I remember the first time I ever read the Harry Potter series. I started them in third grade and continued to read them into the fall of fourth. It was the best of times. I loved the feeling of immersing myself into that magical world. And I did it again and again and again. Ever since then, I have been a die hard Harry Potter STAN. Here is a small list of things you will only get if you, like me, will never let the magic die.

You know your Hogwarts house AND your Ilvermorny house

If you are a for real for real Harry Potter super-fan, you most likely have a Pottermore account. It's amazing. You can read all about your houses and the history of the schools. The magic lives on!

You either love or hate your Patronus

There are a number of tests on the internet that can tell you what your Patronus is, but I think the best one is again, Pottermore. Somehow, though, everyone I've talked to is either obsessed with their results or feels ashamed. Embrace them! Whether you're a Thestral like myself or a salmon or even a white mouse, own it!

One of the first questions you ask new friends is what house they're in

Or, better yet, you can guess which house someone is in based off of a few interactions.

Wanting or having a HP tattoo

At some point, I'm almost certain every Harry Potter stan on the face of the planet wanted a Deathly Hallows tattoo or the lightning bolt with Harry's glasses... or the three stars, or the Golden Snitch or the 9 3/4 sign, or... OK, you get my point.

You have a favorite book and a favorite movie

The books are always better than the films, but you still love the movies and the way they brought a little bit of the magic to life. Your favorite book and your favorite movie all rely on which out of those series made you feel that magic the most.

You cried HARD at the deaths of your favorite characters

Not to name names but *cough* Sirius Black, *cough cough* Dobby, *cough* Fred Weasley, *cough cough cough* Albus Dumbledore, *cough cough* Remus Lupin, *cough* Nymphadora Tonks, *cough cough* Severus Snape, *cough* Hedwig, *cough cough* Cedric Diggory, *cough* "Mad-Eye" Moody, *cough* I think I'm coming down with something...

If you've been to Universal in Orlando, seeing Hogsmeade, the castle, and Diagon Alley

Hearing the music playing, smelling the sweets from Honeydukes, finally tasting butterbeer... it's overwhelming and magical and wonderful... and then you keep walking and see the castle and you feel like a first year... *sigh*

You can quote some of your favorite lines off the top of your head

Whenever I'm feeling discouraged, I always somehow manage to think up one of Albus Dumbledore's infamous quotes. He said, "Happiness can be found even in the darkest times if one only remembers to turn on the light."

You have some Hogwarts gear

Some of us have Quidditch jersey's for our teams, or quilts with the Hogwarts crest, or a cute little Niffler that hangs from our key chain. They're all like little reminders of the magical world that we've grown to know and love.

You know you wouldn't be the same without Harry Potter

Magic is now a part of you. You dare to dream of far off places, with spells and dragons and friendship and love. Good versus Evil. The fight for good. Harry Potter is a part of you, but you wouldn't have it any other way.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
