The 2016 Presidential Election is well underway, and the candidates are campaigning in full force. With Super Tuesday quickly approaching, I thought it would be a good idea to look at the candidates from a different perspective. This is the ultimate guide to the 2016 Elections than only true Potter fans can understand.

Ted Cruz: Severus Snape

Strict rule follower. If it’s not in the Constitution, we can’t possibly put it in our government. Probably sits around at night and dreams of malicious punishments for rule breakers during his presidency. No wonder everyone he’s ever worked with hates him and wonders why his constituents voted him into office.

Ben Carson: Neville Longbottom

A genuinely good person, but he is awkward, quiet, and makes clumsy errors. Such as forgetting to actually campaign for the nomination.

John Kasich: Reginald Cattermole

Who is Reginald Cattermole? Who is John Kasich? Exactly.

Marco Rubio: Cedric Diggory

The pretty boy, the chosen one of the establishment. Rubio has the resume, the charisma and the demeanor for the Presidency. That’s what makes some people irrationally hate him. Also, being the established candidate in 2016 is like Cedric taking the Portkey; he can’t stop now that he’s started and it's leading him to his death.

Hillary Clinton: Dolores Umbridge

The perfect characterization. Separated from the actual world, wants the government in every aspect of your life, tries to be cute and popular, and just flat out hates people.

Bernie Sanders: Xenophilius Lovegood

Bernie is old with a small, but devoted, following. He’s always been around the edges, but now is his moment in the spotlight. His supporters will swear by his statements without actually having any understanding of the issues. At least he has a cool campaign slogan. #FeelTheBern

Donald Trump: Gilderoy Lockhart

All style and no substance. A smash hit with the cameras and the papers. Makes ridiculous statements about his exploits and goals. Definitely the type of guy to let a cage of pixies loose on the country and have no solution as to how to stop it. The Donald is everyone’s favorite and may end up getting the job, but once he’s in office, his supporters will realize that he has no stomach and knows nothing about the job.

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.
