" Harry Potter" fans unite and raise your wands you put away in 2011. Our time has come again.

If you haven't heard the joyous news, there is going to be a prequel/spin-off to "Harry Potter" relating to a particular book Harry Potter picked up and read in the first book of the series, "The Sorcerer's Stone." J.K. Rowling actually made this fictional book into a real book and published it in 2001 as Harry's copy, having comments and side notes made by the whole gang, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger included. Of course, she could only make it as realistic as possible, so you don't have the almost impossible -- to close the covers and have the beasts snap out at you whenever they want out.

It was actually announced in 2013 that this movie was going to be made, but the hype died down until now when more trailers started being released.

But it doesn't end there, folks. It has been confirmed that this will be the first of three movies. This was almost enough to cheer me up after I deduced that it is not in my financial budget to hop on a plane to Europe and see "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child." The first part of it is released on Nov. 18, 2016. The second part will be released in 2018, and the third in 2020. How crazy it is to think that the childhood memories we all carried from grade school will still be playing out well after we graduate from college.

Keeping true to the originals, "Hedwig's Theme" is played at the beginning in a hauntingly good way that gives fans everywhere chills and goosebumps. Warner Bros. still has the distorted logo we have all come to associate with "Harry Potter," and the magic is still there.

It appears that Albus Dumbledore will be back kicking in this movie. How we have missed him since the "Half-Blood Prince"! Oh, and Ezra Miller is part of the cast. Enough said.

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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. 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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
