Watching the "Harry Potter" movies make me happy. I do not know why they comfort me when I feel sad or anxious. For example, you know I love traveling, but I hate to flight; the other day I had to be in a plane for eight hours, and I found the last two "Harry Potter" movies: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" part 1 y 2. I have to say they made my flight better.

Also, they made me realize JK Rowling killed some of my favorite characters. My memory went back to the moment I read the books, and I cried for these deaths. I knew I needed to share my feelings about them.

To start, Albus Dumbledore is not on my list. I always knew Dumbledore had to die. With the best wizard alive, Harry did not have any reason to confront Voldemort directly.

1. Dobby.

Facebook: Harry Potter.

Dobby is the death I cried the most. Dobby is a martyr. He is a slave in the second book, but he is brave enough to work against his owners to save Harry. Later, we know he is happy and full of socks working in Howards.

In the last book (and in movie seven), he appears when we think Harry is lost. Harry and his friends are in Malfoy's mansion as prisoners, and Bellatrix is torturing Hermione. Dobby arrives like a hero. Dobby saves everybody, but he gets killed by Bellatrix.

Dobby dies on the beach; it is heartbreaking. I remember myself crying all the time the book. Dobby deserved a better end, a happy one.

2. Fred.

Facebook: Harry Potter.

When you read a series of seven novels, you have some presentiments about the end of the novels. I always knew that one member of the Weasley family would die, but I never thought it would be one of the twins.

Weasley twins are amazing, brave, funny, and rebels. By the books and the movies, we got in love with them. Why did not Rolling kill Bill (we did not know him a lot), Charlie (we never saw him), or Percy (he is a jerk)? Why she has to hurt us so deeply?

3. Sirius.

Facebook: Harry Potter.

Harry finally finds a kind family member, his godfather Sirius Black. Sirius was unfairly imprisoned when Harry was a little boy. By the time, we discovered how much Sirius and James (Harry's father) loved each other. In books four and five, Sirius is a fugitive, but he always has time to take care of Harry.

In "Harry Potter and Order of the Phoenix" Harry makes a big mistake, and he goes to Voldemort's tramp. The result is Sirius dies, and Harry loses his only real family. In the end, Sirius has a sad life.

4. Lupin.

Facebook: Harry Potter.

Remus Lupin is another sad character. He is suffering lycanthropy all his life (he is a werewolf). The first time Rolling describes Lupin he is almost a homeless. He cannot get a good job because of his condition. When he finally finds the love with Tonks and has a kid, Edward, he dies in "Battle of Howards."

5. Harry.

Facebook: Harry Potter.

I can understand that Harry is the last Horcrux, but all the idea of Voldemort killing Harry, and Harry talking with Dumbledore in limbo is not good enough. It was too much, and it was not necessary.

Probably you have your list. I am not missing Snape in my list. I think he deserves his end.

By the way, each May 2nd, Rowling apologizes for one death in "Harry Potter" novels. She picked this date because it is the anniversary of the "Battle of Howards." So far, she said sorry for Dobby, Lupin, Fred and Snape.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
