I'm not a bad person, I swear.

11 Struggles Of Being Sorted Into Slytherin
Not Literally

I swear to God, if I hear the words, "Mind If I'm Slytherin?" one more time, I'm going to put a hex on everyone in a five-mile radius. I'm not kidding. I mean, I love my house, but I'm so over the whole "death eater and accomplice to Lord Voldermort wannabe" complex. Not all of us are bad. We just admit that we have dark wizards in our midst. This isn't recruitment. It's not like they have a choice.

1. When you first get sorted and you freak out because you don't want people to think you're a wannabe death eater.

2. When you first go into the dungeon to find your common room and the giant squid from the lake pops out and scares the squib out of you. (Pun intended.)

3. When you mess up a problem in potions class and everyone starts jeering at you.

4. When you try out for quidditch and the only people who make the team are the people who's parents played for the house back in the day.

5. When you realize that you have no actual good alumni to look up to because all the good mentors are in all of the other houses.

6. When you go home for Christmas and your parents get mad at you for using the term "mudblood" because even though it's considered a slur, it's thrown around the common room like the word "celery."

7. When dementors take over the grounds and you have to protect yourself and you are forced to discover that your patronus is a kitten.

8. When you realize that your competitive instincts make people think you're a horrible person.

9. When the Battle of Hogwarts happens and all of your friends parents are fighting with Voldemort.

10. When Voldemort gives you the most awkward hug of your life and you immediately want to go home and take three showers.

11. Finally, every time that spoiled brat Malfoy bellows, "Wait until my father hears about this!"

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
