You Know You Are A True Potterhead When...

You struggle being just a muggle.

You Know You Are A True Potterhead When...
Tammy Trout

As kids we all grew up having a thing. The '90s kids were blessed with being able to grow reading and watching Harry Potter go from a simple story about a boy who lived to a billion dollar idea that now involves 8 fantastic movies, an interactive website, a theme park in two states, and a fan base that grows every second. I read my first Harry Potter book in the first grade and it changed my life. I am a Potterhead. Take a peek into what that actually means and you may realize you're one, too!

1. You can quote almost every line in any movie. And sometimes you break into dialogue and act out the part for absolutely no reason.

2. You have a special place in your room dedicated to the display of all eight movies and all seven perfectly written books.

3. You have been to Harry Potter World more than once and still make plans to go back every year. August 1, 2016 be ready for me, I am returning.

4. You are either on or seriously debating being on your college’s quidditch team. Yes this is actually a real thing. Did anyone else notice that they were playing it in the background in "Pitch Perfect" while Becca is looking at all the clubs?

5. You cannot refrain from pointing out the actors from any of the movies in other movies or TV shows. You actually think you are sly when you lean over and say, "Hey, they're from 'HP.'"

6. You do not miss Harry Potter weekend on ABC Family. The really great thing about these weekend is that they are the uncut versions of the movie and this is the only way you get to see those extras that should have stayed in the original movie.

7. You have had at least one Harry Potter birthday party. It is okay if your 22nd birthday was Harry Potter themed, there is no shame.

8. You have a wand, somewhere; it may be hidden because someone could steal it. Or you could also have it on display. This is a personal preference thing.

9. You have articles of clothing and you wear them. Whether that be a cute top with a quote or some Gryffindor stripped socks under your jeans, you've got to have something.

10. You hear any music from any soundtrack and you know exactly which part it goes to in the movie. The skill this requires should be commended.

11. You get into heated debates about what should have been in the movies from the books and how they messed some super important facts up that you felt were vital. Its so easy to yourself worked up and start ranting about it.

12. You have the soundtracks for the movies on your Spotify account, and you listen to it. I do so while studying, I find it soothing.

13. Your roommates don’t let you pick on movie night anymore because they always know what you are going to choose.

14. You have adopted the Wizarding World vocabulary into your everyday vocabulary. Muggles everywhere.

15. The word, “always” makes your heart clench. Boys take note. This is how you get to a female Potterhead’s heart.

16. You still follow the lives of all the actors and you love seeing what they are doing now, even if you call them by their HP names instead of their real ones.

17. You have named something you own after Harry Potter. Example: I have a black Honda CRV, therefore I call him Serious Black. Clever, yes I know.

18. You have a Pinterest page dedicated directly to your Harry Potter addiction. Yes, it is an addiction. There is no known cure.

19. You think chocolate frogs are a normal candy that should be in the checkout line available for purchase. Why shouldn't you be able to walk into Walmart and leave with a beautifully boxed frog made of milk chocolate?

20. You are still waiting for your Hogwarts letter to arrive. The owl just got lost, it will come. One day, right?

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
