If you're a Harry Potter fan, you definitely learned many invaluable lessons from the wizarding world.

1. “The truth is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution.”

2. "It’s not our abilities that show what we truly are. It’s our choices.” Albus Dumbledore, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"


3. “Which only goes to show that the best of us must sometimes eat our words" – Albus Dumbledore, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"

4. “Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if only one remembers to turn on the light.”- Albus Dumbledore, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban"

5. "I don’t go looking for trouble. Trouble usually finds me.” – Harry Potter, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban"

6. “The consequences of our actions are always so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business.” – Albus Dumbledore, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban"

7. “If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.” –Sirius Black, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"

8. "We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.” –Albus Dumbledore, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"

9. “It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.” –Albus Dumbledore, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"


10. “Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it.” –Albus Dumbledore, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"

11. “We’ve all got both lightness and darkness inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.” –Sirius Black, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"


12. “The ones that love us never really leave us. You can always find them.” –Sirius Black, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"

13. “Working hard is important. But there is something that matters even more, believing in yourself.” –Harry Potter, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"

14. “Every great wizard in history started out as nothing more than what we are now, students. If they can do it, why not us?” –Harry Potter, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"

15. “You sort of start thinking anything’s possible if you’ve got enough nerve.” –Ginny Weasley, "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince"

16. “People find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than for being right.” –Hermione Granger, "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince"

17. “It’s the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, noting more.” –Albus Dumbledore, "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince"

18. “You are protected, in short, by your ability to love.” –Albus Dumbledore, "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince"

19. “Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it.” —Albus Dumbledore, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"

20. “If you have to ask you will never know. If you know, you need only ask.” –Helena Ravenclaw, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows"

21. “Always” –Severus Snape, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows"

22. “We’re all human aren’t we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving.” –Albus Dumbledore, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows"

23. “No story lives unless someone wants to listen. The stories we love best do live in us forever. So whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.”- J.K. Rowling

Harry Potter was more than a book and movie series. It was also a teacher that taught me lessons that I will always remember and cherish.

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.
