5 Reasons Why I Love 'The Adventure Zone'
the Adventure Zone

If you haven't had the joy of playing a tabletop game such as Dungeons and Dragons, than believe me you are missing out. If you are interested in the game, but too "not-a-nerd" to actually pick up the dice yourself, than I highly recommend the podcast titled "The Adventure Zone". This podcast tells the story of the McElroys, three brothers and their father, who adventure through their own fantasy world, causing a lot of hijinks and destruction in their wake. Without further ado, here are Five reasons why you should check out the Adventure Zone. (All art belongs to their original artists).

1. Tons of lovable characters

Whether a mercenary or a bugbear with an affinity for Oolong tea, the Adventure Zone creates characters who you will hate to see fall out of the story, and cheer when they come back for only a passing moment.

2. The hosts are hilarious.

When you listen to a show, you want to be entertained. why else would you listen? The McElroys manage not only to tell an amazing story, but also make the whole thing amazingly funny. Taako the character himself is a joke that lasts the entire series. If nothing else, tune in for the giggles.

3. An intricate story

Gryphon McElroy is the Game Master for the Adventure Zone, and it is he who has helped to flush out the world in an amazing way. With each adventure cruising form one seamless bit to another, he truly has shown his genius and ability in both storytelling and entertainment.

4. A secret society

Who doesn't enjoy a good secret society? When it comes to these heroes, they have their fill with the Bureau of Balance, the good-guy Illuminati of this fantasy world. With their card-key bracers (as seen above) and their orders form the Director, nothing is un-doable for these fine heroes!

5. The hosts are very much in touch with their fans.

No picture here. None could encapsulate how good the McElroys are with staying connected with their fans. Whether it is including the names of loyal audience members by means of twitter or fanart by means of their Tumblr, The Zone Cast is able to connect with their audience in a way that not a lot of entertainers can.


So what are you waiting for? Go online to maximumfun.org and find the Adventure Zone and start up your listening adventure!

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.
