The War On Drugs Headline Show In Arizona
Lauren Hernandez

The War On Drugs is an American rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The band consists of singer-songwriter and guitarist Adam Granduciel, bassist David Hartley, keyboardist Robbie Bennett, drummer Charlie Hall, Jon Natchez on saxophone and keyboards, and guitarist Anthony LaMarca.

After the release of their fourth album, A Deeper Understanding, the band toured throughout Europe and North America. A Deeper Understanding won Best Rock Album at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards.


The War On Drugs brought Califone out for their show in Phoenix, Arizona. The band played to a predominantly older crowd in a sold-out venue!

After the opening act, The War On Drugs played 16 songs, five of which were from their new album. The audience knew the words to every song and showed a deep appreciation for the music they were hearing as there are not many bands who still make pure rock music.

The frontman, Adam Granduciel played an outstanding guitar throughout the entire show. Granduciel's vocals were phenomenal and flowed great with the music from the rest of the band. Each member was extremely talented and humble making the show one hundred percent worth your money.


The band's performance really makes you feel connected with their music. The songs, "Red Eyes," "Pain," and "Under the Pressure" were my favorite live.

The band's lights and stage set up were amazing! Even with the awesome stage, the band's music and performance speak volume. Their music is praised by music lovers and other bands along with being critically acclaimed!

If you have a chance to see this band, I would highly recommend doing so. There is a reason the band tours frequently and sells out their shows!

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.

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.
