For all the uninformed Potterheads out there, there's a new app available in the App Store called "Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery." It's an RPG app where you get to navigate your way through your years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, solving mysteries and going to classes, making friends all over the place. There's a lot going on, but here are the best and worst parts of "Hogwarts Mystery."

1. YOU get to got to HOGWARTS!

For the first time ever, YOU get to go to Hogwarts. You can do to class and make friends and you don't have to imagine it! It's real! You can get sorted into your house, fight for the House Cup and gain skills through different activities.

2. Your prefect kinda sucks

Even if you're earning more House Points than ANYONE, your prefect will constantly say that you're not doing enough and you're letting your house down.

3. You get to meet the characters you know and love

From Bill Weasley to Albus Dumbledore, you get to meet your favorite professors and students who attended Hogwarts before Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

4. ENERGY!!!

Sometimes you'll be in the middle of a class or a quest, trying to get enough stars to finish each activity but then you RUN OUT OF ENERGY! It's so frustrating and it takes four minutes to gain them back.

5. You get to explore the sights

If you're like me and have always wanted to wander around Hogwarts, then definitely get this app. You can eat in the Great Hall, walk through the Quidditch pitch, and go to Potions in the dungeon.

Even with the negatives, if you're patient, the game is lots of fun. For more information or to download, visit the game's site!

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.
