Go Forth and Read "The Cursed Child"

We've only waited 9 years for this moment

Go Forth and Read "The Cursed Child"
Pottermore

So many brilliant things have happened over the last few months that have Harry Potter fans leaping for joy. We had the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park opening in California, new Pottermore material on the North American wizarding school, and preparation for a play and a new film.

But it finally happened, the "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" screenplay has been released! If you haven't already done so, throw on your cloaks, grab your wands and go forth and grab a copy of the screenplay. Here is what you'll find while waiting in line at the bookstore.

1. Wands and Cloaks

You'll probably see more adults with wands than children.

2. The pre order club

Ugh, why must I stand in line with the common muggles when I had the sense to reserve my copy!

3. Children who know nothing about waiting

"The Deathly Hallows" was published in 2007! We've been waiting nine years for this moment and we might have gone a little crazy!

4. You get your copy

It finally happened! The book is in your hands and you're ready to scream, faint and cry with pure joy.

5. *For the book nerds

You take a moment to appreciate the binding, the smooth pages and cover art. Then you take a euphoric whiff of that beautiful unsullied print.

6. Binge Read

You can't wait until you get home so you read it on the commute whether it's walking, driving or the bus! (If it's driving be sure to get yourself a good designated driver. Maybe one that owes you for the times that you had to drive them home when they were in a drunken stupor)

7. Some one walks in and says "You're still reading those books?"

Bursts in to tears, screams, sighs etc. The emotional response may vary, but the words remain the same. "Always."

8. You finish the book and aren't sure what to do next

Read it again, it's never too soon. Watch the movies or start from the beginning.

9. I solemnly swear to keep secrets

JK Rowling asks her fans not to spoil the plot of the story for new readers, and we will obey.

10. Plan a trip

"The Cursed Child" play will be performed at the Palace Theater in London, so book a flight and get your tickets while you can.

11. The magic continues

The next film, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," will be released in November, which gives us plenty of time to binge read the books and watch the movies as we wait with impatient anticipation.

The Post Thanksgiving Panic And Anxiety

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Grey's Anatomy

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.
