The evolution of music tends to bring out the best and worst of those who are part of a scene. In this case, trance music fans tend to be some of the most passionate fans in dance music, if not in music as a whole. Many in the scene revere this music as life saving or meaningful to an extent it can be indescribable. Likewise, in recent years, there has been many claims that trance "died" or "lost" by many. Depending on where you stand in this debate, you find yourself your being labeled an elitist or purist.

An Elitist is defined as one who thinks their choices in favorite DJs/Producers, record labels, and choice of events is better than the next fan. Their opinions are better than others, and can cause controversy. A Purist is defined as a fan who believes they were not part of the "dying" stages of trance. They may also tend to cause controversy in their own right by using their age or attendance of events to try to "school" others on who, what, when, where, and why this type of music exists.

So, as you have gathered, both labels have controversy that may be viewed negative. As a member of this scene, purist has always seemed to be the better choice, however, upon reflection, not the case. Why is this even a question? After contacting others, many make a decision on their own label and many also find themselves as just a trance fan. The time, age, artist, event, and any other option should NOT matter. The music is what brings us together as a community. Despite our differences in sub-genres (Tech Trance, Psy Trance, Progressive, Uplifting, Vocal, Euphoric, etc.), the fact that our intelligent community can agree that the music is deeper and more emotional than meets the eye.

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.
