5 Reasons Why Slytherin is The Best House

The Harry Potter craze has died down in recent years, but true potterheads never forget and if there is one thing we care way too much about, it's our houses. Gryffindor is overhyped, Ravenclaw is very neutral, Hufflepuff is Hufflepuff (enough said), and Slytherin gets a really bed reputation. But I"m here to clear all this up and prove to you why Slytherin is truly the greatest house.

1. Slytherin's Color Scheme and Logo is Awesome:


Can we just take a second to appreciate how cool this is. Deep green. Illustrious Silver. The two go just perfectly together and to top it all off there's a snake. Can't get any more edgy than that.

2. Ambition:


People seem to forget about what our core tenements are. Believe it or not it isn't be evil or murder muggles. One of the core pillars that supports and defines a Slytherin is their ambition. Nothing can stop us from achieving our goals. Fate is truly in our hands.

3. Cunning:


When people hear cunning they automatically assume it is malicious and in some cases it can be, but not always. Cunning is being able to make the best of any situation through learning and applying this knowledge in the future to help obtain your goals.

4. Proficiency in Useful Spellcraft:


Spells of combat, trickery, and manipulation are our specialty. We will always have the upper hand in a duel and our cunning allows us to destroy any other wizard that dare challenge us. We are feared, and for good reason.

5. We don't follow the rules:


Other houses hold themselves back. Slytherins can acknowledge their true potential and will stop at nothing to achieve their ends. Rules were created to protect the weak and the truly strong will disregard these rules and take their place on the top.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
