20 Signs You're A Harry Potter Fanatic

It's the fandom that will keep on living.

The new movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" will be launching on November 18, 2016. If you're a die-hard Harry Potter fan you probably already know that. You've known about it since the day news about the new Harry Potter movie came out (and you probably cried with joy). Just because the original "Harry Potter" books and movies have been completed doesn't mean that we've given up our love for the Boy Who Lived. Us HP fans are dedicated and loyal subjects to anything created by the creator, J.K Rowling, so it's no wonder our love for the universe has seeped into our lives. You might be a "Harry Potter" fan if...

1. You've read all the books, multiple times...

2. You tend to overreact when someone says they haven't read the books, but seen the movies.

3. When you find a single sock while doing laundry you know it went to a good house elf.

4. You become the sorting hat for all your friends and strangers you meet.

5. You've picked up a bloody good accent from watching the movies so many times.

6. When you feel lazy you've shouted Accio at objects trying to get them to come to you.

7. You've played quidditch or joined a team in school.

8. You played Pottermore since it came out or even better had the beta version.

9. You've done the sorting test multiple times on Pottermore hoping to get the house you want... and then made all your friends and family take the test as well.

10. You had a Harry Potter themed birthday when you turned 11.

11. You've been or dream of traveling (and potentially living) at Harry Potter Wizarding World in California or Florida.

12. You probably cried when one of your favorite characters died... and admit it at least one did.

13. You have great pride for your house.

14. You have so much Harry Potter merchandise.

15. You know toilets in London can transport you to the Ministry of Magic.

16. You mutter Lumos and Nox as you turn on and off the lights.

17. You have visited or plan to visit Platform 9 3/4 at Kings Cross Station... and will attempt to resist running into the brick wall.

18. You've tried Bertie Bots Every Flavor Beans... and realized they weren't kidding about every flavor.

19. You've tried to figure out what your patronous would be.

20. You've taken away great moral lessons.

For most of us, "Harry Potter" has been around for our entire childhood. We stayed up late waiting for books to be released and movies to catch our attention. We have lived through a battle of wizards and are ready to begin a new journey with the upcoming Harry Potter related films, parks and plays. So bring it on J.K. Rowling; we're ready!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
