Hatin’ on Harry Potter Day with Claire Buss

Her Campus Placeholder Avatar Caroline Black
This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Kenyon chapter.


Name: Claire Buss

Class: 2012

Hometown: Pittsburgh, PA

So today’s Harry Potter Day. Are you getting into your house robes for dinner?
No! Screw Harry Potter Day. I’m officially against Harry Potter Day! I get that HP is part of our collective nostalgia, blah, blah, blah, but can we quit infantilizing the student body and quit it with the owl s*** already?

That’s a very strong stance. Could this be possible emotional scarring from freshman year, when you woke up early for the scavenger hunt?
Um…No! You know what, I did wake up early, and I didn’t get any Bertie Botts.’ 

So, tell me about your groundbreaking all cookie diet!
It’s not to be confused with the Hollywood cookie diet. Gund Servery was not conducive to healthy eating in 2009.

Do you have a signature move, dancing or otherwise?
I like to do alot of spins. 360s, 180s. I tuck my arms in for aerodynamics.

Speaking of Aero, did you ever go through a phase in middle school in which you wore only Aeropostale?
No, I was never really into Aeropostale. Although I think my eighth grade boyfriend got me a puka shell necklave from there that I never wore.

Was that a deal breaker?
No, it wasn’t?

What was?
It was just bad from the start.

Do you still keep in touch?
No, he’s going to Northwestern, he’s gonna be a surgeon.

Are you going to Shock Your Mom?
No. Shock Your Mom’s probably the worst party at Kenyon.

If you were, what would you dress as?
Probably a housewife.

Any words of advice for all those non-celebs out there?
Stop yelling in Peirce, and pick up litter. Wait, that’s too bitter. Erase that! Go swim in the KAC pool often.
