Let's face it -- we've all been there. You see a cute person, you talk to them and before you know it you feel yourself developing a very big crush. Which sometimes leads to dating.

But before you take on this whirlwind romance make sure to ask them if they've ever read the Harry Potterbooks. Because if they haven't? Well here are 7 number of reasons why you shouldn't date them.


1. They won't understand your love for all the characters.

Yeah, you might like them, but how do you explain your undying love for Sirius Black, Hermione Granger, and Neville Longbottom? You can't expect them to understand unless they've read every word of the series.

2. They think the movies are good.

To be fair the Harry Potter movie franchise could be a lot worse, but they don't hold a candle up to the books. If they've only seen the movies they know nothing about Peeves, or the actual love story of Harry and Ginny. Or Harry's green eyes. I mean come on! Siriusly.

3. They don't understand your Halloween costume

Dressing up (or cos-playing) as a Harry Potter character or just a member of your Hogwarts house is magical. But all your significant other can ask is "Why are you wearing the same costume as last year?"

4. They don't want to go to the midnight releases with you

To be fair, the main 7 books of the series are already out. But did they want to attend the midnight release of The Cursed Child? Or what about the movie release of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them? If they don't go to midnight releases, they aren't worth having in your bed. End of story.

5. They don't know their Hogwarts house

Sure you can take their Hogwarts house quiz for them on Pottermore but where's the fun in that? And even if you think they're a Ravenclaw, they might secretly be a Gryffindor in disguise. (P.S. Take the quiz here).


6. They don't even know what Pottermore is

From its start as an almost video game, to where it is now, Pottermore has gone through a lot of changes. But ask your date about the platform and you'll get a "What?"

7. They don't encourage you collecting more merchandise

They already think having 6 Harry Potter themed t-shirts is more than excessive. They don't get your Harry Potter themed Pop! Funko obsession either. Or the fact that you need more than one copy of all the books. And a lot of posters, and all the figurines.


So I rest my case. Never date someone who hasn't read the Harry Potter books -- you'll regret it.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
