7 Feelings Fantastic Beasts Gave Us

In 2011 I never dreamed that I would be back at the cinema in just a few years watching another Harry Potter installment. If someone told 2011 me that in 2016 Harry Potter would be big again I more than definitely would not have believed them, I would've thought them cruel for teasing me so, yet here we are. This is exactly how it felt to watch Fantastic Beasts as a life long Harry Potter fan:

1. Surreal

Walking into the theatre knowing I was about to watch a movie about the wizarding world certainly didn't feel real at first. To go to a premiere again, to be among the people who feel the same way. It was nothing short of surreal.

2. Nostalgic

When the WB logo showed up on screen I started crying, my heart felt too big for my chest and it felt like I was transported back to the past again. Seeing that on the big screen for the first time in years, knowing it was new content to become enthralled with, it just made me feel so nostalgic all over.

3. Awe-inspiring

The movie itself was so breathtaking, as usual. The effects, the acting. I would go far enough to say it was better than the other movies (that's because movies can never be better than the books). The visuals and endless ideas left me awestruck.

4. Meaningful

Harry Potter always comes with meaningful life lessons, so don't think for a second this installment didn't. It was great to be able to find those meaningful moments and really take them into my heart.

5. Heart warming

The characters, the story, the fantastic beasts...all of it was so heart warming in different places, just like Harry Potter stories are supposed to be.

6. Magical

I wouldn't ever leave this one out. It did feel magical, it totally does feel magical because it's Harry Potter and it's the universe all of us fans crave to continuously learn more about. There were the moments that were heart warming, or awe-inspiring, and there were the moments that were just plain magical. Those are the moments that make being a fan so worth it.

7. Home

Finally, watching this movie felt a lot like coming home to Hogwarts, to the wizarding world...it was like coming home. I've always said Hogwarts is my home, and I mean it. And even if the film doesn't take place at Hogwarts, it didn't make it feel any different. So I laughed and cried and now I can't wait for the next one. 2011 me is so happy right now, 2016 me is too!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
