10 Reasons Why PVRIS Should Be Your New Favorite Band
Ashley Osborn

While they are a "female-fronted band," that is not the best description of their category. PVRIS is very much an alternative synth-pop/rock group that just happens to have a female vocalist.

1. Female Singer

They are a female fronted group in a music industry with not nearly enough women in it. Lynn Gunn is more than just a phenomenal vocalist; she's a badass with opinions she is not afraid to speak (role model material).



2. PVRIS has a strong aesthetic.

From their promotional content to their outfits, live show, and music videos the band has a consistent black and white, blurry, soft, ghostly vibe that reminds fans that music has a deep connection with art itself. The band could open up their own art museum-goes-haunted house at this point.


3. Breaking boundaries

They break the boundaries of typical rock/pop groups by often abandoning traditional instruments to make way for synth and keyboards which lead me to my next reason...


4. The songs

...each song sounds apart of something bigger than the song itself, it becomes a part of the universe. Their sounds offer an escape to another world or dimension if you close your eyes and allow yourself to get lost in it.

5. They work very hard.
When is this band not on tour (worldwide)?! Just within the past two years, they have supported Mayday Parade, Pierce The Veil, Bring Me The Horizon, and now Fall Out Boy. This also means you'll probably have a chance to see them in your city if (when) you fall in love with them.

6. They made music videos for every song on their album White Noise.
You have a lot of catching up to do so finish this and then go get started.

7. The band uses their platform and following to talk about important issues such as LGBTQ rights.
They were huge supports of the #LoveIsLove movement and often are very open in interviews about topics such as sexuality.

8. The Merchandise
Okay, they honestly have great merchandise and not your basic screened print T-shirt. It's practically its own clothing line.

9. PVRIS has more music than you might think!
While they are known for their White Noise album, they also have PVRIS Acoustic and Empty Room Sessions. Don't worry, though, more music is on its way including a deluxe version of their current album with new songs.

10. They have a lot of potential.
There is no denying that PVRIS has had massive success thus far, but they are definitely not letting up anytime soon. There is something special about supporting a band as they start to grow and by supporting this band there is no doubt you'll have the pleasure of experiencing that.

	One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:

If you were born between September 23rd - October 22nd, then you are a Libra. Let's be real, Libras are the best because you are the perfect balance of all things in life.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

        Brisanis
    
Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.
So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.
