Emma Watson has been charming the hearts of many since she started out in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in 2001.

A new generation will know her as Belle instead of Hermione, and honestly, I’m ok with that. While I am a huge Harry Potter fan, and I love Hermione, I also love Disney and Belle! (We can introduce them to Hermione later). She stunned in Beauty and the Beast, and you can truly see how great of an actress (and singer) she is! Both stories are filled with magic, love, and fierceness!

Emma is known for being a feminist, her work with women’s rights, and showing how women can be strong! Her two most famous roles, Belle and Hermione, signify just that.

These women have many things in common. Here are some of the reasons why we aspire to be like them…




Both bookworms, these characters show that just because women read doesn’t mean they are weird, odd, or boring. They are smart!



They both fall in love with the underdog, instead of the guy who everyone wants.



They are very brave.

Belle volunteered to take her father’s place and Hermione defeated the giant chess board and faced a troll.



They are caregivers.



Their loved ones are the most important thing and they would do anything for them.



Neither one is afraid to speak their minds.



Dancing with the ones they love is something they enjoy.



They both believe in magic and live in a big castle.




Beautiful - inside and out.




There are more comparisons between these strong, heroic characters, and many little girls aspire to be like them!

Emma Watson was perfect to play both parts! We need more characters like Belle and Hermione to show us that women are not just a pretty face, but smart, brave, and fierce.

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.
