7 Books You Should Read Before You Watch The Movie

Summer's here! With that, you're totally going to be one of two people: a total bookwork (like me) or wanting absolutely nothing to do with a book until school picks back up. Even if you're not into reading the book first, still make sure to check these movies out! Enjoy your break!

1. "Me Before You" by Jojo Moyes

You've probably seen the commercial for this movie a couple times whether it was sitting on the couch watching pointless TV because you can totally do that now (because the school year is over!), or you saw it during a preview at the movie for some movie you just happened to have gone and seen. Regardless, before you let yourself fall in love with this movie on June 3rd, make sure you grab this book and a box of Kleenex and let yourself fall in love with this!

"After You" by Jojo Moyes

After you completely let yourself fall in love with Me After You, totally stop by Barnes and Noble and pick up the sequel to it. This book was the exact thing we needed to help us cope with all that Moyes left us in Me After You. Hopefully we'll be blessed with a movie adaption for this book as well. Don't forget to grab the Kleenex before reading!

4. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by J.K. Rowling

SHE'S BACK AND THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT! The wonderful lady that brought you Harry Potter is back and I'm sure we won't be disappointed. While the movie doesn't come out until November 18, there is not doubt that you should withhold from reading the book!

6. Love, Rosie by Cecelia Ahern

Rosie and Alex are childhood best friends turned lover. The annoying part? It takes the whole book for the two to realize they're meant for each other. This book will make you laugh, cry, and smile the whole way through. It came out October 22, 2014 so even if you haven't see it yet and you don't intend on picking up the book anytime soon, at least put the movie on and enjoy!

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.
