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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
