1. Tarzan

Being different doesn't mean you don't belong.

Stop being so quick to point out the differences in others. If you take the time to get to know someone for who they truly are, you may realize you have more in common than you ever imagined.



2. Peter Pan

Everyone has to grow up, but it's okay to hold on to your imagination.

The real world is scary. Having an imagination can help to escape your responsibilities, and let's be honest, we all need that at times. Peter Pan was the boy who never wanted to grow up. Now looking back, can we blame him?

3. Beauty and the Beast

A beautiful person goes beyond what the eye can see.

Beast was judged for his looks, but his looks didn't define him. Belle was the only person in town who gave him a chance. She fell in love with who Beast was inside. Always get to know someone's heart, looks can be deceiving.


4. Frozen

It doesn't take a Prince Charming to heal a frozen heart.

When Anna sacrifices herself in order to protect Elsa, her heart is frozen and her body freezes over. We hear in the movie "Only an act of true love can thaw a frozen heart." This lead us to believe that only a kiss of true love would heal her. We were taken by surprise when Anna's heart was thawed simply by her sister's love. You don't need a significant other to heal your broken heart, true love can be found in so much more.



5. The Lion King

(This movie taught us some of the most important lessons of all.)

You can't change your past, but that doesn't mean you have to dwell in it. Learn from it and move forward.

“Oh yes, the past can hurt. But from the way I see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it.” - Rafiki

Never forget who you are.

"Look inside yourself, you are more than what you've become." -Mufasa

& last but not least, Hakuna Matata.


Thank you, Disney.

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.
