27 Times 'Harry Potter' Described College Perfectly
Free Tours By Foot

Okay let's face it... if you've ever watched Harry Potter you can agree that on your 11th birthday you were eagerly waiting for an owl to swoop down and give you your acceptance letter to Hogwarts. Unfortunately (as far as I know) wizarding schools aren't real so none of us ever got the letter we were hoping for all those years ago.

Even though we never went to Hogwarts, we went to college. Close enough right? (Not really.)
There are moments in the Harry Potter series that describe college better than we ever could. So, I give you 27 times Harry Potter perfectly captured what college is all about.

1. When you finally see your friends after summer break

2. When you have to eat in the cafe by yourself


3. When you have no idea what the professor is talking about

4. When you open your textbook for the first time all semester

There's a lot more useful information in there than we thought.


5. Bar Charlotte summed up

We'll miss you Bar Charlotte...


6. Every athlete in the cafe after practice

No shame. None, what-so-ever.


7. When the professor says the final is cumulative


8. Freshmen trying to find their way around campus


9. The look you give when Coach says "Get on the line"

If looks could kill...


10. When class gets cancelled

That extra hour of sleep is precious.


11. When class gets cancelled but you find out by showing up and nobody else is there

Always check your email in the morning!


12. What actually happens to everything you learned all year over summer break

What's meiosis & mitosis again? We only spent 3 weeks learning about it...


13. When the know-it-all in class opens his/her mouth


14. When there's no good food in the cafe

Cereal it is! Again.


15. When you get stuck being mom for the night


16. When you have a procrastination problem and have to pull an all-nighter


17. When you know you failed an exam but gotta walk out with your head held high

Hopefully you don't actually know this feeling!


18. When you're the only sober one at the party


19. When your friend tells you they did exactly what you told them not to do

Moral of the story: always listen to your friends, or you'll hear a big fat "I told you so!"


20. When there's a big home game on campus

Probably soccer...


21. Walking into 6 a.m. classes with the team like...

We're here for our death sentence!


22. When you drop something in the cafe and everyone starts clapping


23. When you show up late to class...

You either came from practice and smell really bad or just rolled out of bed and have lines all over your face from your pillow.


24. ...Or you decide to stay in bed and not go to class at all

This will probably be the day there's a pop quiz.


25. When you have to practice outside in outrageous weather


40 degrees and raining or 100 degrees and sweating in places I didn't know could sweat.


26. When someone you don't want at the party shows up

It might have been different if they were the only ones that showed up, but they brought their whole squad...


27. When your friend goes home for the weekend

Yeah, it's only 3 months, but who wants to be away from their best friends for that long??

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
