Thoughts For 'Harry Potter' Weekend

As told through Muggles and Wizards

Thoughts For 'Harry Potter' Weekend
Observation Deck

Free Form (formerly known as ABC Family) has had the knack for "Harry Potter" in that every weekend that is remotely celebratory. When that happens the world of Free Form viewers split into two groups of peoples: Muggles and Wizards. Those clearly muggles have major problems with the "apparent obsession" with "that one kid with glasses" or whatever. And wizards bow down to Free Form who is actually the best. Thoughts go something like this...

Day 1

Muggles: This, again. Like seriously, didn't we just have a "Harry Potter" weekend last week? When am I going to be able to turn on the TV and be able to just not see those three meddling kids. Like they seriously cannot go a single movie without almost dying. All for what? The one kid who almost died as a baby and then is hated by the no-nose guy?

Wizards: Welp. There goes my life. This weekend will be packed hour by hour with the greatest saga ever turned into movies. There's almost no time for sleep. And snacks will be strictly limited to what I can bring to the couch during the credits. And don't even remind me about homework. It's not going to get done. Just accept that now because once it starts, there's no time for a breakdown.

Day 2

Muggles: No, WHY are the same movies playing over again. It's like they don't even have to try for the weekend to do their jobs. The channel is purely lazy. Also, they just assume that everyone likes these movies, what about what I want. And does it have to be all weekend? Can't we get a break?

Wizards: Let's do this. Today I will focus on trying to catch things I didn't see in yesterday's showings of the movies. Plus today there is going to be a movie that they didn't play yesterday. And we've gotta prepare ourselves for tomorrow, because they'll play the ending and all the emotions will come. It's bad enough trying to reign in the feels for the endings of movies four through six. But seven part two is just going to kill us, so gotta just mentally prepare for a breakdown.

Day 3

Muggles: Honestly, a third day? I don't know why I bother turning on the TV anymore.

Wizards: Okay. Today's the last day. Maybe I can just have the TV on and still do some homework. Nope? Okay, that's fine, we've already accepted that. Today's about trying to catch things in the later movies. Little clues that lead up to "The Deathly Hallows" parts one and two. We'll just have to play catch up this week, because nothing is more important than making sure you know every hidden clue in every movie that gives secrets about "The Deathly Hallows." And let's not forget that by the end of Day 3, we'll get to enjoy the two parts again and maybe end up crying ourselves to sleep, but this is what we live for, so let's do this.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

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

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.

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!
