10 Fantastic Beasts Everyone Will Love
ComicBook

A few weeks ago the magic came alive again in the wizarding world when "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" came out. In the movie, we follow around Newt Scamander as he enters New York with his magical suitcase filled with beasts from the wizarding world of wonder. A few minutes after being in the city, his case is taken and opened and some of the beasts get out and we have to follow him and his fellow No-maj, Jacob, as the try to get them back in the case before they expose the magic world. My favorite part about this movie is getting to see these beasts I've read about come alive. I'm going to share my top favorite beasts from both the movie and book and even some we've seen in the "Harry Potter" series.

1. Ukrainian IronBelly

We don't see him in "Fantastic Beasts", but we do see one in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two" in Gringotts Bank. Newt does tell Jacob that during World War II he was working with the Ironbelly dragon.

2. Unicorn

Who doesn't love unicorns? Again, we don't see them in the movie with Newt, but we see one (dead) in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" when He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was feeding on them to stay alive. On a brighter side of facts, did you know when unicorns are born they are born pure gold in color?

3. Hippocampus

This creature is one talked about in the book "Fantastic Beast And Where To Find Them." Think horse meets mermaid; really just an oversized seahorse.

4. Phoenix

We are introduced to Fawkes in "Harry Potter and the Chamber Of Secrets." A Phoenix burns up when it dies and it is reborn from the ashes.

5. Fwooper

Fwooper, is a creature that can be found in Newt's suitcase. You can also see a picture of a fwooper in one of the windows of the shop in Diagon Alley; they are like really fluffy owls and are very bright in color!

6. MoonCalf

In the movie, we get to see these cute little guys come out when Jacob starts to feed them under the light of a full moon, under which these little guys love to dance. Look how cute!

7. Occamy

We see these adorable creatures a few times in the movie, in both their small size laying next to their silver eggs and then in a huge form in which the creature can be up to 15 feet in height.

8. BowTruckle

My boyfriend calls him a little Groot and I can kinda see this. Newt carries one around in his coat pocket. The little guy doesn't like to be anywhere else but with Newt. I love the little sass this guy has.

9. Swooping Evil


Swooping Evil is kinda like a big old butterfly that comes out from like a small little cocoon. Newt uses this creature a few times for help in the movie when he gets in a tough spot. I love the colors on the cool creature.

10. Niffler

I saved my top favorite creature for last, niffler! I love this little fluffy booger butt! He is attracted to shiny things, much like myself. He is also so cute and causes so much trouble for Newt by wreaking lots of things. I would love to have one of these for myself.

Needless to say, my top favorite beasts are all cute, pretty and fluffy and very colorful! I can't wait to see if we get more creatures in the next few movies!

10 Things Only Equestrians Understand

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.
