Pop punk has been around for quite a few decades, but the cult following has never changed.

In the modern age, pop punk can be defined as a nonstop pizza party where everyone wants to be tough and cool, but they're all soft little flowers in reality.

Pop punk is so identifiable. Youtuber Jarrod Alonge has created a pop punk parody band that's extremely accurate -- and catchy. He's also created an "Every Pop Punk Vocalist" video which is just about perfect in depicting band members.

Needless to say, pop punk is pretty consistent. Every fan has experienced similar situations. Being the fragile flowers we are, we've also experienced many of the same problems.

These are some truly tragic struggles every pop punk fan has been through.


1. You can't decide which flannel to wear when it gets cool outside.

2. You don't have enough friends to put together an acoustic pop punk bonfire sesh.

3. Your nose ring broke or you lost the ball to your septum ring.

4. The windbreaker your favorite band is selling is sold out in your size.

5. You can't afford a Penny board.

6. Sally's Beauty Supply doesn't have the right color of Manic Panic in stock.

7. You missed a sale at Vans.

8. The record store doesn't carry vinyl for your favorite band.

9. You didn't hear about that secret show happening downtown in time.


10. You're not sure how to fill in the blank for a "Stay ______" tattoo.

11. That one song reminds you of your ex too much.

12. Actually, that whole album reminds you of your ex too much.

13. You want to get out of your town, but you also love it a lot too???

14. You don't have enough friends to sing gang vocals.

15. You don't know if you should buy a pizza or records.

16. You ran out of room for stickers on your laptop.

17. The Warped Tour lineup isn't pop punk enough.

18. You want to go to a living room show, but no one's performing in living rooms.

19. You want to mosh, but you're also a fragile baby or something like that.

20. You have a hard time finding people who like the same eras or styles of pop punk as you.

21. You cry thinking about if you couldn't #DefendPopPunk.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads.
