Actual Role Models for All Girls Everywhere

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you've probably never heard of them but that's what make them admirable. In the age of Miley Cyrus and the Kardashians, dare to look up to these five amazing women instead.

1. Audrey Hepburn


Just this quote should be explanation enough! Sure, it was only a movie but she played roles that displayed what she believed in. Not only was she an actor, she was a philanthropist and worked as an ambassador for UNICEF following her leave from acting. She was a humanitarian, wife, mother and friend—what else could you ask from a girl?

2. Candice Glover

This girl got her start on "American Idol" when she won season 12. She talked a lot about self-confidence issues and body image during her time on the show. Now that she has her own record deal and has a much louder voice in Hollywood, she spends her time talking about body image and how it should not be a factor when determining self-worth and confidence.

3. Emma Watson


I'm pretty sure there isn't a single person on this earth who doesn't just love Emma Watson! She started off in the "Harry Potter" series and worked her way into tons more box office hits during and after the franchise ending. While doing all this, she managed to graduate from Brown University with a degree in English literature and at the top of her class. Hey, maybe she and J.K. Rowling could team up and make some more Harry Potter based magic! We can only hope.

4. Katherine Hepburn


Guess what? She was one of the first female actresses to wear pants on screen! Oh yeah, big move for women everywhere! She was fiercely independent and didn't take anything from anyone. After a few hard reviews at the movies, she managed to sweep herself back to the top and remains one of the most talented actresses of her time.

5. Meryl Streep


Not only is she a wildly talented actress, but she's wildly crazy about rights for women everywhere. Not only that, but she and a bunch of other female actresses in Hollywood signed a petition to end poverty for girls. Many of her friends and coworkers have nothing but praise to send her way so isn't it a sign young girls everywhere should too?

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.
