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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
