The 10 Stages Of Celebrating "Harry Potter And The Cursed Child" Being Published

Potterheads rejoice! On Wed. Feb. 10, some of the best news ever was announced. Scholastic released a statement that it would be publishing the script for J.K. Rowling's new play, "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child." The play is based on the magical Wizarding World we all came to love through the "Harry Potter" series. The play is set to hit the stage in London's West End this summer.

When the play was first announced, Scholastic released a press release:

“It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband, and father of three school-age children. While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes darkness comes from unexpected places.”

Naturally, Potterheads (like myself) were very excited about the script being published. Here are some reactions many of us had to the news.

1. First, you were sad you were going to miss the play.

Flying to London just isn't practical, is it?

2. Then, you were shocked the script was being published.

Is this too good to be true? Are we really so lucky to get more "Harry Potter" related material?

3. But it's true and you couldn't be more excited.

The anticipation is killing me.

4. The release date is the same day as Harry and J.K.'s birthday, July 31.

Ugh, it's just so cute and perfect.

5. Then, you realize July is far away.

Why must you make us wait so long, J.K.?!

6. You feel your patience being tested.

I just want to read it right now.

7. But then you remember J.K. is giving you the gift of the script and it's all good.

It's truly a magical gift.

8. You're so ready to know everything about the play.

I need to know now.

9. You're already preparing for your social life to be dead once the script is released.

Finishing the book is the most important task at the moment.

10. But most of all, you're excited to return at last to the Wizarding World.

We've missed you so much Harry, Hermione and Ron. Welcome back.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

You can't just go to your room to take a nap in the middle of your classes.

Having to spend all your extra cash on gas for your car.

Speaking of money, you probably don't have a meal plan so you're forced to scrounge up some change or mooch off of your friends.

It can be harder to maintain the friendships you make with people from class.

Finding a parking spot.

It can be harder to be involved on campus because between your one, two, or three jobs and school you don't have much free time.

When you try to be super involved on campus, it can kill your sleep schedule.

It's impossible to do homework at home, but staying on campus isn't an option sometimes.

There are surveys and events that you can't participate in because you're a commuter.

Group projects are the bane of your existence.

Traffic.

Your backpack rivals that of a survivalist trekking in the woods.

Driving all the way to campus to find a note on the door of your classroom saying class was cancelled.
