiring Disney princess. Belle makes everyone want to be a reader, and taught us that kindness always wins.

5. Phoebe, Monica, and Rachel

Okay, so this may be cheating but I couldn’t just mention one lady from Friends without the other. These 90s sitcom women showed us how to navigate young adulthood - with all the struggles and triumphs. Welcome to the real world, it sucks, you’re gonna love it!

6. Julie Andrews

Beautiful inside and out, Dame Julie showed us true talent and grace. And let's not forget how incredible she looks at 81!

7. Rapunzel

We can’t forget this awesome Disney princess. Not only is she confident and bold, she overcame her difficult circumstance and showed us we all can do the same.

8. Audrey Hepburn

Everyone’s favorite classic movie star. Audrey makes us all strive to work harder, and to help those less fortunate than us.

9. Jane Austen

The OG girlboss. A particular icon for those girlboss writers out there. Jane paved the way for us and we owe her some BIG thanks.

10. My mom

My all-time favorite girlboss. Many of you may not have the pleasure of knowing her, but she taught me one of the most important lessons going into college. You do not need to be friends with everyone, but you have to be friendly! So SMILE! Love ya Muth ;)

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.
