If I had a magic wand I would call up my friend Harry Potter.
That sounds fun! How do you know Harry Potter? I would use it to ace all my classes and get perfect scores on all the tests. Then I would use it to make food for me.
That's such a better idea!
I know! Classes are hard! I wish the homework would just do itself sometimes! And food is never a bad idea.
I know Harry Potter from school. We work on chemistry labs together.
Ever. NO WAY.
I hate homework. Yeah. He does most of the work. He's a lot faster than I am.
Why not just ask him to zap your homework done for you? I bet he would do it if you asked nicely.
I should do that! I never thought of that! But I don't want to be a nuisance...
I'm telling you it's a good idea. He already finished his "save the world" career. He probably has a lot of free time on his hands right now. I would do it. What chemistry class are you in right now?
I should ask him. I'm in the 500 chemistry lab class. It's really hard. We make spells all the time.
Oh wow? So what's your major? Chemical Engineering? What do you make in the class besides spells?
I actually major in electrical engineering. You? I make failed test grades.
Why are you in a chemistry lab for electrical engineering? I'm an exercise science major. Pre dental to be exact. Haha I would think you would make bombs or someting. something.
I'm not actually taking chemistry.
So this whole thing was a lie!?!?!?
Bombs would be cool to make but security wouldn't be very happy. No, no, no.
No they would not. They would probably arrest you.
It was just a joke.
And send you to Askaban.
Not a lie. I escaped from Azkaban.
Well, Food Is Life. Joking is basically lying.
They put us there in the lab and we had to get home. It took me 7 years!
Wow! So when was that!? You must be like 30 years old now. I'm sorry you were locked up for so long. You missed the world cup and the olympics. And you missed your chance to invest in Bitcoin. That is truly unfortunate.
Thanks for filling me in. No one has done that. I can't trust the news withers Either Did you get some bitcoin? Do you want to share?
Yeah you can't. Oh I wish! It's way too expensive now.
I'll split you fifty fifty Dang.
But if I would have known I totally would have gone in.  Oh okay! Good deal!
I wish I had known too! But it was so volitile that it was super risky.
Yeah! But all hope is not lost! We can still invest in stocks. The key is to buy and hold. It was super risky.
Yep. I'm currently buying and holding.
Oh sweet. What are your favorite stocks?
But I have tight fists. I enjoy oil company based stocks. Technology too. But I most of all favor the cheap stuff because...you know. Money They cost a ton.
Thats cool. You got a good balance of stable and fast growth. Nice strategy. Yeah they do! Google is like almost two grand!
And bitcoin is a demon. It's so wicked expensive.
It's crayzzzzzyyyyy
It's so worth it...5 years ago. If I could I would go back in time and invest in bitcoin.
Yeah like 5 years ago! What I would give to go back in time. Woah! we like read eachothers minds.
We've been on here too long haha Or we just really like money.
Never. I'm staying on here all night if I have to. Yeah we do. Who doesn't?
Are you going for the gold this time?
Totally! I'm really hoping to win the ipad for my wife.
That's awesome. She would love you. Well I hope she already does love you.
Yeah. She does calligraphy and it would be great for her to make more designs. Right now she just used paper but she is really good.
I have like zero time to put into it. That's super cool! I could use some lessons. My handwriting is terrible.
Yeah! Okay yeah she could teach you! I stink at it too. I'm just not that creative.
My brother taught himself how to write prettier by looking online at stuff and I've never taken the time. But his handwriting is really good
Yeah everything takes time. It's cool though that you can learn anything by looking online. We live in a different world than our parents did when they were growing up for sur sure. What skill do you want to learn that you would teach yourself if you had all the time in the world?
Investing. That would be the first one. The second would be...
Thats a good skill. Very useful for life haha. Have you read investopedia? Oh wait? What is the second one I wonder?
I don't know. Nutrition? No I haven't read investopedia. Maybe an article or two but that's it.
I could teach you a thing or two about nutrition. What do you want to know?
How do I lose weight? I used to be so active that I don't have time for sports any more and it's catching up on me. Not the exercise part but the eating part is the issue. I eat a lot of protein and carbohydrates.
I see. Well it starts with eating for sure. I would go to a more plant based diet with less protein (unless you work out a ton) and then I would find things during the day to be more active. For example you could take the stairs more. Or if you take the bus you could get off a stop early and walk. Nutrition wise make sure you eat whole grains. None of that white processed crap. No value in those. And then portion size is big thing too. Just eat until you aren't hungry. Not until you are stuffed.
Why is that?
The bread? The processing process removes everything that actually has nutrients and then you are just left with empty calories.
Well cool! Sorry I have to go to work! See you! And thanks for the advice!
Yeah no problem! Good luck with everything!
