SPOILER WARNING!

I've always been a Harry Potter fan, and the chance to see the Harry Potter universe brought to life on screen again was a dream come true, so when I heard that Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was a reality, I couldn't be happier. I saw it on January 1st and I have to say, it was amazing.

The references to Hogwarts and the history of the Harry Potter universe were amazing, and there were constant laughs. It's fairly safe to say that Newt Scamander stole my heart. His derpy, awkward humor had me smiling the entire time, and the love story between Jacob and Queenie was so precious.

It seemed to me that it was a bit obvious that Graves would end up being Grindlewald, but other than that, the movie wasn't that predictable. What did surprise me was that the obscurial turned out to be Credence. I thought for sure that it was the little girl.

I was also surprised that the movie didn't focus as much on the magical creatures as I thought it would. They seemed to be minor compared to the obscurial and discovering who it was.

Overall though, I loved the movie. It was hilarious on certain parts and a little sad in others. I can't wait to see what's in store for the next installment of this movie series.

I will say one thing though, I you haven't read or watched the original Harry Potter series, you're going to be completely lost as to what's going on in the movie. If you want to see it, I highly encourage it, just catch up on the original series first.

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.
