Eleven Items from Harry Potter That Would Make College Life Easier
David Sprague

You're struggling with schoolwork and getting ready for finals when you realize that Harry Potter and his gang had it good in school. From extendable ears to broomsticks, they had many ways to help them survive in school. Here are a few items from the wizarding world that would be extremely helpful for college:


1. Broomsticks

Just imagine how easily and quickly you could get to class if you had one of these. No more long walks between buildings and across campus, just hop on one of these babies, and you'll be in class in just a few seconds.

2. Auto-Answer Quill


With this item, you'd never have to study for another test again. Just sit back, and let the quill do the thinking for you. Finals would be a breeze!

3. Invisibility Cloak


If you had one of these, you could slip out of class easily, or just get out of bad situations. Instead of staying for all of class, just wait till roll is taken, then get out as fast as possible.

4. Extendable Ears

Rather than sitting in lectures all day, just have a friend carry the ends of these to the class and you can listen from anywhere else on campus.

5. Portkey

If you want to go off campus with some friends, it normally takes some doing. You have to get a driver, and you probably have to shell out some cash for gas money. If you had a portkey, you could just teleport to another place, where other people already put a portkey. Mall trips would be so much more fun.

6. A Golden Snitch

Why play a boring game of frisbee with friends when you're in need of an activity? Just let this magical item out of your pocket, and have fun chasing it around all day.

7. Skiving Snackboxes

Okay, so you can already leave class early, and you can get to class quickly, but what if you don't feel like going to class at all? Well, a skiving snackbox would work perfectly for you. Just eat a piece of candy, head to the local nurses on campus, and boom, no classes for the day.

8. The Marauders Map

If you want to get to know all the cool places on campus, find someplace quiet to study, or avoid that professor whose homework you forgot to do, this item is for you.

9. A Secrecy Sensor

Have you ever felt that your friend might be lying to you about something? Worry no more, because with a secrecy sensor, you'll always know if they're being truthful or not. This also might come in handy for in-class debates with a professor.

10. Rememberall

Do you keep forgetting to do assignments? You'll never forget to do one again, if you have one of these items. Just remember to look at it once in a while...

11. A Time Turner

Every college student has done something they've regretted at least once in their student career. If you had a time turner, you could change that for the better. Just be careful not to be seen in two different places at once.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
