Let the sorting hat decide.

Which Hogwarts House Are You In?

If you love Harry Potter as much as I do, you've probably already figured out "your house."

If you like Harry Potter a moderate amount, you might be curious about what Hogwarts house you belong in.

If you're relatively new to the Harry Potter scene, you might not be able to tell the four Hogwarts houses apart from one another.

Either way, this article is going to illuminate what it means to be a Gryffindor, a Hufflepuff, a Ravenclaw, or a Slytherin. Then, at the end, if you're unsure of your Hogwarts house, you can take the quiz to find out.

The house of the daring and brave.

To be a Gryffindor, one must be brave, daring, and chivalrous. Those in the Gryffindor house tend to be athletic and popular. Unfortunately, the bravery can sometimes lead to recklessness and a feeling of being superior to everyone else. Some of the more famous members of the Gryffindor house include Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, and Harry Potter.

The house of the loyal and fair.

To be a Hufflepuff, one must be humble and kind. Hufflepuffs have big hearts and are full of goodwill. They are friendly to everyone, regardless of house. Hufflepuffs can have a hard time being productive and have a lack of drive. They don't like to compete against the other houses. Some of the more famous members of the Hufflepuff house include Newt Scamander, Cedric Diggory, and Nymphadora Tonks.

The house of the wise.

To be a Ravenclaw, one must have intelligence and creativity. Members of Ravenclaw are resourceful and need very little outside help. They tend to make the highest marks in their classes. However, some members of Ravenclaw can be arrogant due to their high intelligence and only want to spend time with members of their own house. Some famous Ravenclaws include Luna Lovegood, Gilderoy Lockhart, and Garrick Ollivander.

The house of the ambitious and cunning.

To be a member of the Slytherin house, one must be resourceful and cunning. Slytherins are considered ambitious because they want the best life has to offer---and they will do anything for it. Unfortunately, Slytherin is usually painted as the "evil" house, which is completely untrue. Every house produces a bad apple or two---right? Many Slytherins will argue that the ends justify the means and may be sneaky to get what they want. Some famous Slytherins (besides You-Know-Who) include Severus Snape, Horace Slughorn, and Merlin.

Now that you have had the run down of what it means to be a Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin, why not test for yourself? I, myself, have already tested and confirmed what I thought. I am a proud Slytherin.

What are you? Let the sorting house decide...

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.
