Within the walls of Texas A&M University, I think it's pretty safe to say BYX Island Party is a pretty big hit. I think it's even safer to say that 'The Band CAMINO' is an even bigger hit. What do you get when you combine the two? A dreamy Saturday night at Wolf Pen Creek Amphitheatre we're probably not going to forget anytime soon.

Before this carefully handcrafted event got started, I had the chance to sit down and talk with 'The Band CAMINO' about life, music, and what's next for these awesome guys.

I am always curious to know what the writing process looks like when more than one person is involved, so this was one of the first things I asked them.

"We definitely take individual roles I think, we all kind of write-in different capacities. Me (Jeffery) and Spencer write most of the lyrics. I probably write the most quantity of songs, not all of which get recorded, but we all take a different role and it looks different all the time. We just vibe something out and jam on it until we are like, "oh this is cool." But we're always trying to write as many songs as we can."

A new favorite question of mine to ask: If you had to use one word to describe your sound what would it be?

"Electric, heartfelt, thoughtful, cool, passionate, emotional, honest, goofy and real" are all words given to me by 'The Band CAMINO'. And I think if you've at least listened to some of their music, you can agree.

The real question I know you're all DYING to know the answer to is If they would have perfect dad bods or perfect dad jokes for the rest of your life, which one would they choose?

It was a unanimous dad joke. After what a dad bod is was explained of course.

"It's like really really upper chest looks fantastic, but once you get to the belly, it's like a man that guy's been drinking at least a 6 pack a day for the last ten years." - Spencer

I'm pretty sure this is the actual definition in Webster's Dictionary by the way.

The ACTUAL real question I know you're DYING to know the answer to: do they have any new music coming out soon?

The answer is yes, but that's all I'm allowed to say, so get pumped because anticipation is only like 7% as fun as new music is!

As for their pre-performance ritual? You'll never guess what it consists of.

"The one thing we all do as a group before we go on is we put our hands in and we all say "Kenneth," we don't really know who Kenneth is…." is the enlightening statement given to us by Jeffery.

Graham threw in, "People reading this are gonna be like aw sick what do they do…"

Jeffery continued to explain, "It's stupid, it's together, it's nonsensical, you just quit taking yourself so seriously. It sets the mood. You're not gonna be nervous if you're saying, Kenneth!"

I think I' going to start chanting "1, 2, 3, Kenneth!" every morning in the mirror to get myself hyped in the morning! In all seriousness, I truly wish these guys the best in everything because I am now way cooler of a person simply because I got to meet them. They are hilarious, I was dying laughing the whole interview and they just radiate through their genuine souls. Do yourself a favor and head over to their Spotify, or do yourself an even bigger favor and head over to their website for more concert tickets!

'THE BAND CAMINO' FOREVER!

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.
