10 Signs You're Actually Hermione Granger

1. You Know What You’re Doing, Even When You Don’t.

Just like Hermione, you’re a quick thinker. You can anticipate events and improvise when you need to. Your friends can always rely on you to resurrect a situation, and you’re often referred to for advice. While you may not lead a snotty professor into the Forbidden Forest in order to escape her grimy wrath on chance, you are resourceful in your own way and use your street smarts to get ahead.

2. You Feel the Need to Correct Others.

With so much knowledge racing through your mind, you just have to let it free. Trivial things such as grammar mistakes deeply bother you, and you find yourself constantly debating over being nice or right. You’re only trying to help, but you might come off as condescending or arrogant sometimes. But it’s not your fault they don’t know how to pronounce Wingardium Leviosa.

3. You Know When to Take Action.

Being such a perfectionist can gain a lot of enemies, and you have a very clear line for how far you’re willing to let other people go. You’ve all but submitted a patent for the technique you use to shut down your opponents, and you, like Hermione, know when to outsmart them, and when to just punch them in the face.

4. You Can’t Stand Being Average at Something.

You’ve been praised your whole life for being superior in everything that you do, but occasionally, you find something that you absolutely can’t master. You know your niche and don’t expect to defy expectations in your weak areas, but underperforming in your Divinations class may literally cause you to rage quit.

5. You Always Know What to Say.

A lot of friends turn to you in times of need because they know they can rely on you for a judgement-free, cathartic conversation. You have the unique ability to turn your friend’s sadness into motivation and have a way with words that leaves them feeling calm and revitalized.

6. You Read Three Books at a Time.

Wherever you go, your bag overflows with tales of lands far away. You keep your books around, no matter what genre, because you know they’re the best way to learn even more. You immerse yourself within the stories you read and find yourself looking up from your alternate world hours later, not regretting a second of it.

7. You Don’t Take Anything for Granted.

While you are revered for your talents now, you weren’t always gifted with them. You’ve never forgotten the way your life has changed for the better ever since the realization of your dreams. You’ve discovered your own distinct kind of magic and don’t plan on ever letting it go.

8. You Dare to Be Different.

Whether you have always been this way or have learned over time, you are unapologetically you. Regardless of what anyone thinks, you know that you are something stellar. You’ll continue to create your own path and pave the way for others to follow in the future.

9. You Sometimes Intimidate People.

Your unique combination of the four houses may result in people fearing your power; it makes others uncomfortable that you know that you have the ability to change the world. Like Hermione, you keep your head down and work through any doubts, allowing you to eventually achieve all that you desire.

10. You Know That Intelligence Is Nothing Without Bravery.

You know that even if you’re the smartest person in the world, it’s useless unless you put your gifts to use. Your Gryffindor side is your outlet and protection for your ideas and you are sure to make positive change within your community and, by extension, the entire globe. Using your talent to make the world a better place is the most fulfilling and satisfying kind of magic to ever exist.

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.

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.
