atcofficial

Against the Current, or ATC, is a small band out of Poughkeepsie, New York. If you're from Jersey, like I am, then you'll be happy to know that the lead singer, Chrissy Costanza, of this pop-rock band is right out of our little state.

Against the Current started back in 2011. The group was formed between Dan Gow and Will Ferri, the band's guitarist and drummer respectively. Chrissy Costanza joined the band the same summer, convinced to join by her late friend Julius.

Against the Current's career started on Youtube, doing cover songs with Alex Goot, Kurt Hugo Schneider, Sam Tsui, and other noteworthy names.

The band released their first original, non-album single, Thinking, in 2012.

The first EP, Infinity, came out mid 2014. It landed at 28 on the US Heat's "Top Heatseekers" chart.

The first headlining world tour for Against the Current came with the release of their full album, Gravity. The ablum landed at 4th on US Heat's charts.

Currently, Against the Current is on tour for their second album, In Our Bones. If you want to hear music from Kerrang's "2016 Hottest Band," you're in luck, tickets for their North American tour went on sale September 15th. The tour starts in Pittsburgh, November 15th.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
