Your Emo Phase Returns At Emo Nite LA

For most people, their "emo phase" is a time in their life they'd rather forget. They delete their myspace and throw away their rubber band bracelets from Hot Topic. But, for some, Emo Nite can bring back memories and a way to jam out to some of their favorite music from the 90s and 2000s.

Emo nite is for everyone. Even though it is called emo night they play other similar types of music like alternative rock, alternative pop, pop-punk, and punk. So even if you aren't a ride or die fan of emo music you can still have a good time. You will hear mainstream music you've heard a million times on the radio like Fall Out Boy, "Mr. Brightside" by the Killers and "Since U Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson.

Always, I know you'll be at my show (The Beginning)

Emo Nite began in Los Angeles by co-founders TJ Petracca, Morgan Freed and Babs Szabo. It all began in in 2014 at a birthday party attended by Petracca and Szabo when they sang a Dashboard Confessional song together at karaoke. They asked each other, "What if we could listen to this when we went out?”

Then, it turned into "Taking Back Tuesday," playing the first Tuesday of each month at the Echoplex in Echo Park. Taking Back Sunday's frontman Adam Lazzara did not enjoy the homage to his band. He told Billboard magazine, "I don’t want to become a parody of something I take real seriously. That’s the line that these people are walking... You don’t make shirts that say ‘Sad as Fuck.’ Like you’re making a fucking joke out of it? Fuck you.” That's where they got the idea for the Sad as Fuck merchandise that they sell online and at performances. As well as the balloons scattered around the venues they play that say "Sad AF."

And we'll never miss a party cause we keep them going constantly (The Future)

They then changed the name to Emo Nite and began touring all across the country but still managing to do the first Tuesday over every month in L.A. They also have a store for their company and an online shop. Also, they have just started a podcast that features bands and artists they feature at their parties.

If you're lucky one of the artists you're singing along to or other celebrities to will show up to guest DJ your show. Past guest DJ's include Neck Deep, All Time Low's Jack Barakat, My Chemical Romance's Mikey Way, members of Fidlar, Dashboard Confessional, and Machine Gun Kelly.

Dance, this is the way they'd love, If they knew how misery loved me

If you think you'd enjoy singing until your voice gives out, drinking cheap beer, dancing on stage, and listening to the music that formed who you are today I would recommend going to Emo Nite next time they stop in your city.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." 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.
