An Evening "Of Greetings And Goodbyes"

My first experience seeing AFI.

24
An Evening "Of Greetings And Goodbyes"
Alexa Howell

There are no words to explain the feeling when I went to see AFI for the first time, February 10th in Orlando. They were joined by support acts Nothing and Souvenirs, which were both nothing short of incredible.

With a room packed with 2 thousand other people anxiously waiting, you can feel the anticipation for AFI to come on stage. As soon as the lights cut, you could hear the intro to "I Hope You Suffer" start to kick in following the members coming on stage. Then everything stopped and they went right into "Miss Murder" which was pleasantly surprising. Fun fact: "Miss Murder" was the very first song I had heard from them back in 7th grade.

They were touring in support of their new self-titled album called "AFI (The Blood Album,)" which should definitely be on your records to check out if you haven't heard it yet. The entire band had the whole audience captivated, particular the vocalist, Davey Havok, who is very theatrical.

They played roughly around 20 songs, expanding through their entire catalog with a different set each night, leaving all of us wondering what our show would be getting (my boyfriend, Andrew, is still salty about not enough crash love songs.)

This night will be unforgettable and I can only hope that I can catch them at least one more time before the year is over. If AFI is coming to a city near you, I would most definitely recommend checking them out!

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.
