Ever since I found out they were making a Harry Potter version of "Pokemon GO!" nearly 2 years ago I have been dying to play it. Niantic did an amazing job with the Pokemon app that I knew adding wizards could only make it better. The only question I had been asking: what would it be about?

"Wizards Unite" seems to take place after Deathly Hallows and the Battle of Hogwarts, though I've seen some characters who were dead appear already. The main premise of the game is that you are looking for scattered magical people, objects, creatures - called Foundables - and returning them to the Ministry of Magic. They were stolen by a dark wizard and are protected by Confoundables that you must defeat in order to save them. You need energy for spells instead of Pokeballs and inns replace Pokestops.

But that's not all! What I'm really enjoying about "Wizards Unite" is the added greenhouses where you can get ingredients that you will need to make potions. Just like in "Pokemon GO!" potions will help you win battles, but also attract more of Foundables.

There's also more layers to the game in general. I like how there's a story to this instead of just go out and find stuff. There's also more you can do with your profession which is replacing the "Pokemon GO!" teams. There are challenges and more things to gain with your profession and overall in the game.

As with any new game release, there are some glitches that need to be ironed out. For example, just like with "Pokemon GO!" it is a bit slow at times (but not nearly as much as!). I also haven't been able to figure out the picture thing. There are other small little graphical details that could also be improved upon.

One thing to keep in mind as you play is that it's a brand new app. Just like before, you need to be patient as Niantic works out the glitches. There are a lot of people playing and it literally came out within the last week. Chill.

Overall, "Wizards Unite" is a huge improvement on its predecessor. I'm very impressed by everything I've seen and can't wait for them to fix the bugs and level up to see what more it has to offer.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
