Celebrating 5 Years Of 5SOS
Ashley Chiappetta

Five years ago, on December 3, 2011, 5 Seconds of Summer was born. On that day, they played their first gig together as a band and since then they have been making history. Four little lads from Australia had no idea what was to come and looking back on everything they have accomplished since 2011, I couldn't be more proud.

From starting out by posting videos on YouTube to being discovered by One Direction's Louis Tomlinson, to world tours, hit songs, number one albums and numerous awards, 5SOS has truly taken the music world by storm. What started as a small band in Sydney, Australia soon grew to be a worldwide phenomenon.

So to the four boys who continue to rock: thank you. Thank you for everything you have done for your music and fans in the last five years. Thank you for creating meaningful music that can sometimes be really deep or just super fun to jam to. Thank you for touring all across the world so your fans have the chance to experience your music and crazy fun personalities live. Thank you for being the reason I love live music and concerts. You have brought me so many adventures, the love of traveling to see a show, and have helped me connect with so many people.

Every 5SOS show I have been to has been my favorite. Each time I go I think there's no way it can beat the last one, but it does. You guys continue to improve and play a hell of a set. Thank you for giving it your all and pouring your heart and passion into what you do. It's inspiring to watch and so cool to follow your journey.

Even on the fifth birthday of their band, 5SOS gave back to the fans in every way they could've wanted. They released "This Is Everything We Ever Said," a collection of B-Sides and Rarities of their old songs that many have downloaded from YouTube but never had a solid studio version of. The collection of songs is now available for streaming on sites like Spotify. Click here to have a listen.

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.
