If you can see the Big Dipper, you’ll get to see a star go nova soon

I'm certainly looking forward to seeing this. The only thing I regret is I don't have a telescope to look at it through.
you don't really need it for this, it should be naked eye visible. Its not much to look at though, there will simply be a seemingly normal, additional star visible in the Northern Crown that wasn't there before.

I think to experience it to any extent, you should just find and get some memory of the Northern Crown's appearance now, before it appears, so that you can get that "oh, look this wasn't there before" impression when it happens.
