An Open Letter To My Favorite Author

I know that deep down you’re just like me.

Dear J.K. Rowling,

Before I go into detail, I just want to say thank you. Whenever I write, I try to write with the passion and detail that you do. I loved reading from an early age, but for me, your books opened a whole new world. Even to this day, I find myself wishing I could apparate from one part of campus to the other. I also fathom the pensieve being real. To me, there would be nothing cooler than being able to view your memories, from no matter how long ago, in third person. I would do anything to be able to view myself on the playground in elementary school, or goofing off in high school. Viewing other people’s memories would obviously be very interesting also. Imagine watching your mom meet your dad for the first time. Incredible!

One of my own personal favorite memories is going to the midnight premiere of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" that came out in 2011. Being in a room filled with people that cared about my favorite characters just as much as I did offered a sense of community. Not to mention I was able to point out exactly what parts were changed from the book and what was not included altogether. Nerdy? Definitely. Do I care? Not one bit.

Yet through all your fame and fortune, you remain humble. I think it was so clever that you wrote under a pen name and published another book to see if people would still love your work. You are never in the spotlight, and if you are, it is because you were knocked off Forbes’ billionaire list because of your generous charity donations. You’re so honest to your fans, you even admit your flaws: you were in a great place in life while writing "The Prisoner of Azkaban" and that’s why it flows so well, and you were depressed while writing "The Goblet of Fire." As much as I would like to think you’re superhuman, I know that deep down you’re just like me.

So, J.K. Rowling, I thank you again. Because of you, I write. Because of you, I am (as Snape would say) always home.

Sincerely,

Your Biggest Fan

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.

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.
