7 Things The Muggles Of GVSU Need

Flying brooms, and cars for that matter, are two of the many extraordinary things J.K. Rowling created in her enchanting masterpiece. For many, the story is real, but of course something to prove it wouldn't hurt. Here are a few of the simpler things that would make life at Grand Valley State a million times more magical.


1. Quick Quotes Quill

Take a page out of Rita Skeeter's book and stop taking your own notes! Intensive classes are a thing of the past with the Quick Quotes Quill, and you can finally take that nap you've been needing.


2. House Elves

Let's face it, campus dining needs them. House Elves, paid of course, would be the best cooks, and their magic would allow them to quickly whip up whatever your heart desires. Plus, they'll be your best friend!


3. The Room of Requirement

A place where you can escape from the outside world, hide from roommates and avoid classes. If you're ever in need of something, such as an umbrella that doesn't flip upside down while walking around campus, this is the place to be.

4. Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder

Want to jump to the front of the Starbucks line? Tired of buying textbooks? Have a U-NO-POO problem? Use the Instant Darkness Powder to satisfy your inner basic white girl, snatch a few of your expensive biology books and secure a quiet spot in the bathroom.

5. Enchanted Ceilings

The Mary Idema Pew Library is already so beautiful, but can you imagine what it would be like on a starry night or even in the middle of a Michigan Blizzard, just looking up and being amongst it all?


6. Chocolate Frogs

For when Thanksgiving Break can't get any closer and going to class feels like a Dementor is always behind you, slowly sucking away every cheerful thought of turkey, mashed potatoes, honey ham and apple pie. This fun chocolate will lift your mood and could even make you a serious card collector.


7. Butterbeer


To warm up aching fingers and toes during frigid football games, when needing to walk from LOH to MAK, and of course to keep your boring WRT 150 class a little more interesting.

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.
