All Colleges Look Like Hogwarts

Dear Readers,

Hey guys! Been gone a while and I thought I should explain myself.

I was touring colleges up in the NorthEast: New Jersey, New York, Virginia, Washington, etc. I'm not going to list them or tell you my favorites, but I will tell one thing.

All colleges look like Hogwarts.

Okay, not all colleges. But all of the old, prestigious college's residential halls look like Harry Potter's room. And that was incredibly cool...the first time.

The fifth time, I realized that they are still muggle schools so it doesn't really make a difference, now does it?

But it did get me thinking: College is going to be a lot like going to wizarding school. You'll be off, in this new place, surrounded by things you don't recognize, discovering who you really are and all of your abilities, and ultimately you have to emerge as the person you were meant to be.

Just a Harry Potter fan's way of looking at it.

Sincerely,
Elle

P.S. I didn't just go to colleges to compare them to J.K. Rowlings masterpiece by the way. If you're thinking about college right now, I strongly suggest you go to the information sessions. You learn a lot about the schools that way.
