Technically you should know more, but I had to cut the nerdiness down to 12.

As dorky as it sounds, some Harry Potter quotes can be oddly relatable to everyone's daily lives. Other Harry Potter quotes are just quirky and fun and can be used as random trivia to impress/annoy your friends. So, here they are:

1. "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." - Albus Dumbledore, Prisoner of Azkaban

This quote just seems to be the essence of Harry Potter. Wise, magical, and absolutely awesome. And also makes for a great tattoo.

2. "You're a fool, Harry Potter. And you will lose everything." - Voldemort, Order of the Phoenix

Voldemort is so easy to hate, obviously because he is the most dangerous wizard of all time. Yet, I can't help but love how classically evil he really is, and his delivery of this line truly demonstrated that.

3. "You're not a bad person. You're a very good person who bad things have happened to." - Sirius Black, Order of the Phoenix


Why did Sirius Black have to die? He gave such great advice and still maintained that "good-guy-devil-may-care" look. RIP Sirius Black.

4. "Everything's going to change now, isn't it?" - Hermione Granger, Goblet of Fire


This one really hit home. Cedric Diggory had just been murdered, and Voldemort had formally returned. I quietly say this quote to myself whenever I have to do "adult" things.

5. "Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right, and what is easy." - Albus Dumbledore, Goblet of Fire


Once again, Dumbledore spits the truth. And it's so easily relatable to a mere muggle's life as well.

6. "And then he greeted Death as an old friend, and went with him gladly, and, equals, they departed this life." - Hermione Granger, Deathly Hallows Part 1

Technically Hermione is quoting a book, but either way, it's amazing. The eerie animated scene depicting the history of the Deathly Hallows was wonderfully unique, and this quote is simply beautiful, in the oddest way possible.

7. "For in dreams we entire a world that is entirely our own. Let them swim through the deepest ocean or glide over the highest cloud." - Albus Dumbledore, Prisoner of Azkaban


Once again, a timeless quote from Dumbledore. So light, and magical, a lovely break from the underlying seriousness of the series.

8. "Curiosity is not a sin, Harry...but we should exercise caution with our curiosity." - Albus Dumbledore, Goblet of Fire

I can just hear his voice saying this. Maybe I'm just obsessed, but, for some reason, this quote is so oddly memorable.

9. "I must not tell lies." - Harry Potter, Order of the Phoenix


Ah, yes. When Harry finally let Delores Umbridge have a test of her own medicine. Right on Harry, right on.

10. "Of course it is happening inside your head...but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?" - Albus Dumbledore, Deathly Hallows Part 2

Thanks for making me feel saner than I actually am, Dumbledore.

11. "Harry Potter, we meet again." - Voldemort, Sorcerer's Stone

Once again, I'm playing devil's advocate. It's almost nostalgic to think back to the first movie and see the cheesily animated head of Voldemort. Either way, the snake-like dialogue was wonderfully creepy.

12. "Don't. Lie. To me." -Severus Snape, Goblet of Fire

I adore Severus Snape, and if you don't understand why, reread the series, please. This line is classic Snape, and his delivery is unparalleled. Who doesn't love a little greasy black hair every now and then?

You're welcome for getting such wonderfully memorable quotes stuck in your head, you're officially a Harry Potter nerd, now.

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.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
