On April 10, 2018, Bastille began their Reorchestrated Tour. This tour, which centered around the idea of taking their classic indie-pop music and mashing it with a choir and orchestra, was a bit of a gamble, but it quickly paid off. Almost immediately the entire tour, which was just a short eight stops across Europe and featured To Kill a King and Charlie Barnes as openers, sold out!

Since news broke that the tour sold out, there have been rumors that they would bring the tour to the United States as well. However, the full tour has now officially ended, and there is still no news of an American tour. Which is sad, because we NEED an American tour! It would be INCREDIBLE!

If you aren't completely convinced, here are twelve reasons Bastille should bring the Reorchestrated Tour to the US


1. It’s Time For Another Bastille Tour!

Okay, this one is really just me being selfish. I am SO READY to see them live again! It's been almost a year!


2. It’s a Beautiful Reimagining of All of Their Best Songs

Okay, maybe not all the BEST ones - they didn't play "The Driver," and we still don't know what has happened to "Grip," but they play all of their beloved classics like "Bad Blood" and "Glory." Songs that would sound incredible at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN...


3. But They’re Still the Songs We Know and Love

Listen to that gorgeous version of "Pompeii!" I NEED to be able to hear this in person!!

4. The Joy of Watching Dan Smith Forget His Own Lyrics

It's precious and adorable, and witnessing Dan forget the lyrics to a song in person is kind of part of the Stormer Bucketlist,


5. It Might Be the Only Way U.S. Fans Can See To Kill A King Live

Unfortunately, they aren't super popular here (which is a shame, because they're incredible), so they generally don't tour in the U.S. unless they're with Bastille!


6. Same With Charlie Barnes!

Charlie is so incredibly talented, and I NEED to see him live!!


7. “Choices”

This song is easily one of To Kill A King's best, but it's even better live! Adding Dan Smith and Charlie Barnes to it just makes it even more magical! Everyone deserves a chance to experience this magic live!


8. Annie Oakley Hanging

Fans have been waiting for the almost-mythical side project of Dan Smith and Ralph Pelleymounter to finally officially release something. Technically, there's still no album or single, BUT they finally sang one of their songs live! It would be incredible to actually be able to witness it in person...


9. Dan’s Adorable Dancing

Honestly, Dan's dancing and hopping is the highlight of any tour they do!


10. Charlie's Dancing, Too!

You have not LIVED until you've watched Charlie Barnes sing and dance onstage!


11. All the Amazing New Content on Social Media

We need more spinny videos. It's just a fact. And another tour means more spinny videos...


12. They All Seem So Happy On This Tour Together, and the First One Was Just Too Short

Just look at how happy they all are! They are like this in every picture and/or video from this tour! Bastille, To Kill a King, and Charlie Barnes should always tour together!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
