J.K. Rowling Announces Plans For A New Children's Book

On July 21, 2007, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was released to the public, selling 6.9 million copies in the U.S. within the first 24 hours of its release, making it the fastest selling book ever according to the record it still held in 2012. Following the November 2010 premiere of the first half of the final movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 premiered on July 15, 2011. During opening weekend alone, the film earned $483.2 million in the box-office, making it the seventh highest grossing film of all time.

Harry Potter is more than just "the boy who lived", he's the boy who befriended a generation.

Beloved by many, the Harry Potter series was J.K. Rowling's crowning achievement and her light out of depression. Rowling opened her incredible mind and poured it onto pages that so many have read to themselves and to those they love. Many "grew up with" Harry and his world of wonder and magic, and equally as many were devastated when J.K Rowling announced the finale of both the book series, and the films.

But fans of the great author can stand and rejoice once more, because Rowling has announced her plans for a new children's book. She told the BBC, "I have written part of a children's book that I really love, so there will be another children's book."

Don't get too excited. It's not an eighth Harry Potter book, and there's little detail on the synopsis of the story itself, but a children's book for Rowling is more than most have dreamed of for the last few years! The author has been focusing her career on her adult novels such as The Casual Vacancy and Career of Evil since the culmination of her first children's series about the boy who lived.

With great success, it looks like Rowling is headed full-throttle back into the magical realm she created not so long ago. As well as the plans for a new children's series, the author is writing for the film adaptation Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which is set to premiere November 18, 2016, as well as working on the play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which is said to be premiering at the Palace Theatre in London this coming summer.

It seems us Potter fans are having our childhood heartstrings being pulled in every direction with J.K. Rowling's announcements lately! Here's to a new world from Rowling, and new memories to come from the original. Godspeed, Jo!

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.
