4 Ways To Prove You're A Dedicated Fan

Fans. They come in all shapes and sizes. Whether you're a Whovian, Trekkie, or an EXO-L; you dedicate a good chunk of your life for that very thing. If it's music, comic books, television shows, you as the fan make sure you know every little detail. When it comes to me, if you didn't know from my various posts thus far, I'm into the K-Pop scene.

Recently, I had the absolute pleasure of seeing the very band that got me into K-Pop this past weekend for the second time. I was struggling trying to figure out what article idea I could do and then it hit me. Why don't I do a few reasons showing why some people, including myself are dedicated fans when it comes to bands.

Without further adieu!


1. Being first to buy tickets.

Buying tickets for ANYTHING is stressful. I had got up early for these tickets to go on sale and let me tell you, it was stressful. It was like the Hunger Games for tickets. Especially since EVERYONE wanted P1 tickets; which is the photo op. I was lucky enough to get the second meet and greet opportunity since I KNEW I wasn't going to get the first one.

2. Being first in Line For the Show; Otherwise, you're standing in line.

At the fan meeting I went to this past Sunday, I had planned on standing in line. I had done it before when I saw them last year. The only difference between the two times though was that the second time, I had come prepared. I knew it was going to rain, so I had an umbrella. I dressed for the weather. I even brought a snack. There was someone I knew that was there a DAY before the show. That's dedication. Plus, she got to be upfront.

3. Knowing EVERY. SINGLE. DETAIL about them.

When you find that special band or even a television show you just got into, you have to know every single detail about it. For instance, I know that one of the members from the band has the same blood type as me. Is that creepy? Yes, but when they do profiles of each member in Korea for these idol groups, it's added into the their profile, so you know. So, in a way, it's not creepy.

4. Being "somewhat" of a stalker.

Okay, this one isn't me. And let me explain. Stalking is illegal. Don't do it. Remember that band I told you about? Yeah, so when they fly to a new city whether they're in Korea going to Japan or recently flying from Houston to Los Angeles, there are always fans waiting for them at the airport. Most of the time, it's harmless and they're taping the band saying, "Have a safe flight!" or "Have fun in such and such city!" But sometimes, and usually it's when they're going to another Asian country, the fans are just TOO CLOSE. In fact, their agency as a blacklist of people that know not to get too close. That's how bad it is.


There are PLENTY of other things that determine how much of a dedicated fan you are through trivia, watching movies more than one, even reading fan fiction! The point is, you're a fan boy/ fan girl for a reason and NO ONE can take that away from you!

Shout out to GOT7 (@GOT7Officila on Twitter) for ALMOST finishing their fan meeting tour in the United States! Please come back soon, once you finish your next comeback! Love, an I GOT7!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
