7 Lessons I Learned From '50 Shades Freed'
Youtube

After seeing the final installment of the "50 Shades" franchise, "50 Shades Freed", and this time dragging my boyfriend along with me, I've learned a lot after seeing all three movies. Of course each offers an array of sexual dimensions, but I also took away a few applicable tidbits after watching the third film.

1. Money solves problems

Of course money can't physically buy happiness, but it can make life a heck of a lot easier. Like when Ana finds herself needing five million dollars in two hours, she has no problem writing a check and getting the money-- what a generous husband!

2. A personal body guard wouldn't be all bad

At times having someone around 24/7 would be annoying, but having someone to be able to defend you when your apartment gets broken into would be pretty awesome. Or just someone to drive you around and carry your lattes or grocery bags.

3. Having a private jet would be AWESOME

Obviously having your own plane is not on everyone's shopping list, BUT if you ever did have the opportunity to get one SIEZE it. Seeing Ana and Christian jet off to numerous paradise locations really got me thinking about creating a separate savings account... for my future private jet.

4. Classy clothes can be desirable

Ana always looked classy in her pencil skirt and blouse, and Christian never seemed to mind. Girls don't have to wear revealing clothing to get a guys attention!

5. Guys like a good sappy love story

Going into the movie my boyfriend thought he'd be laughing through the whole thing, but afterwards he admitted to thinking how cute Christian and Ana are. Girls, drag your man to see it, whether they believe it or not, they'll like it!

6. Hold your loved ones close

When Ana (and her baby) almost had a near death experience my heart sank. It really emphasized how short life is and even when things don't go how you plan them, everything will work out when you surround yourself by those you love.

7. A good movie can be impactful

Becoming emotionally attached to an on screen couple is a real thing! You can't help but compare your life to the one in the film and how they can correlate. Learning a thing or two from a good movie can be beneficial!

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.

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.
