Yes, yes and yes you should. Here's why:

1. The week before the show will be the BEST ever.

Every time I convinced myself it's okay to spend $25 to go see band I'm not super into anymore, I go on a music binge. For example, in October 2017 I got the chance to see Pierce the Veil. I was a huge fan of them throughout middle school and high school, but I hadn't really listened to them at that year. That is until a week before the show. I was listening to them 24/7 and all my memories of listening to them flooded my mind: when I only listened to Bulletproof Love when dude broke my heart, to when my cousins and I would scream along to King For A Day on the drive home. Reminiscing the good ole days made the show so much better.

2. 14-year-old you would be mad if you didn't.

I don't know about you but growing up going to concerts took so much planning. I had to find a way to earn money so my weeks would be spent washing as many dishes as I could so my mom would THINK about buying me a ticket. So when bands would announce a show out of the blue, I often took the L and couldn't go.

Now, as an 18-year-old with 2 part-time jobs, I have more money, therefore, I can afford to go a show if one happens to come along.

So when I can't decide if it's worth it or not I picture how mad 14-year-old, emo me would be if she heard I skipped out on seeing The Maine in their hometown.

3. Who knows? Maybe you'll fall in love with them all over again.

Call me a dork but music means a lot to me.

When I fall in love with a band that love is forever. But as time goes on and I listen to them less and less, I tend to just forget. But going to a show is like discovering a hidden treasure chest and as the band takes the stage you're flooded with an abundance of old memories.

Your cheeks will blush and your eyes will water as you sing along to the song that got you through the good times and the bad. You might not be a die-hard fan anymore, but you'll remember how much you used to be.

4. Because you should NEVER say no to a good time.

Giphy

I've never had a bad time at a show so I can assure you, you'll have the time of your life.

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.

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.
