Albus Dumbledore, the wisest and all around greatest character ever created. I've always had a special place in my heart for the Harry Potter books/movies and Albus Dumbledore may be that reason why. He is the most powerful wizard ever, headmaster of Hogwarts and he hits you right in the feels with his amazing quotes/words of advice.

1. "It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live."

This comes from the first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Not only great advice but it is very true as well. Constantly dreaming of what could be won't make it happen. YOU make it happen.

2. "It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be."

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is where this meaningful quote was said. I think this is a very important statement and with how everything is in the world lately, it needs to be reminded.

3. "People find it easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right."

Preach Dumbledore, preach. Thanks for being the one to say it in, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

4. "You think the dead we loved truly ever leave us? You think we don't recall them more clearly in times of great trouble?"

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. This quote may be very meaningful to people who have lost someone very close to them. It seems once in trouble is when we need our loved ones the most.

5. "It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends."

This quote was apart of the first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Ever since the first book Dumbledore has been making us realize things we sometimes don't seem to.

6. "Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open."

Yeah Trump...Dumbledore is talking to you. Courtesy of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

7. "Soon we must all face the choice between what is right, and what is easy."

One of my favorite quotes from yet again Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (also my favorite movie).

8. "Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean it not real?"

Dumbledore wrapped up his famous lines with this one from, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

9. "Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living and above all, those who live without love."

Very important message. What is a life without love...Another quote he ended with in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

10. "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light."

Saved the best for last! I look to this a lot in life, actually all I have to do is look down to my arm because I love this quote so much I actually got it tattooed on me! This one comes from another one of my favorites, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
