10 Traits Only Slytherins Have

Maybe it’s just me, but you never see much talk about Slytherins on social media. Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw all get their time in the spotlight but we Slytherins seemingly always get cast to the side. As much as I love JK Rowling, I think she did a disservice to this House in her books by always making us the bad guys. Of course, we have had more than our fair share, but which House hasn’t? Slytherins are just as good (if not better) as the other Houses at Hogwarts.

These are 10 signs you’re a Slytherin!

1. You routinely think about the least amount of work you have to do to get a good grade.

2. You know how to get an in with anyone you think can advance your career.

3. You fiercely defend everyone you’ve made part of your group.


4. But you aren’t afraid to drop someone if they cross you.


5. All of your friends call you ambitious and you consider it one of your best qualities.


6. Your favorite characters are Slytherins.


7. You wonder WWFUD (What would Frank Underwood do)?


8. You can spot another Slytherin from a mile away.


9. You can simultaneously respect and hate someone for beating you at something.


10. You spend a significant amount of time wondering if you're secretly evil.

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.
