An Evening "Of Greetings And Goodbyes"

My first experience seeing AFI.

An Evening "Of Greetings And Goodbyes"
Alexa Howell

There are no words to explain the feeling when I went to see AFI for the first time, February 10th in Orlando. They were joined by support acts Nothing and Souvenirs, which were both nothing short of incredible.

With a room packed with 2 thousand other people anxiously waiting, you can feel the anticipation for AFI to come on stage. As soon as the lights cut, you could hear the intro to "I Hope You Suffer" start to kick in following the members coming on stage. Then everything stopped and they went right into "Miss Murder" which was pleasantly surprising. Fun fact: "Miss Murder" was the very first song I had heard from them back in 7th grade.

They were touring in support of their new self-titled album called "AFI (The Blood Album,)" which should definitely be on your records to check out if you haven't heard it yet. The entire band had the whole audience captivated, particular the vocalist, Davey Havok, who is very theatrical.

They played roughly around 20 songs, expanding through their entire catalog with a different set each night, leaving all of us wondering what our show would be getting (my boyfriend, Andrew, is still salty about not enough crash love songs.)

This night will be unforgettable and I can only hope that I can catch them at least one more time before the year is over. If AFI is coming to a city near you, I would most definitely recommend checking them out!

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.
