Over the past week I went to the theater and watched "Fantastic Beats and Where to Find Them." I promise no spoilers within this article, and I recommend watching the movie. It is a different movie than the Harry Potter series, but still manages to have that same magic. Particularly, the main character helps creates a new environment full of new types of magic. Thus I present, 7 reasons why we all love Newt Scamander.

1. Hufflepuff represent

Newt's a Hufflepuff, and up until this point we haven't received a lot of main characters coming from the Hufflepuff house, so he's kinda a big deal.

2. He was expelled from Hogwarts

Who can't help but love a bad guy? (Even when it creates a plot hole)

3. Compassion about animals

Okay so I do not know if magical beasts falls into the category of "animal" but either way Scamanders enthusiasm is certainly admirable

4. Quirkiness

We have sat through eight films of watching the courageous Harry, Hermoine, and Ron, so it's nice to finally see a protagonist who is just as quirky as the rest of us.

5. Keeps Us Guessing

So far, we only know a little bit about Scamander. We know he went to Hogwarts, was expelled, and wrote "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" but other than that, we don't know anything else. Storylines introduced in the movie clue us in about our main character and will keep us guessing about his past.

6. Science!

According to Pottermore he is a magizoologist, so while the movie doesn't exactly focus on the biology of the beasts, I am still excited to have a story starring a scientist.

7. Creative

Personally I would never think of expanding a suitcase to house beasts, so props to Newt for being creative!

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.
