15 Revealed Stereotypes from Little House on the Prairie
Little House Wikia

We all have seen and adored the 1970s show adapted from Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House book series. Now we have the opportunity to revisit the series and observe the characters' tendencies, which undoubtedly pertain to individuals in our own daily encounters.

Drum roll, please.

1. The Humorist

It will work out Half-Pint. I promise. And if it doesn't, we can laugh about it.

2. The Blabbermouth

Are you ready to hear the newest scandal from the self-indulgent, middle-aged debutante?

3. The Boyfriend Thief

Cooking one "home-cooked" meal at a time.

4. The Hottie

Making farmers jealous for decades.

5. The Dreamer

Little Red Riding Hood. Braids and all.

6. The Perfect Sibling

Perfect hair. Perfect eyes. Perfect teeth. Perfect hair. Perfect complexion. Perfect grades. Perfect hair. Perfect attitude. Did I mention perfect hair?

7. The Counselor

Shoot for the stars. Follow your heart. Write a series about our family.

8. The Considerate Instructor

Introducing the Mary Poppins of Minnesota.

9. The Outlandish Teacher

I guess she inherited her family's ugly genes.

10. The Bladder

Viewers were not sure whether Carrie had a medical condition or merely a fetish for wooden outhouses.

11. The Rebel

Hey, hey, hey, it's Rad Albert!

12. The Singing Drunk

Remember "Old Dan Tucker"? Sure you do. Go on. Sing it.

13. The Puppet

Poor Nels.

14. The Peacekeeper

Delivering a convenient sermon during every major crisis in Walnut Grove.

15. The Bribed

Candy kept Willie quiet from revealing his sister's dirty secrets... Yet he always ended up in the corner at school.

So now that we have examined the characters' impulses, I have a question for you: which feature best describes you?

Once you have answered this question, it is paramount to recognize that without the other personalities in the show (or in your own daily occurrences), life would be monotonous.

With this in mind, we are called to pray for the blabbermouths and boyfriend thieves; to eat lunch with the dreamers, humorists, and rebels; and to be mindful of the hotties, "perfect" siblings, teachers, bladders, singing drunks, puppets, and bribed individuals (they most likely do not "have it all together"). By doing this, we are able to make this "little earth within the galaxy" an improved dwelling place, by becoming counselors and peacekeepers.

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.
