On a Serious Note

Almost 500 Words to HP Fans

So I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, 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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
