It's hard to come across someone who hasn't seen at least one of the Harry Potter movies. Harry Potter is a series that will go down in history as one of the best series of all time. J.K. Rowling is a genius more or less. Her quotes not only make us think, but inspire us all.

Here's 20 Harry Potter quotes that have inspired us all:

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks.

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
