Freeform has just announced that they're canceling "Harry Potter" weekends, and it's not okay.

Like a lot of people, I grew up loving Harry Potter. I read the books so many times that the covers fell off and I had to buy a completely new set. I would watch the movies every night until I fell asleep. Whenever it was a "Harry Potter" weekend, the T.V. was mine.

All of that has changed. Wands up, everyone. It's time to mourn this tragic loss.

Although it's safe to say most "Harry Potter" fans own all the movies, if you watch them on DVD, it just isn't the same. "Harry Potter" weekends feature all eight films and included deleted scenes. These weekends had more content than the movies being sold in stores.

These weekends happened frequently and became a constant on the Freeform channel. Nine times out of ten if you flipped the TV to Freeform, "Harry Potter" would be on. Without any warning, Freeform has snatched that opportunity away. They might as well have obliviated us. It would've been less painful.

Freeform has yet to announce what they'll be replacing with the "Harry Potter" weekends. It's obvious they'll never find something with the same entertainment value, but they'll try their best.

Regardless of these weekends being canceled, I've enjoyed growing up and watching Harry, Ron, and Hermione go on countless adventures together. I'll miss these weekends with them terribly, but I'll never forget them.

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.
