Seeing Your Heroes Perform Live

It's hard to know what to feel when the people who were a significant part of your "growing-up" soundtrack are going to be playing some of your favorite songs in front of you.

Seeing Your Heroes Perform Live
E.P. Thampoe

Two EDM enthusiasts and a lifelong musician walk into a casino's concert and other events space. They look around at all of the other patrons and also at the lengthy lines for concessions and merchandise.

This isn't the start of a joke and in that same vein; there is no punchline. This is reality. It's hard to know what to feel when the people who were a significant part of your "growing-up" soundtrack are going to be playing some of your favorite songs in front of you.

You can just envision how much your legs and feet are going to hurt after all the dancing and standing you'll be doing during the show. When you get inside, your knees buckle and you are ready for what is to come. You end up ruining the voice you worked so hard to keep healthy by screaming along to the vibrant songs but you think, That's quite alright. This is just what is to come of going to concerts.

You look at the two people you came with, people you haven't known for all that long but nonetheless have become quite close to you. You look at them and you look at the musicians in front of you and you just stop and go into yourself for a minute. You're actually here and you get to listen to songs that you've tried to learn over the years by the people who wrote them.

And for a weekday night during your new life away from the one you fit into like a glove, that's pretty damn mental.

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.

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.
