Let's Settle This Once And For All— Which Is The Best Hogwarts House?

Warner Brothers

Gryffindor

1. Their mascot is a freaking lion

2. They've got the most bad-a$ witch as their head of house otherwise known as Minerva McGonagall

3. Their Quidditch team is pretty good, and Oliver Wood is the best

4. They've got Neville Longbottom, all the Weasleys, and the main characters.

5. Red and gold is a really pretty color combination

6. They face their fears and stand up for their friends

7. They know when to take charge and they make great leaders

8. Everyone wants to be in the same house as Harry Potter

9. Nearly Headless Nick is pretty dam cool

10. They've got a pretty cool secret weapon, aka the sword of Gryffindor

There are lots of reasons Gryffindor is a pretty bomb-fricking-diggity house, but we've still got three more to review, so, let's continue, shall we?

Slytherin

1. It strives for greatness (but is not evil!)

2. Merlin was in their house! As were some other pretty great wizards like Regulus Black and Horace Slughorn

3. Regardless of good or evil, Slytherin produces wizards with enough raw power, smarts, and cunning to come close to conquering the wizarding world. Pretty impressive.

4. Until Potter show's up Slytherin was the champion house, winning the House cup, seven years in a row!

5. The house animal, a giant serpent, is not something to mess around with.

6. They know how to get their way out of any kind of pickle

7. They've got serious style

8. The Bloody Baron has an interesting background and is the only one who can control Peeves the Poltergeist

9. Their common room is fricking underwater!

10. They're so unpredictable which is awesome!

Even though poor Slytherin house gets a bad rap from Harry when he begs not to be in it, wizards like Pansy Parkinson, Malfoy, and well... Voldemort, they're pretty amazing! Not all Slytherin's are evil and racist, Slytherins will literally make some of the best friends you could have.

Ravenclaw

media.giphy.com

1. They've sort of got the best house name

2. Blue is probably the best color ever

3. Knowledge is power

4. They have Luna Lovegood aka the best character and human being hands down

5. Olivander, Flitwick, Trelawney, Padma Patil, and Moaning Myrtle were all Ravenclaw and they're amazing!

6. Their house token is a fricking gorgeous tiara!

7. Their common room is in a tower, designed for a perfect study room, with its own mini library!

8. They don't really give a crap about winning the house cup, they've got better things to do

9. They encourage creativity and thinking outside the box

10. Their house mascot is an eagle! How awesome is that?!

Ravenclaw house is probably (wrongly) the most underrated house of the series. They're pretty awesome and they don't care about power or glory, they just want to learn which is the actual reason Hogwarts exists... its a school.

Hufflepuff

1. Honeybadger is known to challenge lions and kill snakes and birds so...

2. Black and yellow is a great color combo

3. They have Newt Scamander who is the most precious human to walk the face of the earth

4. They also have the amazing, quirky, and beautiful Nymphadora Tonks

5. J.K. Rowling herself said "In many, many ways Hufflepuff is my favorite house"

6. They will literally be your best friend for life

7. They may be cute little cupcakes but you DO NOT want to make one mad

8. Their common room is by the kitchen because after dealing with the other houses all day, they're gonna need snacks

9. They accept anyone who has a little bit of everything: intelligence, bravery, and ambition, plus they're loyal and hardworking!

10. Hufflepuff had the most people fight in the Battle of Hogwarts

Poor Hufflepuffs get such a bad rep for being the rejects but they're not! They're the kindest people you'll ever meet and they're a combination of the other three houses!

So, after much consideration, I think we have a winner, don't you agree?

House pride! Whoop whoop! Hope you enjoyed!

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

The Stages Of A Crush As Told By The Cast of "Bob's Burgers"

We all go through certain stages when we have a crush, Tina just explains it better.

Dean College

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

Adulting 101: In Sickness And In Self

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

25 Thoughts Everyone Has When Registering For Classes

May the odds be ever in your favor.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

University of Kentucky

pointsincase.com

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

The struggles of having an RBF are all too real

1. People asking if you're mad at them.

2. Those people who hand out flyers don't always try to stop you.

3. Creepy guys telling you to smile.

4. "I thought you were a bitch when I first met you."

5. People telling you you'd be "so much prettier if you smiled."

6. Doing your makeup and looking great, which somehow intensifies the bitch face.

7. Regularly explaining "it's just my face."

We all go through certain stages when we have a crush, Tina just explains it better.

That moment that someone you never looked twice at suddenly makes you do a double take out of no where.

But you can't have a crush, that's outrageous. It's all in your head.

Because you don't have a crush, there's no reason to tell anyone about anything. Right?

But then they do something irresistible and you start to lose it.

Now accepting the fact you have a crush, you have to keep it under control.

Then there's the part where you tell your friends who will claim they called it.

They'll be excited and cheer you on. That's until they realize that your crush is all you'll be talking about.

Your obsession has become so bad, that your Facebook stalking is getting out of control.

But your friends will try and help move things along any way they can. That doesn't mean it will be any helpful though.

As time goes on, you start having fantasies about the two of you and it's starting to scare you a little.

You can't focus on anything because all your attention is on them and everything they do.

Anybody who comes near your crush is now an enemy, and you are willing to fight for your crush.

When you see them, you act like an idiot. Trying to hide your feelings may not be as discrete as you think.

Keeping your feelings inside will start to be harder and harder until you can't keep it inside anymore.

Who knows, maybe it will work out? Take a chance.

Everybody hurts sometimes.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

1. You feel like an elder.

2. You may feel lonely.

3. Senioritis is more real than ever.

4. You may feel a little down sometimes.

5. Fear of missing out won't be as real.

6. You are a college pro.

7. You'll have more free time.

8. You're happy you're still in school.

9. You feel like a guru.

10. You continue to grow.
