The Band That Changed My Life

This may sound completely cheesy, but when I say that a band has changed my life, it's true. I have mentioned in previous posts that Five Seconds of Summer is my favorite band, and they are, in fact, the band that has changed my life.

Five Seconds of Summer originally started out as four ordinary boys growing up in Sydney, Australia. They quickly rose to fame when they formed their band and posted covers of songs on YouTube, and toured with One Direction while doing multiple radio interviews and other acoustic performances. Now, they have a huge fan base all over the world, and continue to grow every single day.

Whether it is a meet and greet or just watching them perform, multiple fans are seen crying due to sheer bliss, or the large amount of emotions coursing through their body, so strong they can't handle it. For me, it is both. Seeing these four boys living their dream makes me so happy, and the fact that they never thought they would even get to perform out of their own hometown just shows how much talent they really have, as they are now touring all over the world. In interviews, the boys mention how they still don't fully understand why girls like their band, and to the fans, that is completely insane. Personally, I love each of the boys because they make up Five Seconds of Summer, but that fact is irrelevant. What really matters to me is  how talented they all are, along with their adorably dorky, loving personalities they show in each interview and performance. I have so much respect for these guys, and even though they do not know who I am and even though it is so unlikely that I will meet them, they always put a smile on my face, and turn a negative day into a positive one.

Five Seconds of Summer has changed many of their fans lives, and I don't know if they hear it enough. They inspire fans to pursue their dreams, and the passion they put into each performance shows their dedication to their jobs. Even though they are too busy for girlfriends or even to go home because of them being in a different country or state every day, I just wanted to dedicate this post to them, and honor the fact that they work so hard to please every single one of their fans, including me.

I am a true fan, even buying tickets to their concert 346 days in advance (insane to some people, but I'm sure any 5SOS fans reading this understand my reason in doing so). These boys are living their dream, and I love how they are so humble and grounded, despite having so much fame at their young age. I see them as performers, but also as normal teenage boys also who just happen to be famous, and even though I would probably swoon in their presence, I would want to tell them just how much they truly mean to me.

So Luke, Calum Ash, Michael, even though you guys are probably not reading this, on the behalf of me and the fans, I just wanted to say thank you for all you have done for us. You guys have made us laugh, cry with joy, and scream in your presence. And even though you may not fully understand our love for you, the fact that you guys have inspired us to be positive and to carry out our dreams is what means the most.

Here is a performance of 5SOS:

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. It does sound lame to go to sleep really early, but if you do so, your body will thank you. By going to sleep early...

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.
