As a member of the Hufflepuff house, I couldn’t be more excited. So in honor of our acheievements I think it’s time to celebrate Hufflepuffs in a modern context. Though many believe it’s an unfavorable placeholder house, Hufflepuff is in fact home to individuals of some of unique qualities. Don’t believe me? Here are 10 ways to spot a Hufflepuff in the college setting:

1. They’re the hard working, humble members in group projects.

Though members of other houses can be just as helpful, Hufflepuffs are unconditionally active, cooperative members in group projects, producing work on time, remaining ethical and distributing recognition where it’s rightfully due.

2. They’re really good at finding all your lost, drunk friends at frat parties.

We are particularly good finders after all. Drunk or not, we’ll quickly find your lost friend in the mass of people along with your misplaced student ID too.

3. They’re the students saving numerous seats for friends in lecture halls.

Hufflepuffs are loyal, giving friends who are always willing to help their buddies out, even if it means sprawling our bags, jackets and other belonging across four seats while everyone else is running late.

4. They always bring snacks to study sessions and social events.

Back at Hogwarts, it's no mistake that the Hufflepuff common room is right next to the kitchen. We're eager to care for others and know food is the cure to a lot of sour feelings. Expect baking, surprise food related gifts and insight into the best restaurants on and around campus.

5. No matter the context, they’re typically the most excited ones in the friend group.

Whether it’s game day, the season premiere of a TV show or the day you finally snagged your dream internship, Hufflepuffs are the most enthusiastic and celebratory of your college friends. They love good news and revel in happy emotions. As a result, we love parties in whatever shape, size or form they come in.

6. They’re the friends or roommates who work hard to personalize all gifts and events.

Birthday coming up? We're on it. Hufflepuffs love to go out of their way to make their friends feel special whenever opportunity arises. We'll make sure your dorm and gift is crafted with all our unique inside jokes in mind.

7. They’re the snugglers, cuddlers and huggers of the group.

We're affectionate, emotional people, what can I say? Plus, snuggling, cuddling and/or hugging always makes us feel better so we're just going to assume it does the same for you too.

8. They can be spotting mingling with multiple different social groups around campus.

Hufflepuffs are not quick to judge. They're always openminded when meeting new people and naturally look for the best in others. We jive well with a wide spectrum of people, making for a very large, diverse pool of friends and acquaintances.

9. They make it their business to make sure everyone stays safe and sound.

Hufflepuffs are the friends at parties who swoop in before you make the drunken mistake of hooking up with the guy you soberly vowed to not go near. They're always willing to help out when you're sick and happy to call you a ride home when you can't. Just remember to text us when you're home safe!

10. They are your greatest companions in times of distress.

Though Hufflepuffs are known for being kind and gentle people, we can just as easily turn into fighters when our friends are in pain or jeopardy. Hufflepuffs are the friends who will ruthlessly defend against your enemies. And we will answer the call whenever you need it. When you make a Hufflepuff your friend in college, you're making a friend for life.
