Heartwarming Sights You're Guaranteed To See At Every Con

It's more than just a giant nerd fest (even though that is most of it).

I spent this past weekend at Heroes Con in Charlotte. It was the first big con I've visited, and I had a blast. The whole experience was amazing, and it was even more special since I got to go with some or my friend from college. There were many things that I saw at this con, some in particular that warmed my heart.

First, there was the demographic. There were people of all ages and from all walks of life at the Charlotte Convention Center.


It was amazing to see everyone from newborns to senior citizens there. It seems your never too old, or young, to express your love for your favorite fictional characters.Next, there were kids taking pictures with their favorite characters.


Cons are places you can go and feel at home with the people there. You can run up to total strangers who'll be more than happy to take a picture with you. Parents even feel comfortable letting their children approach strangers because they know they'll be OK. With all the craziness going on in the world, it's nice to know that there are some places people can meet up with people to have fun and nerd out with each other.

Finally, I saw amazingly talented artists displaying and selling their work.

(This was a commission an artist named Jet Taylor did for me. You can check out more of her art here.)

It was awesome to see pieces from young and old artists. To see hours of hard work, precision and attention to detail come to life in the form of a gorgeous painting or realistic sketch is an incredible sight to behold. Especially during a time when art isn't fully appreciated, it was refreshing to see so much beauty in one place.

These are just a few things I witnessed at this con, and I'm sure you can find these at other cons, too. Since this weekend, I now want to attnd as many cons as possible to experience these feelings and sights again (and meet my favorite voice actors at some point).

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.
