20 Signs You're A Harry Potter Fanatic

It's the fandom that will keep on living.

The new movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" will be launching on November 18, 2016. If you're a die-hard Harry Potter fan you probably already know that. You've known about it since the day news about the new Harry Potter movie came out (and you probably cried with joy). Just because the original "Harry Potter" books and movies have been completed doesn't mean that we've given up our love for the Boy Who Lived. Us HP fans are dedicated and loyal subjects to anything created by the creator, J.K Rowling, so it's no wonder our love for the universe has seeped into our lives. You might be a "Harry Potter" fan if...

1. You've read all the books, multiple times...

2. You tend to overreact when someone says they haven't read the books, but seen the movies.

3. When you find a single sock while doing laundry you know it went to a good house elf.

4. You become the sorting hat for all your friends and strangers you meet.

5. You've picked up a bloody good accent from watching the movies so many times.

6. When you feel lazy you've shouted Accio at objects trying to get them to come to you.

7. You've played quidditch or joined a team in school.

8. You played Pottermore since it came out or even better had the beta version.

9. You've done the sorting test multiple times on Pottermore hoping to get the house you want... and then made all your friends and family take the test as well.

10. You had a Harry Potter themed birthday when you turned 11.

11. You've been or dream of traveling (and potentially living) at Harry Potter Wizarding World in California or Florida.

12. You probably cried when one of your favorite characters died... and admit it at least one did.

13. You have great pride for your house.

14. You have so much Harry Potter merchandise.

15. You know toilets in London can transport you to the Ministry of Magic.

16. You mutter Lumos and Nox as you turn on and off the lights.

17. You have visited or plan to visit Platform 9 3/4 at Kings Cross Station... and will attempt to resist running into the brick wall.

18. You've tried Bertie Bots Every Flavor Beans... and realized they weren't kidding about every flavor.

19. You've tried to figure out what your patronous would be.

20. You've taken away great moral lessons.

For most of us, "Harry Potter" has been around for our entire childhood. We stayed up late waiting for books to be released and movies to catch our attention. We have lived through a battle of wizards and are ready to begin a new journey with the upcoming Harry Potter related films, parks and plays. So bring it on J.K. Rowling; we're ready!

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.

Student Life

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.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
