Lessons Learned From Harry Potter

If you are like me, you grew up with Harry Potter. You read all the books, went to every movie premiere night, and bought all the necessary merchandise. You may even have travelled to Orlando, Florida to visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios. With that, there is something to be said of the connection we all made throughout childhood to the story of "the boy who lived." There must have been things that all of us related to, even when we were just "muggles" living in a magic-free world. We all found times in the story where we understood what Harry and his friends were going through. Harry Potter helped us grow.

1. "It is not our abilities that show us what we truly are, it is our choices." - Albus Dumbledore

2. “The ones that love us never really leave us." - Sirius Black

3. Teachers are some of the most important people in your life.

4. Just because you are not blood-related to someone does not mean that you are not family.

5. True friends always stick up for you.


6. An underdog can save the day.

7. True love does exist.

8. Listen to those who are frequently unheard.

9. Don't try to be something you're not.

10. Teamwork is very important.

11. "Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." - Albus Dumbledore

12. Magic does not leave us as we age. It is within us forever.

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.
