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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
