Five Seconds of Summer

Five Seconds of Summer, the best band that I believe has ever walked this earth. Okay that is totally exaggerating, but I still love them nonetheless. My love for this band started at the end of my junior year of high school and has spiraled out of control since then. One of my good friends pushed me to write this article because of how obsessed I am, and I can see her reading this and slapping herself for giving me this idea. Sorry, but I think this article was long overdue.

Five Seconds of Summer consists of Calum Hood, Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, and Ashton Irwin. They all knew each other through school or outside that, and they decided to form a band a few years ago. Calum and Luke are the lead singers, with Ashton as the drummer and Michael as backup singer. They originally started out performing at small gigs, only to be recognized by One Direction, becoming the opening act for them. This sparked their birth into the celebrity world.

Now this small Australian band is traveling all over the world performing for millions of fans. They have an album that will be released in the U.S. in July, and they can't go outside without being recognized and chased after by screaming girls. To be honest, they have grown to be so famous and loved that I bet they can't even go into Starbucks without the risk of being noticed by die hard fans. Five Seconds of Summer has taken the world by storm, earning more fans each day. Each member has over 1 million followers on Instagram, and an even larger amount on Twitter. Although I have never seen them live they sound flawless in YouTube videos fans post of them at concerts, and sound even better in acoustic performances.

I love this band because of their good looks (duh) and their ability to stay humble despite all the fame they now have. They are willing to take pictures with fans who stand outside their hotels, and love each of their fans to pieces. They are so kind and respectful that it is impossible to not like them!

Getting Through Finals Week

As winter break is approaching and finals week is coming up, many students are stressed about how to study in order to perform successfully on their tests. Here are some tips on how to be calm, well rested, and ready for finals week. 1. Use Quizlet - I started using Quizlet my junior year of high school, and I have used it ever since. I am now a freshman in college and I still use Quizlet for my classes. Quizlet is amazing; if you have a lot of terms you need to memorize, Quizlet is the perfect online website that will help you study those terms. Once you write in the terms and their definitions, there are a variety of options you can choose in order to study the terms, including a test, flashcards, etc. 2. Get lots of rest - Don't stay out late when you know you have a final the next day. Getting a lot of rest is beneficial if you want to perform well on a test.

Spicy Veggie Bean Chili

Since moving from my old house with a tiny, cramped kitchen to my new house with a large, open kitchen with an island, I have been meal prepping, cooking, and baking a lot more. With this, I have been keen to try new recipes! I do eat meat, but most of the time I tend to cook vegetarian and vegan meals. This vegetarian chili recipe was one that I came across while browsing for a good, hearty chili recipe, and it is so delicious I had to share it with all of you. I did not come up with this recipe myself. The lovely Shannon, with her blog "The Glowing Fridge," posted this recipe. Her website is amazing, and I highly recommend you check it out.
