5 Ways To Decorate Your Muggle Space With The New Harry Potter Collection
Business Wire

If you have any social media accounts at all, you’ve probably heard about Pottery Barn’s new Harry Potter collection. I must say, I was pretty impressed with the quality and lack-of-cheesiness of the collection; most themed home decor tends to have 9th-grade superfan written all over it. Whether you’re a closeted Potter fan or simply don’t want your house to give guests the impression that you may be hiding a life-size Ron Weasley cutout in your closet, tastefully decorating your house with Harry Potter themed decor is easier than it might seem. Here are some of my personal picks that I think would be easiest to incorporate into your Muggle-fied dorm or apartment and make it a little more magical.

1. The Harry Potter Patronus Duvet Cover

Full disclaimer: I am obsessed with this duvet cover. The color is amazing and the print is whimsical without being too childish. Although it looks cozy and comfortable all by itself, try styling it with the magical velvet quilt and some white or champagne colored sheets!

2. The Elaborate Arched Mirror

It may be a little large and a little pricey for a dorm, but adding a decently sized mirror to a small apartment can work wonders in making the small space seem larger (trust me, I live in a shoebox, I would know). Bonus points if you copy Pottery Barn’s idea of adding little fairy lights around the border to give it an even more enchanted feel!

3. The Harry Potter Hedwig Jewelry Cage

Although a trained pet owl would be unbelievably cool, maybe try something a little more practical to make you feel like you have your own Hedwig: like her cage! It has holes to hang earrings in, hooks to keep necklaces from tangling and a small bowl at the bottom to house rings and bracelets. Compared to my system of hanging necklaces from tacks on my wall, it seems like Pottery Barn has put a little more thought into jewelry storage than I have.

4. The Vintage Chic Rug

This dreamy, seemingly vintage rug comes in a few sizes, one small enough for a dorm room and another large enough to stick under your coffee table, but it brings the same cozy, antique vibe to any room you put it in. Between this and your new arched mirror, your home will start looking like you stumbled on the cutest antique shop of all time.

5. Flameless Wax Candle

I know, why include candles in an article that’s supposed to be about home decorations? Hear me out though: they are glittery and flameless! Perfect for a no-candles-allowed dorm room or someone (like me) who sometimes forgets they ever lit a candle and might fall asleep for a nap with their favorite Bath & Body Works candle still burning. I suggest clustering a few of these on a cool, antique metal tray or different height candle holders beside the bottom corner of the Elaborate Arched Mirror so instead of only having the light of three candles in your room, you get the light of six!

Any Harry Potter fan, whether they are the proud owner of a Tumblr account with the URL Dracos-girlfriend-4ever or have only seen one or two movies, can find a way to incorporate this collection into their home. Hopefully with some of these ideas, your living space will start taking the shape of a Hogwarts dormitory that would even impress Snape!

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
