Eleven Items from Harry Potter That Would Make College Life Easier
David Sprague

You're struggling with schoolwork and getting ready for finals when you realize that Harry Potter and his gang had it good in school. From extendable ears to broomsticks, they had many ways to help them survive in school. Here are a few items from the wizarding world that would be extremely helpful for college:


1. Broomsticks

Just imagine how easily and quickly you could get to class if you had one of these. No more long walks between buildings and across campus, just hop on one of these babies, and you'll be in class in just a few seconds.

2. Auto-Answer Quill


With this item, you'd never have to study for another test again. Just sit back, and let the quill do the thinking for you. Finals would be a breeze!

3. Invisibility Cloak


If you had one of these, you could slip out of class easily, or just get out of bad situations. Instead of staying for all of class, just wait till roll is taken, then get out as fast as possible.

4. Extendable Ears

Rather than sitting in lectures all day, just have a friend carry the ends of these to the class and you can listen from anywhere else on campus.

5. Portkey

If you want to go off campus with some friends, it normally takes some doing. You have to get a driver, and you probably have to shell out some cash for gas money. If you had a portkey, you could just teleport to another place, where other people already put a portkey. Mall trips would be so much more fun.

6. A Golden Snitch

Why play a boring game of frisbee with friends when you're in need of an activity? Just let this magical item out of your pocket, and have fun chasing it around all day.

7. Skiving Snackboxes

Okay, so you can already leave class early, and you can get to class quickly, but what if you don't feel like going to class at all? Well, a skiving snackbox would work perfectly for you. Just eat a piece of candy, head to the local nurses on campus, and boom, no classes for the day.

8. The Marauders Map

If you want to get to know all the cool places on campus, find someplace quiet to study, or avoid that professor whose homework you forgot to do, this item is for you.

9. A Secrecy Sensor

Have you ever felt that your friend might be lying to you about something? Worry no more, because with a secrecy sensor, you'll always know if they're being truthful or not. This also might come in handy for in-class debates with a professor.

10. Rememberall

Do you keep forgetting to do assignments? You'll never forget to do one again, if you have one of these items. Just remember to look at it once in a while...

11. A Time Turner

Every college student has done something they've regretted at least once in their student career. If you had a time turner, you could change that for the better. Just be careful not to be seen in two different places at once.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
