No pants, no problem

Twenty One Pilots Bring Authenticity To The Grammys
Los Angeles Times

On Sunday night Twenty One Pilots won their first Grammy for "Stressed Out" in the category of Best Pop Duo or Group Performance. Tyler Joseph graciously got up, kissed his wife, and then went on to take off his pants alongside Josh Dun. They made their way to the stage where Tyler began his acceptance speech with story starting with 2 guys in Columbus, Ohio. Several years ago, before anyone knew who they were, Tyler had invited Josh over to watch the Grammys. After a while of watching, they noticed that they were all in their underwear. Tyler finished off the story: "And seriously, Josh turned to me — and we were no one at that time — and he said, “If we ever go to the Grammys, if we ever win a Grammy, we should receive it just like this.”

So Twenty One Pilots made history Sunday, being the first Grammy winners to ever receive their award without pants on. The story is a true testament to how authentic these guys are and how they will always stick to their roots. It's especially difficult for alternative singers to make it big, and this is just why: they're different. Not everyone likes different. Never the less, this band has managed to take their alternative tracks to the mainstream, proving how powerful any genre of music can be.

With their win, they showed that being real and just being yourself can take you far. And as Tyler Joseph said himself "anyone from anywhere can do anything." They are an inspiration for many, especially in a world were there is such an emphasis on fitting in. They challenge our idea of what is normal, making this duo loved by so many.

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.
