Fifth Harmony is the only successful group to come out of the once show ‘X-Factor USA’. The group has opened for Demi Lovato and are now on their 4th headlining tour, also known as the 7/27 Tour.

The 7/27 Tour just made a stop in the Tampa Bay Area on August 25th and brought not only Fifth Harmony but also feature JoJo, Jake Miller, and Victoria Monet. Walking into the venue was very different from other shows I had been to at the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheater. It was crowded with people and the merchandise line was not complete craziness. Those signs would be considered a bad thing to the artists, the show was obviously not sold out, but for a spectator, it made the experience even more special. When I walked in I was lucky enough to not only meet Jake Miller but also JoJo, and no that was not because of a contest but because the crowd was so contained and small that they felt they could go out to radio tents or hang out at the merchandise stand.

That was just the start of a really good night and show. It all start with Victoria Monet and although she is not well known, she played up that fact. To get the crowd going and get them interacting she sang covers of Ariana Grande’s most recent singles, "Be Alright and Let Me Love You", even bringing out a member of Fifth Harmony Dinah Hansen to sing with her. The next act up was Jake Miller, he is a Florida native who just recently signed a record deal. Jake was only on the tour for the Florida shows and he brought in a lot of his own fan base to the show. His songs were catchy and even though I had not heard most of his music before I found myself singing along to the chorus of almost every song. JoJo was up next and the 13-year-old me was incredibly excited for her, I had the chance to see her 4 years ago and she has blossomed musically since then. From "Too Little Too Late" to her new single "Mad Love" from her upcoming album everyone was up and dancing along with her. Not only was her performance sensational she was so humble and sweet when meeting with her fans, making sure to thank all of them for coming and even complimenting some of them on their makeup, etc.

To close the night was of course Fifth Harmony and they not only named this tour perfectly but also themed it to make it a play on words. 7/27 is not only a plane, but it is also the day that Fifth Harmony was formed on "X-Factor". They made the whole show into a journey, using their outfits as well as videos in-between songs to add to the story of the journey. The beginning video showed their beginning on "X-Factor" to them winning "X-Factor" but each video was also set up to be like the announcements made on flights by flight attendants. The girls were also dressed up for most of the show like pilots. But the show was not just good because of the theme or the videos, this group can put on a show and they can sing. They made sure to use every aspect of the stage running from one end to the other, and even dancing in sync at moments.

I have been to many concerts and I have seen both Fifth Harmony and JoJo before but these artists have grown and their music and performances have grown with them. The show really was a journey and once we got to our “destination” I was very satisfied with the ride.

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.
