What It's Like Being A Potterhead Today

For me, it all started in fourth grade when I began to read Harry Potter. I read the second book first because someone checked out the first one, and I just couldn't wait. For some, they start reading it later, and now for some, the Harry Potter generation are reading it as a bedtime story for their children. Thanks to the beautifully done illustrated children's book edition of the Sorcerer's Stone, young children can read it.


As a Potterhead, I'm so excited for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. I'm sure Eddie Redmayne is going to do a fantastic job as Newt Scamander since he nabbed the latest Oscar win for Best Actor. I'm really interested in seeing what the plot is and what the wizarding world is like in America. I'm not the biggest fan of "No-Maj", but I'm really interested in seeing the other aspects. Will they show a quidditch team? (If they do, real life quidditch teams should take note of plays haha.) Do American wizards stand out among "No-Majs" like the wizards in Harry Potter? Do they drink butterbeer too? There's so many questions that I can't wait to see if they'll be answered.

I'm also excited for the play, and I would love to go see it in London. I'm really hoping that they bring the play to America because millions of fans in America don't have the funds to travel across the Atlantic to go see it, myself included. Will the original cast members reprise their roles?

It's so awesome to see the world of Harry Potter expanding after the end of the books and movies. It seems like the wizarding world is growing in some way every day, and people of all ages are going to be in line waiting for the new movie and play. You best believe that I'll be in the line of the midnight premiere. Because of the characters, the wizarding world, and J.K. Rowling's wonderful story telling abilities, Harry Potter will forever live on, and for Potterheads, Hogwarts will always be our home.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
