Though her reps are denying the rumors that Watson is leaving Brown because of bullying from fellow students, it has been nonetheless confirmed that the Harry Potter star has ended her tenure as a Brown student and is transferring elsewhere.

Where? We don’t know that yet.

In a statement released on her website, Watson writes,

“As you know, I love Brown and I love studying pretty much more than anything but recently I’ve had so much to juggle that being a student and fulfilling my other commitments has become a little impossible. I’ve decided to take a bit of time off to completely finish my work on Harry Potter… I will still be working towards my degree… it’s just going to take me a semester or two longer than I thought.”

We can definitely empathize with the work overload thing, and we aren’t movie stars! We wonder if she’ll be wearing Crimson any time soon.

Thanks to major corporate shoe conglomerates, intellectual masturbation at the nation’s top schools just got even easier.

Later this January, the shoe brand New Balance launches a new “Ivy League” collection of its H710 styles, with sneaker options for each of Hahvahd, Princeton, Columbia, Dartmouth, the University of Pennsylvania, and Brown. Notice anything missing from that list? Oh yeah, Yale and Cornell – obvs not elite enough to roll with us real Ivy Leaguers.

So, in case any of us forgets for even a second how Uniquely Smart And Special we are to attend The Undisputed Best University Among the Undisputed Larger Collection of Best Universities in the World, we need only look at our footwear.

GUYS CHECK OUT MY SHOES I GO TO HARVARD

Everyone at the Harvard-Brown football game was there for one reason, and one reason only: to see Emma Watson. However, sightings were rare and Harvardians openly speculated that she wasn’t actually in attendance. We would like to set the record straight. She was there, we saw her, we photographed, and here’s the proof. Take that!

Emma, we love you!

Note from the Editor: There seems to be much ado about nothing over this photo and liveblog. Understand that these live tweets were made to be intentionally outrageous and overblown. As for the photo, it was taken on happenstance — one of our photographers happened to leave the game at the same time as Emma and snapped a quick photo. (September 27, 1:47AM)
