On a Serious Note

So I'm a huge Harry Potterfan, I've read the series about five times now and I can't even count how many times of seen the movies. Of course I am and always will be the kind of person who likes the books better than the movies, but the Harry Potter movies did a pretty good job in my opinion and I still love watching them. As excited as I was about the release of "The Cursed Child" playwright, I was a bit disappointed when I finished it. I think the biggest let down to me was that it wasn't written like the previous books- considering it's a script- but I mean the language was different, the literary fluency was lacking and I feel like it's because JK Rowling didn't write it herself- she merely came up with the concept. I was let down not only by the way it was written, because it wasn't exactly a page turner, but it seemed very repetitive because it was really just about all of the what-if scenarios that occurred in the other books. Although it was intriguing to see the main characters from the first series as grown ups and to see them outside of their mischief and constant battle with Voldemort, aside from that I didn't get the same bittersweet and satisfying feeling that I still get after closing every one of the seven Harry Potter novels. I suppose I sound a bit like a critic, but I had to vent to someone about it- even if it was a blank computer screen. Although I was a bit upset after reading this new release, I'm sure the actual performance of it is breathtaking and I hope it makes its way to the U.S. in one way or another because it would be a shame to keep something that impacts the whole world secluded in just one country. Harry Potter has made history and I suppose his poor little cursed child is a part of that history now too.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
