If Big Ten Schools Were Harry Potter Characters

The Big Ten is home to fourteen universities with all different personalities and stereotypes. Like the characters of Harry Potter, there are some we love, some we tolerate, and some we downright hate. Here's if the Big Ten was comprised of Harry Potter characters:

Penn State and Indiana University as Fred and George Weasley.


The Weasley Twins are always the life of the party. Fun-loving and master pranksters, Fred and George’s personalities perfectly align with the party scenes of Penn State and IU.

Michigan State as Draco Malfoy.

Michigan State is the worst. Because they have an amazing football and basketball team, they think they are the best school in the Big Ten even though they are lacking the academics of some of the other schools. Draco Malfoy is cocky just like Michigan State.

Illinois as Arthur Weasley.

As Head of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office for the Ministry of Magic, Arthur Weasley’s occupation is seen as a joke by some, like Lucius Malfoy. He isn’t the brightest, but he has good intentions and a heart of gold. Like the University of Illinois, they’re party-school reputation and impressive Greek life often overshadows their academics.

Minnesota, Maryland and Rutgers as Neville Longbottom.

Wait, these three schools are in the Big Ten? Neville Longbottom is often underestimated by his classmates due to his shy, awkward personality even though he has plenty of potential just like Minnesota, Maryland, and Rutgers.

Purdue as Luna Lovegood.

Slightly weird but insanely intelligent, Luna Lovegood is just like the Engineers at Purdue.

Nebraska as Rubeus Hagrid.

With a mascot like the “Cornhuskers”, Hagrid is a perfect choice. Nature-loving and friendly, Hagrid and his hut would fit in the fields of Nebraska.

Iowa as Ginny Weasley.

Plain, family-oriented, and strong Midwestern values, Iowa is the muggle version of Ginny Weasley.

Wisconsin as Ron Weasley.

A great school, Wisconsin is often overshadowed by the big named schools like Michigan and Michigan State. Ron Weasley is best friends with Harry Potter and always comes second when compared to Harry.

Northwestern as Hermoine Granger.

Intelligent and always focused on her studies, Hermoine Granger is known as being Hogwarts’ bookworm. Northwestern is known as the smart school of the Big Ten and that’s pretty much it.

Ohio State as Professor Snape.

The professor everyone hates except his own house of Slytherin. Everyone hates Ohio State besides their own fan base.

Lastly, the University of Michigan as Harry Potter.

Harry’s slight arrogance may cause people to dislike him at times, but he embodies the “Leaders & Best” attitude. Intelligent, athletic, and hard-working, Harry Potter is well-rounded just like the students at the University of Michigan.

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.
