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.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
