5 Reasons To See 'Fantastic Beasts'

Only J.K. Rowling could make a movie based off of a textbook look this good.

5 Reasons To See 'Fantastic Beasts'
Coming Soon

It's been over five years since our last glimpse into J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World, but that changed when Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was released last Friday.

As an avid Harry Potter fan, I just had to see it within the first week of its premiere, and I fell in love with the magic (and a new character or two) all over again. To share my admiration for the movie, I've complied a list of five reasons you should go see the movie.

1. It’s the long awaited continuation of the wizarding world that stole our hearts.

Don't tell me you didn't miss the magic and mischief of Rowling's characters.

2. Newt Scamander is a whole lot of British, lanky, smart, and subsequently adorable (aka everything you could ask for in a guy).

I fell for Newt within the first ten minutes, and I'm not even ashamed.

3. The beasts are indeed FANTASTIC.

They all bring their own unique characteristics to the movie, but my personal favorite is the little green Bowtruckle that stands on Newt's shoulders (maybe because I secretly wish I was him).

4. Two words: amazing cinematography.

The creatures, the spells, and the home inside of Newt's suitcase are just a few of the cinematographic elements that

5. There’s no reason not to go see it.

Don't try to deny it. With action, a touch of romance, great visuals, and a snarky main character, Fantastic Beasts leaves nothing to the imagination. It's this year's must-see.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
