4 Ways To Prove You're A Dedicated Fan

Fans. They come in all shapes and sizes. Whether you're a Whovian, Trekkie, or an EXO-L; you dedicate a good chunk of your life for that very thing. If it's music, comic books, television shows, you as the fan make sure you know every little detail. When it comes to me, if you didn't know from my various posts thus far, I'm into the K-Pop scene.

Recently, I had the absolute pleasure of seeing the very band that got me into K-Pop this past weekend for the second time. I was struggling trying to figure out what article idea I could do and then it hit me. Why don't I do a few reasons showing why some people, including myself are dedicated fans when it comes to bands.

Without further adieu!


1. Being first to buy tickets.

Buying tickets for ANYTHING is stressful. I had got up early for these tickets to go on sale and let me tell you, it was stressful. It was like the Hunger Games for tickets. Especially since EVERYONE wanted P1 tickets; which is the photo op. I was lucky enough to get the second meet and greet opportunity since I KNEW I wasn't going to get the first one.

2. Being first in Line For the Show; Otherwise, you're standing in line.

At the fan meeting I went to this past Sunday, I had planned on standing in line. I had done it before when I saw them last year. The only difference between the two times though was that the second time, I had come prepared. I knew it was going to rain, so I had an umbrella. I dressed for the weather. I even brought a snack. There was someone I knew that was there a DAY before the show. That's dedication. Plus, she got to be upfront.

3. Knowing EVERY. SINGLE. DETAIL about them.

When you find that special band or even a television show you just got into, you have to know every single detail about it. For instance, I know that one of the members from the band has the same blood type as me. Is that creepy? Yes, but when they do profiles of each member in Korea for these idol groups, it's added into the their profile, so you know. So, in a way, it's not creepy.

4. Being "somewhat" of a stalker.

Okay, this one isn't me. And let me explain. Stalking is illegal. Don't do it. Remember that band I told you about? Yeah, so when they fly to a new city whether they're in Korea going to Japan or recently flying from Houston to Los Angeles, there are always fans waiting for them at the airport. Most of the time, it's harmless and they're taping the band saying, "Have a safe flight!" or "Have fun in such and such city!" But sometimes, and usually it's when they're going to another Asian country, the fans are just TOO CLOSE. In fact, their agency as a blacklist of people that know not to get too close. That's how bad it is.


There are PLENTY of other things that determine how much of a dedicated fan you are through trivia, watching movies more than one, even reading fan fiction! The point is, you're a fan boy/ fan girl for a reason and NO ONE can take that away from you!

Shout out to GOT7 (@GOT7Officila on Twitter) for ALMOST finishing their fan meeting tour in the United States! Please come back soon, once you finish your next comeback! Love, an I GOT7!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
