True Life: My Friends Are Vine-Famous

These two are pretty confident for a couple of kids from Sebastian, a town with just under 23,000 people. But they've got plenty reason. Over a year ago, they gave Vine a shot, for the first time and it went better for them than you'd think. They weren't making the six second videos for much longer than a week, when they already had 1,100 followers. The dynamic duo also had their aforementioned “Cart Vine” shared by “NoChillVines”, an account that has over 1.7 million followers. Almost immediately after, their reign was cut short, by the hand of Pam (that’s Havin’s mom) and they were forced off of the app, until now. “The Adventures Of Havin And AJ” is back, and with a vengeance. After a hiatus of more than a year, they’re back and have already boosted their account’s following to more than 1,400 people. For these creatives, that just isn’t going to be enough. They’re hungry for fame, so get ready, because they’re about to take a huge bite out of your cellular data.

An interview of Havin McGeady and AJ Prudenti.

How did it all start?

Havin - We just woke up one day, and just wanted to get on vine. We were sitting in class, and we were just like, “We could do this, we’re funnier than them.”

Where do you draw inspiration from for your videos?

AJ - Hm, the inspiration behind the videos...I draw inspiration from a lot of things. Everyday life, my friends, the stuff we say is pretty funny. I’m just a pretty unique character in my mind, it all just comes from my own genius. Stuff like that, stuff around me, stuff that influences me, already.

What is your funniest vine, to date?

AJ - That's like asking us to pick a child. The one with the bike was my favorite one, it took me so long to get the balls to crash.

What’s your favorite, Havin?

Havin - Hmmm...I think “The Cart”(he immediately followed up his answer by showing me “The Cart”, and laughed to himself)

Tell me that background story behind the cart.

AJ - We’re good with physical comedy. (They started talking about new ideas, but stopped after AJ said “no that’ll get us arrested”)

How would you describe where you are right now, as far as Vine-fame?

AJ - Nowhere near where we want to be.

Havin - OH NO.

AJ - You guys think its a joke, we want to be in movies, in Hollywood.

Havin - We wanna “Fayetteville” Sebastian.

Where do you see yourselves in about 20 weeks?

Havin - 20 weeks, that’s almost like half a year, right?

(The two then tried as hard as they could to figure out how many weeks were in a year)

AJ - That’s a good question...We wanna be on the vine radar, we just gotta make an impact, as long as we’re making funny s**t for people, as long as we make genuine funny s**t.

One more question, why "The Adventures Of Havin And AJ"? Why not AJ And Havin?

Havin - Oh my god, I don’t know. I feel like it just sounds better.

AJ - I think it sounds better, that never crossed my mind

Havin - Never crossed mine either.

So no power struggle?

AJ - Nah. I think we understand our roles in our relationship.

Havin - Oh that’s never been a problem...I think AJ came up with it anyways.

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.

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.
