9 Inarguable Signs You're Obsessed With Harry Potter

1. You complain about the movies, but still went to see every single one.

Hermione’s hair wasn't frizzy enough, Harry’s eyes were the wrong color, and they used two different actors for Dumbledore and thought we wouldn’t notice. The movie producers seemed to always leave out the most important details, yet you could never bring yourself to miss the midnight premiere of each one.

2. You use Harry Potter references in everyday conversations.

Your friends, parents, and siblings are probably tired of hearing you use them too.

3. You have a Harry Potter playlist.

As much as you love the books, the movies have an undeniably amazing music score. You most likely have multiple, if not all of the songs from each movie saved on your iTunes. You also catch yourself humming the intro music way too often to be healthy.

4. You've read some poorly written fan fiction.

Once you’ve read all the books you become somewhat desperate, okay? You loved reading some of the off cannon character pairings, but it doesn’t mean you agree with them all.

5. Your favorite musical is undoubtedly A Very Potter Musical.

In addition to being one of the best Harry Potter parodies ever made, it has an amazing soundtrack and is totally awesome!

6. You spent way too much money at the Harry Potter theme park and on Harry Potter merchandise.

I may or may not have bought a Marauder’s Map that is hanging in my bedroom. And of course, you couldn’t miss out on buying cup after cup of Butterbeer! Some may say it’s all a big scam for money, but it’s important to us.

7. You've always wondered what your Patronus would be.

What animal would I be? And would I ever be able to cast a Patronus charm? Many hours are spent wondering what shape your Patronus would take.

8. You can't ever truly be best friends with someone who hasn't read the books.

There’s just something very dodgy about a person who doesn’t like Harry Potter. You become personally offended when you find out they haven't read the books. Plus, if they haven’t read the books how will they pick up on all of your references and understand your love for J.K. Rowling?

9. You know that Hogwarts is your home, and you'll love it until the very end.

The books have been a major comfort to you. And you couldn’t imagine ever having to part ways with the stories that taught you major life lessons.

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.
