It’s Billies first day of college and effectively, that’s going to be attention-grabbing. Center college? Wouldn’t redo that to save lots of my life. It was a nightmare the primary time and I’m pondering that it’s going to proceed to be one thing that haunts me. In any case children are vicious and nobody is aware of that greater than children. 

Roman is worked up for college. I need to name him Justin Jr, as a result of he’s a lot like his father that it’s a bit bit freaky. Roman hasn’t discovered a spot to slot in – besides together with his greatest buddy Winter. Which, BTW, Winter often is the most lovable center schooler ever. She’s optimistic, crammed with pleasure and desires nothing greater than to be type.

Justin instructs Billie that there isn’t any magic allowed in school. Everyone knows that he’s given her the identical directions a couple of occasions over and hey, it’s cute that he thinks that she’ll pay attention. Billie is an insecure preteen who’s struggling to search out her place and doesn’t know how you can be something however a wizard. Telling her that she will be able to’t be one is counterproductive. It’s simply going to make her do the issues she’s informed to not do. 

Sitting right here watching the present, I’ve to confess that I really felt unhealthy for center schoolers and excessive schoolers alike. Children are wanting down at you, attempting to let you know that you just’re not so good as they’re, and so forth. All the things is a wrestle. Billie desires to make mates, however how do you do this when you’ll be able to’t relate to anybody round you? Within the wizarding world, Billie could also be utterly regular, however within the human world she’s totally different. 

However the factor about this episode that bought me was that it actually was about friendship and being your self. You don’t should trick folks into being your buddy, all you must do is be your self. In the event that they such as you, nice. In the event that they don’t, effectively that’s okay too. Discovering your home on this planet isn’t going to be simple. 

What enjoyable would it not be if it was simple?

I believe that the enjoyment of reveals like Wizards Past Waverly Place is that you just do get a lesson, however it’s at all times a lesson that you may relate to. It doesn’t matter how outdated you might be, discovering your tribe – your home – is at all times going to be a wrestle. Much more than that it’s going to be a studying expertise.

But the whole lot is a studying expertise – regardless of how outdated you might be. Giada, as an illustration, she will get a frog at her door telling her {that a} Phantomus is on Staten Island and nobody can do magic. The factor feeds off of magic and might sense when persons are doing magic. 

Now, if a frog reveals up at my door and I’m speaking to it, personally, I’d assume I misplaced my thoughts. I wouldn’t drive the frog to my husbands work. Nope. I’d drive myself straight to the hospital and test myself in. Giada although, she’s being a VIP and he or she’s going by all of the motions. She’s not questioning it, as a substitute she’s going to be doing no matter it takes to guard her household. 

Now this phantoms thinks that the wizard is Roman and possesses him. Billie has informed Winter that she’s a wizard and Winter hasn’t believed her, till now. What I did love about Winter was that the truth that Billie was a Wizard wasn’t what impressed her. What impressed her was that she was keen to do no matter it took to save lots of Roman.

Justin manages to show this right into a lesson for Billie and the 2 of them collectively handle to banish the Phantomous. Granted Giadas purse is sacrificed, however hey, she wanted a cuter one anyhow. 

Center college is tough, we discovered that. Being your self is even more durable. However when you’re your self, issues tend to work out… finally. Just a bit life lesson.

OTHER THOUGHTS
