College As Told By 'A Very Potter Musical' (And Its Sequels)

College is totally awesome.

College is totally awesome.

There's so much to do and so many avenues you can take and so many things to explore. It's kind of like the opportunities that Hogwarts provided to Harry Potter and his pals. Honestly, I'd go to Hogwarts, but let's be real, they don't accept FAFSA.

The theater group Starkid, which was started in 2009 at the University of Michigan, started doing various fan-written parodies. They're probably best known for "A Very Potter Musical" (AVPM), "A Very Potter Sequel" (AVPS), and "A Very Potter Senior Year" (AVPSY).

I feel like these three particular works describe college pretty well.

When you meet that perfect group of friends.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?"

"In a cupboard under some stairs"

When you're feeling flipping fabulous.

#Flawless

When you think the dorms are like this:

But they're really not.

When you look presentable for any situation and you're not in sweats.


Look at me. I can clean up nicely.

When you have to answer a question in class.

"Hufflepuffs are particularly good finders."

"What the HELL is a HUFFLEPUFF?"

And when you don't get that answer quite right.

I guess you didn't find the right answer.

When you question what's going on (in class, in life, in friendships...)

When you get that assignment where you're just like "nope."


When you play another team in intramurals.

But then you sports too hard.

When you walk in or stumble upon something... questionable.

"What the devil is going on heeeeeeeeerrrrrrreeee?"

When someone says something against you or your friend group.

EXCUSE YOU.

When you're having a bad day and you just don't want to do anything or talk to anyone.

When you're so overtired and overworked that the smallest action is, well, amazing.


AH, AH GUYS LOOK I CAN FUNCTION.

When you and the squad are trying to figure out what to do when you go out.

When your friends see your crush and give you the not-so-stuble signal that they've spotted them.

Aye, go get'em.

When your friends try to stop you from doing something stupid.

When you get your heart broken or you're crushing TOO hard.

"I can't get her out of my head and every time I look at her I have these pains in my chest and I just know it her fault..."

When your university is playing another university in sports-ball and you brag about how good the team is.

"There's no way we're losing to Slytherin, Ravenclaw, or even Jigglypuff."

When finals come around (Yeah, I'd be holding that gigantic Hershey's bar too.)

When you start freaking out about plans after college.


How did I come to this?

When you let your friends know how much they really mean to you and you probably wouldn't have made it through college without them.

"I love you man."

And finally, when college is all over.

You can find Starkid on their website. You can also watch AVPM, AVPS, AVPSY, and all of Starkid's other musicals on their YouTube channel.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
