11 Things We Can All Learn From Christina Yang
badmachine

When I started watching ABC's "Grey's Anatomy," I immediately loved Christina Yang—her confidence, her intelligence, her sarcasm. I thought she was the coolest one on the show! As I continued watching each season, she became an inspiration in my life, showing me how to believe in myself, be a good friend and succeed in life. Here are just a few of the things Dr. Yang taught us during her time on Grey's.

1. Keep things real.

Friends tell friends what they need to hear, not what they want to hear.

2. Motivate others.

When someone is down, bring them back up. Remind them why they do what they do and encourage them to succeed.

3. Be confident.

People will believe in you when you believe in yourself.

4. Be bigger than the sexists.

You are more than your looks. Make sure people give you credit for all of you!

5. Be loyal to your friends.

Your person will get you through everything if you are just loyal to them.

6. Keep your priorities straight.

Food always comes first.

7. Don't worry about what other people think of you.

Who cares what other people think? Be yourself and answer to no one.

8. Have a sense of humor.

You can laugh your way through any difficult situation.

9. Strive to be your best.

Because if you aren't your working your hardest, what's the point?

10. Learn from your mistakes.

You will mess up. Just make sure you take that mistake to change what you do next time.

11. Learn how to make an exit.

When in doubt, dance it out!

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.

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.
