Smallpools

What's better than a small pool?

One of my favorite bands that I've met. Smallpools (ig: @smallpools) was created in 2013. This four piece indie band consists of Sean Scanlon who is the lead vocalist and plays piano/keyboard for the band (@seaneats), Mike Kamerman who plays the guitar (@michaelkamerman), Joe Intile who plays the bass guitar (@josephintile) and Beau Kuther who plays the drums (@beauknowsdrums). Sadly they only have a single out, but I expect more to come out soon.

Pandora Radio says that the similar artists are: The Colourist, Magic Man, Two Door Cinema Club, Walk The Moon, Børns, St. Lucia, The 1975, and Passion Pit.

Here are my top five (even though I love them all):

1. Dreaming

This was the first song that ever heard from them. It just so happens that this is their most popular song. Its great. You probably have heard it before. The music video is also worth checking out.


2. Mason Jar

This song is fun to sing along to. The repetitive chorus makes it a great windows down- extra loud song to sing at the top of your lungs. Trust me, it has been done before.

3. Over & Over

Such a great song for all those summer nights you don’t want to end quite yet. ”I wanna live this night over and over.”

4. No Story Time

I can’t find the words to describe this song. It’s amazing, just like all the other songs. Just listen.

5. Killer Whales

I think I like this one because I like whales. I know it’s weird and not a legitimate excuse to like a song, but that’s why I like it, even though it has nothing to do with whales. (It’s also really REALLY good.)

They also have some really cool remixes out. This one’s Dreaming remixed by Magic Man:



I got to meet this super amazing band. They were the opening band for Neon Trees (which was amazing) but I was more excited to see Smallpools. After the concert, they (mostly Sean) spent about an hour talking to me and my friends. They’re the best.

Joe and the Katie Sandwich (can you tell we were excited?)

Mike

Beau

And Sean

He didn't believe I could pick him up, so I did. (Yes, he is on my back.)

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
