1. The Michael Jackson Musical

Michael Jackson approached the author J.K Rowling about making a musical based off her Harry Potter books, but she turned down the idea. Would you have seen it if it happened?

2. The better fit

Tom Felton, otherwise known as Draco Malfoy, originally auditioned to play Harry Potter or Ron Weasley. Although, he ended up as Draco Malfoy, and I think we all agree with the role placement. He made a great Malfoy but can't be imagined as anyone else.


3. The death of Voldemort

When Voldemort was killed in the Battle of Hogwarts he was 71 years old. Most people are unaware of how old he lived to be!

4. The marriage

Professor McGonagall was once married to her old boss at the Ministry. His name was Elphinstone Urquart, but he died just three years into the marriage from a deadly bite.

5. The two almost deaths

J.K Rowling almost killed Ron Weasley "out of spite". What would Harry Potter be without him? Another Weasley family member that almost died was Ron's father, Arthur. However, instead of killing him, she killed Sirius Black. Do you agree with her decision?


6. The free school

Schooling at Hogwarts is free because the Ministry of magic covers the tuition. WHAT? Why am I not enrolled there yet?

7. The Quidditch Player

Ginny Weasley, who married Harry Potter, became a professional Quidditch player for a team named the Holyhead Harpies. However, she retired to take care of her and Harry's children.

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.

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.
