1. You Know What You’re Doing, Even When You Don’t.

Just like Hermione, you’re a quick thinker. You can anticipate events and improvise when you need to. Your friends can always rely on you to resurrect a situation, and you’re often referred to for advice. While you may not lead a snotty professor into the Forbidden Forest in order to escape her grimy wrath on chance, you are resourceful in your own way and use your street smarts to get ahead.

2. You Feel the Need to Correct Others.

With so much knowledge racing through your mind, you just have to let it free. Trivial things such as grammar mistakes deeply bother you, and you find yourself constantly debating over being nice or right. You’re only trying to help, but you might come off as condescending or arrogant sometimes. But it’s not your fault they don’t know how to pronounce Wingardium Leviosa.

3. You Know When to Take Action.

Being such a perfectionist can gain a lot of enemies, and you have a very clear line for how far you’re willing to let other people go. You’ve all but submitted a patent for the technique you use to shut down your opponents, and you, like Hermione, know when to outsmart them, and when to just punch them in the face.

4. You Can’t Stand Being Average at Something.

You’ve been praised your whole life for being superior in everything that you do, but occasionally, you find something that you absolutely can’t master. You know your niche and don’t expect to defy expectations in your weak areas, but underperforming in your Divinations class may literally cause you to rage quit.

5. You Always Know What to Say.

A lot of friends turn to you in times of need because they know they can rely on you for a judgement-free, cathartic conversation. You have the unique ability to turn your friend’s sadness into motivation and have a way with words that leaves them feeling calm and revitalized.

6. You Read Three Books at a Time.

Wherever you go, your bag overflows with tales of lands far away. You keep your books around, no matter what genre, because you know they’re the best way to learn even more. You immerse yourself within the stories you read and find yourself looking up from your alternate world hours later, not regretting a second of it.

7. You Don’t Take Anything for Granted.

While you are revered for your talents now, you weren’t always gifted with them. You’ve never forgotten the way your life has changed for the better ever since the realization of your dreams. You’ve discovered your own distinct kind of magic and don’t plan on ever letting it go.

8. You Dare to Be Different.

Whether you have always been this way or have learned over time, you are unapologetically you. Regardless of what anyone thinks, you know that you are something stellar. You’ll continue to create your own path and pave the way for others to follow in the future.

9. You Sometimes Intimidate People.

Your unique combination of the four houses may result in people fearing your power; it makes others uncomfortable that you know that you have the ability to change the world. Like Hermione, you keep your head down and work through any doubts, allowing you to eventually achieve all that you desire.

10. You Know That Intelligence Is Nothing Without Bravery.

You know that even if you’re the smartest person in the world, it’s useless unless you put your gifts to use. Your Gryffindor side is your outlet and protection for your ideas and you are sure to make positive change within your community and, by extension, the entire globe. Using your talent to make the world a better place is the most fulfilling and satisfying kind of magic to ever exist.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
