"Always," said Snape.

Certainly, out of every 10 people, when Harry Potter is mentioned, 8 turn their heads and talk about their House pride. The other 2, meanwhile, are Muggles. Now that The Cursed Child and Fantastic Beasts are out, I've dedicated my time to re-read the series again to find a new love for the boy who lived; beneath the world of wand flickering and flying in brooms, lies one of the most imaginative stories ever written, with characters whose strong traits grow into us and teach us about everything from standing up for our beliefs, how to be brave when the world is at a landslide, and even how to cope with the loss of our loved ones.

Here are a few of those:

“Words are, in my not so humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic, capable of both influencing injury, and remedying it.” –The Deathly Hallows

"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live." - The Sorcerer's Stone

“We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.” –The Goblet of Fire

"We are all human, aren’t we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving.” – Harry Potter The Deathly Hallows


"Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean it is not real?" - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

"Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect." - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

"Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if only one remembers to turn on the light." - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

“If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals” – Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

“Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy.” – Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

“Just because you have the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn’t mean we all have.” – Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
