Ok, so I love my best friend! Rylee* and I have been best friends since the first day of high school, so for about 5 years now. We have never gotten in a fight and I have only been annoyed by her about twice in the entire 5 years I've been friends with her, but now we are approaching majorly annoying territory.
I support everyone's right to be obsessed with something, I mean everyone is usually obsessed with something. My obsession is Harry Potter and I really like many other things. Rylee on the other hand is obsessed with Supernatural. I have a Tumblr account and so does she. But here is the difference between us, I don't only reblog stuff about Harry Potter just because I'm obsessed with it, if I wanted to do that, I would create a blog solely for that purpose if I wanted only Harry Potter, so as not to bombard my followers and friends with Harry Potter stuff, but my best friend did not do that.
I really am okay with her loving Supernatural, that is great for her. I'm even okay with her talking about it all the time and making references, because I do the same with Harry Potter, but when I'm not with her I expect at least SOME relief from the supernatural stuff, but NOOOOOOO, I get no relief!!! Every time I go on Tumblr my dash is flooded with Supernatural stuff and Misha, Jenson, and Jared. I have to search and search to find stuff I actually want to reblog For a while it was okay, I even found some stuff funny, even though I don't watch the show, but after two months (which isn't that long, but believe me, on Tumblr time it's long) I am so fricken tired of it. I don't want to go on Tumblr and see only Supernatural everywhere I look, I want to see the things I like! And I can't even ask her to tone it down because she has been so supportive of my obsessions and I don't want to seem ungrateful, but can't a girl get some time away from the Supernatural stuff?? I need a break!!

Stress Levels are at Hair Tearing Out at this Point in Time
Firstly, this is a super stressful time right now, finals are starting next week and if I don't get my sh** together and get a 3.5 I'm going to get dropped from my major. That is not even half of it, though. My friends, though I love them to death, are making me want to tear all my hair out.
SITUATION 1: High School Drama in College?
So I have this group of about 8 friends who do everything together. Two of my friends from this group(lets call them Gigi* and Ali*) started going out in November, but Ali didn't really feel into the relationship and after letting it go on, they broke it off in late February. Before they broke it off though, Gigi said somethings (to a few people) she didn't really mean, because she was hurt that Ali had been keeping the fact she wasn't happy with her a secret. Some of our friends are okay with Gigi again, like Ali's roommate Sally* and our friend Teddy*, but the other people like our friend Minnie* and especially Ali won't speak to Gigi and she won't speak to them. So every time I'm with Gigi and I see the group or I'm with the group and see Gigi I'm caught in what I should do cause they blatantly ignore each other so I can't talk to them both at the same time, I have to pick who I want to talk to and it' so awkward like there is this big elephant in the room (or elevator) and I HATE IT!! I do not want to pick sides and they aren't making me pick them until we are all together...And before you say, well it's not like you guys are always all together, WE ARE. We are all in the same major and live on the same floor in our dorms and we all participate in the same activities and classes. Oh, and to top all this wonderful awkwardness off Gigi is transferring schools next year because of all of this and she is one of my best friends here, so I don't know what I am going to do!! I thought we were supposed to leave all the high school drama in high school....
Before I continue, it's going to be another long one so leave if you don't care, thanks.
SITUATION 2: Boys Boys Boys Boys (The world according to Kaycee*)
My friend Kaycee loves boys, I mean loooooooooooooves them and right now she has this "situation" (it wouldn't actually be a situation though if she would just listen!) going on with two boys. First there was this boy named John* (he lives in our dorm too, but is 3 years older)who she met one weekend at a party. He is pretty hot, but he is a not so great person who somehow always convinces her to do things she instantly regrets (no, not sexual things, they ate sandwiches together, if you get my How I met Your Mother reference). They texted and talked for a few weeks before she said "Maddie! He isn't a good guy, I need to stop talking to him" to me. This was after she ate some more sandwiches that she regretted and so I told her, "okay, you can do it, you said he has facial hair now that doesn't look good on him, so every time you think of him think of that and the sandwiches he convinced you to eat." She did that he kind of slipped her mind a little, but would still constantly bring him up. Then a few weeks later (right after Spring Break) Kaycee told me about this guy named Steve who had been kind of creeping on her. After she told me everything I decided I didn't like him immediately and said that she should just stop talking to him, but if she always listened to my advice I wouldn't be tearing my hair out would I? Before I go on you have to understand that Kaycee is an extremely social person. No matter how much she doesn't really like someone or talk to them that often she can NEVER delete them off Facebook and she could NEVER delete their number. So she continues to think hes kind of a creeper and he continues to extremely annoy her, but SHE KEEPS TEXTING HIM! She isn't attracted to him unless she is.....whatever, unless she is drunk and even then it's only cuz he is the only available guy with her when she is drunk. She doesn't really like his personality and she is grossed out by the fact that he is balding VERY early on, yet she KEEPS. TALKING. TO. HIM!!!! This isn't even just a friendship for her, she keeps talking about maybe hooking up with him too. And every time he does something stupid or annoying each and EVERYONE of her friends (including me) say literally the same exact thing "You don't really want to care about him so instead of complaining, just delete his number off your phone, delete him as a Facebook friend, don't seek him out in person anymore and get one with your life." I'm not even kidding when literally the 9 people she asked (including me) said the EXACT SAME THING, but every time, she said well, I'm going to ask so and so to see what they say because she doesn't like our answer. Also, everytime he texts and she asks me if she should text back or what should she say, I tell her one thing, she does the opposite, and BAM!! she regrets it instantaneously and says "I should've listened to you, Maddie." I don't even know why she bothers asking if she is going to do whatever she wants (the wrong thing) anyways, Heck! I don't even know why I bother answering!! And now, even with all this stupid Steve nonsense going on, she is starting on with John again! I'm just going to go crazy if I have to deal with this all the time! Every time I talk to her its nothing except trying to dissect a stupid message that Steve or John sent her when the meaning is right in the words. It doesn't mean anything else!!! But will she listen? NOOOOO!!!! I love her to death too, but we never talk about anything except her stupid made up boy problems and its freakin getting ON MY NERVES!!! It's just like in He's Just Not That Into You when Justin Long said "You guys secretly crave drama", trust me, I don't crave drama, but Kaycee DEFINITELY does.

ENDING
I swear, because I didn't have any drama in my life in high school, it's all catching up with me now in college and that is terrible considering I'm in one of the toughest majors in my school and I'm already up to my ears in stress from trying to keep my grades perfect while still having a life.
GAHHHH! Stress, please go away!!

Hello, I'm Not Gonna Waste Any Time
HI! So Yes it is called Potter Approved, and I might talk about Harry Potter a lot (a lot, a lot), but not everything will be about it, soooo on to my blog I guess.
I really wanted to talk about English class, I know, its boring, but deal with it! :P
Well I haven't been in an Honors/AP English class since my freshman year (I'm a senior now), and it sucks. I'm one of those people who really like writing and really, really (really) loves to read, I know, weird, right? Well I am one of those people and it sucks because I'm in On Level English. Long story short, my dad made me quite honors after freshman year because he thought "I couldn't handle it."
Well these people in On Level English are nice people, but they don't like English and its just horrible being stuck in a class full of people who act dumb and don't want to really be there. Even the curriculum is sucky, because we only get to read parts of things (like the Iliad, Beowulf, etc.) from the literature books, and we don't get to hear the whole story.
Today in class we started reading Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales and I found the beginning perfectly fine and somewhat interesting. The girl next to me, however, did not. We were talking about the part we had read and she complained "Why did this guy have to write this long, drawn out explanation of the character of the knight, when he could of just put 'The knight was chivalrous and shit'?" Really? She doesn't even get that its supposed to be poetic and give us a good description of the character.
I know that AP English is really hard, and I know you get a lot of work, and I don't know about you guy's (or girls), but I would rather be in a hard class that challenged me, where people actually somewhat appreciate literature we read, and where I don't just get an easy A, than in my class where people think Chaucer should have described his knight as "chivalrous and shit."
Well, that was my rant about english, haha, see you some time soon!
Toodles!
