What character is your school?

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
