5 Fun Facts About The Grammys
tv week

I really enjoy watching these award shows, whether it is the Grammys, the Tony Awards, or the Peoples Choice Awards or the Oscars. I enjoy watching them because I like watching the Tony Awards because it is a way for me to see which Broadway show I want to see next. This Sunday is the 59th annual Grammy Awards.

I always enjoy watching the Grammys because some of the songs and artists that are nominated I really enjoy listening too. Lukas Graham with his song 7 years, Drake and his song Hotline Bling, Adele and her song Hello are examples of my favorite artists who were nominates. It is so cool to see that a few Broadway shows that are up for a Grammy, such as a show that I got tickets to see in March called Waitress. I just also enjoy watching these types of shows for fun. I can discover new songs and artist that I would like to start listening to. As of right now, my main go to music would include music from Broadway shows that I have seen in the past and I have really enjoyed. Another thing about the Grammys are the performers. Some of the performers that are performing at the awards are John Legend, Metallica, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, Adele, and Bruno Mars. This year's host is James Corden

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.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better.

But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
