18 Signs You're An Absolute Potterhead
Kristine Byrum

Ever since I started listening to the Harry Potter books on tape the summer after Kindergarten, I have been a complete, die-hard Harry Potter super fan. I am currently reading the series for the 10th time (some may call that overly obsessive, but I prefer to call it extremely dedicated) and I don't intend on stopping there. If there is a series I could read over and over again for the rest of my life it would be this one. J.K. Rowling created not only a wonderful story, but a whole magical world of its own, that many, like myself, love to apparate ourselves in to.

So let's take a look at some of the things that all true Potterheads will relate to. I apologize in advance to all the muggles reading this post, you guys just won't understand.

1. You consider Hogwarts to be your second home.

...or maybe even your first one.

2. You watch everyone else during the movies to make sure they are paying attention at all times.

You may even consider confiscating everyone's phone before the movie begins just to be safe.

3. You get a little overly excited whenever you reach page 394 in a book.

Ten points to Gryffindor if you read this in Snape's voice.

4. You have one thing to say to people who claim to like the movies better than the books.

Hermione summed it up. While the movies are amazing, nothing will ever compare to the books.

5. You've memorized the first line of the first chapter of the first book.

"Mr. and Mrs. Dursely, of Number 4, Privet Drive were proud to say they were perfectly normal, thank you very much."

6. Whenever Harry Potter is brought up in conversation, everyone looks to you because you're "the Harry Potter person."

7. You've mailed a Hogwarts Letter to yourself at some point in your life.

...just in case yours got lost in the mail, or an owl like Errol was supposed to deliver it and got lost

8. No one wants to play Harry Potter Scene It with you because you always win.

Well, looks like you're playing by yourself...again

9. Automatically assuming every spider you encounter is one of Aragog's descendants.

Arania Exumai!

10. You try and live out your Harry Potter fantasies through the computer game.

"Rictusempra!, Flipendo!, Lumos!, Diffindo!"

11. You search Google for the hardest Harry Potter quizzes just to prove how much you know.

You treat them as seriously as you would your O.W.L.S or N.E.W.T.

12. Being truly offended when someone calls you a muggle.

The worst possible insult there is.

13. The word "always" hits you right in the feels.

Cue the tears.

14. You will forever be annoyed because Peeves the Poltergeist was never included in the movies.

"Oh, Potter, you rotter, Oh, What have you done, you're killing off students, you think it's good fun" -- Peeves was never given the credit he deserved for his insults.

15. Whenever you're unhappy, you just blame it on the dementors.

If only you could cast Expecto Patronum...but at least chocolate is available in the Muggle world!

16. You feel extremely disappointed in yourself when you can't remember a piece of Harry Potter trivia.

*Proceeds to re-read the series as a result*

17. You wish you could use a memory charm on yourself so you can forget the books and read them again.

Nothing will ever quite compare to the first time you went on your Hogwarts journey.

18. You're counting down the hours to July 31 when your favorite story finally continues in "The Cursed Child."

Get ready Potterheads...Harry is back

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.
