Carrie Fisher's Best In "When Harry Met Sally"

Yeah, she will always be Princess Leia, but I'll always love her as Marie in When Harry Met Sally

What a week, huh? Well, actually, what a year. Mourning the losses of Prince, Zsa Zsa, George Michael, David Bowie, Muhammed Ali, and Debbie Reynolds, it's time we kiss 2016 goodbye.

Last week we lost Carrie Fisher, a great actress that is known for her role as Princess Leia in Star Wars. Not only did she play the great galaxy princess, but she also had a role as the best single friend in the 1990 film "When Harry Met Sally."

If anyone knows me then you know that "When Harry Met Sally" is my FAVORITE movie in the entire world. Harry (Billy Crystal) and Sally (Men Ryan) are two friends with a great life in New York City, great vintage fashion and hilarious jokes and quotes that are timeless.

Carrie Fisher plays Marie, the epitome of the single girl in New York. She has men after men listed in her rolodex, some listed as married, that she keeps with her at all times. She says the quote that sticks with women everywhere, "The right man for you might be out there right now and if you don't grab him, someone else will. And you'll have to spend the rest of your life knowing that someone else is married to your husband."

Fisher spends most of the movie as the girl that is "a magnet for unattainable men" also known as, a woman who is in love with married men. After accidentally getting set up with Harry's best friend Jess, Marie is head over heels in love. With their relationship being cuter than the main couple in the story, she proves at the end of the movie that there is someone out there for everyone -even if you have given up all hope.

Sure, Carrie Fisher will always be Princess Leia, but she will always be Marie with the puffy shouldered wedding dress to me in "When Harry Met Sally."

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.
