If you love Harry Potteras much as I do, you've probably already figured out "your house."

If you like Harry Potter a moderate amount, you might be curious about what Hogwarts house you belong in.

If you're relatively new to the Harry Potter scene, you might not be able to tell the four Hogwarts houses apart from one another.

Either way, this article is going to illuminate what it means to be a Gryffindor, a Hufflepuff, a Ravenclaw, or a Slytherin. Then, at the end, if you're unsure of your Hogwarts house, you can take the quiz to find out.

The house of the daring and brave.

To be a Gryffindor, one must be brave, daring, and chivalrous. Those in the Gryffindor house tend to be athletic and popular. Unfortunately, the bravery can sometimes lead to recklessness and a feeling of being superior to everyone else. Some of the more famous members of the Gryffindor house include Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, and Harry Potter.

The house of the loyal and fair.

To be a Hufflepuff, one must be humble and kind. Hufflepuffs have big hearts and are full of goodwill. They are friendly to everyone, regardless of house. Hufflepuffs can have a hard time being productive and have a lack of drive. They don't like to compete against the other houses. Some of the more famous members of the Hufflepuff house include Newt Scamander, Cedric Diggory, and Nymphadora Tonks.

The house of the wise.

To be a Ravenclaw, one must have intelligence and creativity. Members of Ravenclaw are resourceful and need very little outside help. They tend to make the highest marks in their classes. However, some members of Ravenclaw can be arrogant due to their high intelligence and only want to spend time with members of their own house. Some famous Ravenclaws include Luna Lovegood, Gilderoy Lockhart, and Garrick Ollivander.

The house of the ambitious and cunning.

To be a member of the Slytherin house, one must be resourceful and cunning. Slytherins are considered ambitious because they want the best life has to offer---and they will do anything for it. Unfortunately, Slytherin is usually painted as the "evil" house, which is completely untrue. Every house produces a bad apple or two---right? Many Slytherins will argue that the ends justify the means and may be sneaky to get what they want. Some famous Slytherins (besides You-Know-Who) include Severus Snape, Horace Slughorn, and Merlin.

Now that you have had the run down of what it means to be a Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin, why not test for yourself? I, myself, have already tested and confirmed what I thought. I am a proud Slytherin.

What are you? Let the sorting house decide...

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
