In the last three years since I’ve been in college, I joined one of the coolest sports- Quidditch. Yes, it’s the sport from harry potter… except played on the ground. Muggle version.
I can’t quite explain the full game without taking up pages of space but simply watch the video and be intrigued.
Emerson College Quidditch organized a Quidditch Championship series at the end of April in Boston and had teams from all over the US come to compete. It was a brilliantly planned tournament, good quidditch playing all around and solid bonding with other players throughout the weekend.

Can you find me on the pitch?
